Some time ago I bought a physical copy of Rat Attack for PC, because I had fond memories of playing it on a Playstation Demo Disk.

Unfortunately, while the game itself technically works, after I get past the first "chapter" ("House"), I get a message saying "You need to download the next part of this game to continue. Visit the Freeloader web site? Press OK or Cancel to exit the game".

Pressing OK does nothing, while Cancel does indeed exit the game. Looking at the game files it seems that all of the files are there (I can see the files for the other levels and they seem to have the same size as the one that loads correctly).

Freeloader no longer seems to exist and even searching sites like myabandonware turns up empty for this game. Am I screwed and this game is lost media now, or is there anything I can do to get it to run past the first couple of levels?

Hello!

I have to RMA my Steam Deck (one of thumbsticks grinds against the plastic case) and I'm trying to backup my non-Steam games (and their Lutris configs).

Apparently Discovery uses flatpak, so Lutris config files aren't where the internet says they are (~/.config/lutris/games/, ~/.config/lutris/system.yml, ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db).

Could anyone please tell me where I can find these on the Steam Deck and what else I might be missing? I've already backed up ~/Games but I'd rather not have to re-add the games manually :(

Bonus question is if anyone has any tips for painless Steam Deck backup/restore :)

EDIT:

After a long search, I was able to find it. If anyone else is wondering, the Flatpak/Steam Deck Lutris config files are located in ~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/config/lutris.

For some reason, Lutris-installed native Linux games also treat ~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/ as their home folder (e.g. Stardew Valley stores its saves in ~/.var/app/net.lutris.Lutris/.config/StardewValley instead of ~/.config/StardewValley).

If anyone can say why this happens, that would be very appreciated!
