Crucial Fixes and Improvements
This release primarily focuses on bug fixes and some major improvements.
The post-game cloud save syncing for Epic games should now work properly and sync only after the game exits. On the other hand, game/folder names and account usernames that include special characters should no longer face any issues.
EDIT - Currently, this release DOESN'T WORK on the Deck (Steam OS 3.2) or any Linux distro using glibc 2.33 and below as of now. These users are requested to use the older v2.5.0 release for now or wait till their distro updates the glibc version.
Bug Fixes:
- Check gamemoderun path - #51
- Forgot to make launch scripts executable
- Forgot to add the executable path in
AddToSteam.sh - Fix path to executable in launch script - #58

Changes:
- Elaborated error dialogs to specify location of logs
- Create config folder in every Steam account subfolder if absent to prevent crash - #55 and #54
- Add UTF-8 Encoding to support non-ascii characters (special symbols and non-English letters) and avoid crash - many issues
