I started playing on deck. My save on deck says it’s synced to the cloud but my Windows PC can’t download it. I know this is because it’s using the linux native version on steam deck but the game crashes when i try to run it with proton. Does this work for anybody else?
update: reinstalling the game on my windows pc fixed the issue

It should just work; my friend began playing Shredder's Revenge on his Steam Deck last night and I know he just downloaded and played (he's not tech savvy and hasn't done anything like setting up Proton QT or adjusted game properties) the game out of the box. He wanted to play on his TV and doesn't have a USB hub or anything, so I walked him through how to make sure his saves synced.
He downloaded the game to his Windows PC and the saves synched up with no additional effort on his part.
reinstalling the game on my windows pc seems to have fixed the problem.

Linux versions of games have their own saves , they would only download to your desktop if that was using Linux as far as I'm aware.

to be clear, this game is native linux on steam deck but windows native on the pc. apparently the devs put in the work so the saves are compatible but something on the windows side had just gone wonky. when i tried forcing proton compatibility it would download the windows version and then just crash every time on startup, cause that was the first thing I thought of to try to fix it.
It depends on the game and how the devs set up Steam Cloud. Many games are set up to have saves synced cross-platform (Win, Linux) and will work fine
