Weird behavior naming characters (+solution)

The thing is, after swaping to linux mint and reinstalling the game, I “lost” a character. He dissapeared from the the menu. (The character’s name was mefistófeles. Notice the accent)

See? he isn't there :(

After going to local files, i found this

Well, that must be the problem. So I changed the folder name to “_mefistofeles”
BUT HOLD ON, new problem: i’ve the character locally and it seems that synchronizing the saves (yes, i play with cloud save enabled) it is not obvious.

In short, in spite of not being obvious, it’s easy. To synchronize GD local saves with the cloud (thanks, google):
“Disable cloud (on steam properties and ingame), put the save files into cloud save directory, reset steam app (shut it down completly), open steam, turn cloud back on in game properties, open the game, turn on cloud saves, shut down the game, shut down steam, open steam again and open game again”

HOPLA! MY STONEPLATE GREAVES MULE IS BACK

yeah yeah yeah and a lvl 100 character BUT I’VE MY GREAVES BACK

IN SHORT: BEWARE WITH THE NAMES, TRAVELERS.

Thanks for this.
Very niche problem to have, but I bet strangers on the internet 10 years later would be really happy you posted this today. I know for sure I was with some ancient reddit posts.
