FF7Recomp 1.1.8: Steam Cloud saves shared with the PC game

on GitHub

New: share your saves with the PC version through Steam Cloud

1.1.7's Steam Cloud saves went between Android devices only, because the PC version's saves were thought to be another format. They aren't: a test showed the current PC release (FINAL FANTASY VII on Steam) writes exactly the same save files as the game FF7Recomp is built from. Same 15 slots per file, same checksums, and no metadata.xml needed. So Steam Cloud saves can now be shared with the PC game.

Achievements → Steam Cloud saves → Sync my saves with Steam Cloud now has two choices:

• With the PC game too (the default): Save 1 to Save 10 are the same files as the PC version's, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\FINAL FANTASY VII Steam Edition\<SteamID>. Play on the PC, close the game, and your progress is waiting on Android next time you press Play, and the other way round. The PC picks up Android saves the next time FINAL FANTASY VII starts there.
• Android devices only: as in 1.1.7. Saves go to their own FF7Recomp folder in Steam Cloud, and the PC game's saves are left alone.

A save changed on only one side goes to the other. If a save file is different on both sides, for example the first time you turn this on, the newer one is kept. Any save about to be replaced is first copied to Android/data/com.ff7recomp/files/steam/cloud-backup, so nothing is lost.

Tested with the PC release and an AYN Thor:

• A save written by the PC game loaded and played in FF7Recomp.
• A save from FF7Recomp went through Steam Cloud and loaded in the PC game.
• The PC's saves came down to the Thor byte-identical.

Save files from the current PC release can now also be brought in with Save states → Import saves. The launcher used to say they weren't supported.
