Contains two scripts:
**Linux:**
Backs up your "linux_save098.sav" file on Linux and renames "save098.sav" to "linux_save098.sav", because Overkill told the port to only read "linux_save098" (previously reserved for Steam Deck backups) in Update 228.
**Windows:**
Backs up your "save098.sav" and "linux_save098.sav" files on Windows and renames "linux_save098.sav" to "save098.sav", because it only reads "save098.sav" (as intended).
*Yes, this is indeed needlessly convoluted and stupid and baffling for Overkill to make Linux Folks do all this, but here we are.*

**Dear Overkill: Seriously, just revert this change** The changes to cross-saving solves nothing, and *"stability of saves between OS's"* has never been an issue before now. Either you're pre-emptively trying to fix a problem that isn't a problem, or are deliberately trying to segregate users for some reason. Either way, cut it out already. I just want to cross-save in peace.
1.0: Initial release.
1.1: Added Windows cmd script, for all those dual-booters.
Free to redistribute.
Instructions
You **need** to know where your saves are located (usually in `~/.steam/steam/userdata/STEAM3 ID/218620/remote`. or `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[STEAM3 ID]\218620\remote` and make a note of the ID marked here as "STEAM3 ID". **These scripts will fail if you merely try to run them first time without doing this setup.** Add your STEAM3 ID to the marked places in the file, and then run it. Then hope and pray to Linus Torvalds and/or Bill Gates that nothing broke.
**To use the Linux script:**
Do as above, then run the .sh file via Terminal.
**To use the Windows script:**
Do as above, then double click on the .bat file and it'll run via command prompt automagically.
