In Goldberg emu:
Create force_steamid.txt inside steam_settings/ with your desired 17-digit SteamID64.
In SteamEmu (RUNE):
Edit steam_emu.ini → #AccountId=12345678 (remove # and set 8-digit account ID). 5dmcity steamemu saves better
Then copy old save files into the new location. The game will think it’s the same user. In Goldberg emu: Create force_steamid
5DMCity didn’t just repackage existing emulators. They forked, debugged, and rewrote critical sections of the DRM bypass to prioritize Save State Persistence. The game will think it’s the same user
You bought Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam, but you want a DRM-free copy on your Steam Deck to save battery. Normally, your 40-hour legit save won’t load because the Steam ID differs. With 5DMCity’s Save Converter, you paste your legit steam_autocloud.vdf into the tool, and it rewrites the ownership metadata to match the emulated ID. It just works.
