Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/361420/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (361420) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. ↑ For exclusive fullscreen, change values FullscreenMode, LastConfirmedFullscreenMode, and PreferredFullscreenMode to 0 in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Astro\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini for Steam).[4]
