I’m not entirely sure how, but when I opened Soul Calibur VI on my desktop it acted like it was the first time I launched the game! My character was nowhere to be found, luckily I still had the save on my Steam Deck. I launched it on Deck to make sure it was still there, and then closed the desktop session, followed by the Steam Deck session. This way the uncorrupted Steam Deck save would push my Desktop! I would have hated to start from scratch… instead I made it to Level 50!
