I have the following System: Debian/GNU 8 Jessie.

I Have installed Steam through apt-get.

Now when I start Rocket League, it always goes back to some config I made like a year ago (also on linux).

If I change something in the Settings or on my car, it will only persist until I close the game. When I start the game again, all the settings and my car are set back to the one config I once made.

It does not matter if I enable the Steam-Cloud-Sync or not.

I even completely purged the Steam app and the corresponding directories and reinstalled a completely new Steam and RocketLeague, only to find out that the configuration gone back to the one I made long time ago.

The Steam support was so nice and told me they only support SteamOS, and not Debian.

Someone knows what I can do against that? (It is really annoying having to remap the controls every time I start the game xD)

Thanks, Jukisu.

EDIT: added console outputs:

jukisu@jp:~/.steam$ ls -lah

It seems like everything has at least r/w permissions...

This sounds like a permission problem. Not 100% sure where steam saves the games/configurations, but have look inside ~/.local/share/Steam.

You could also try starting steam as root user. Perhaps by doing "sudo steam" in terminal. Not able to be more specific atm since I do not have a testrig available.

Whenever you find the location of your game, please post a "ls -lah" of that folder and I might guide you if needed.

Edit: PS! Do not run your games using sudo or root user. This is just a step for troubleshooting. There are dangers running such applications as root. Doing a search on google it seems like steam have disabled the possibility for running as root/su.
To solve this temporarily for tests you could comment out that part:

# Don't allow running as root

if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then

    show_message --error $"Cannot run as root user"

    exit 1

fi

in the file /usr/bin/steam.
