Before buying the game, I researched a bit about how the game ran on Linux and found out that there were quite a few texture bugs, for example. I was recommended to play the Windows version using Steam’s Proton, which I did. The game ran fine, but since my PC isn’t that great, I wanted to see if running the game natively on the Linux version would give me a performance boost. To my surprise, when I finished downloading the Linux version and started the game, I noticed that my character had disappeared… In short, I created another character and saw that the Linux version was more buggy than the Windows version, so I went back to the Windows version using Proton. When I started the game again, my original character was there, but the other character I created in the Linux version was not.
Note: I created both characters in offline mode with Steam Cloud enabled.
