Steam – If I switch to the Steam version of a game, do the saves survive

braidsteam

I purchased the humble indie bundle 2, downloaded braid, and installed it. Since the bundle is now available on Steam, I am now downloading the Steam version for achievements etc. Will the steam version use the same save as the non-Steam version?

Related: If I have the non-Steam version of a game and the Steam version, is it possible to make Steam only redownload changed files? Not a huge issue for the Humble Indie games, being quite small in size, but it would be handy for something like UT3 if I activated my key on Steam.

Best Answer

I have now redownloaded Braid, and was not only given my old save file, but achievements based on my existing progress.
