With GameVault, you can play and track games together with your friends on a shared file server, free from any restrictions that traditional game platforms may impose. We have designed it to work with DRM-free games, providing a unique solution for those who want a more flexible and open approach to gaming. Think of it like Jellyfin, but for Videogames.

GameVault offers a self-hosted approach that gives you complete control over your gaming experience. The platform enables you to browse your server's game collection, securely download games, launch and play them, and even track your playtimes and progress - regardless of whether the server is offline. Additionally, you can compare stats and play states with other users on the server.

Our server features offer automatic indexing of games on the file system into a database, enrichment of games with metadata like tags and genres using RAWG API, multi-user authentication, and configurable logging. We have also implemented health monitoring, full-text search, filters, sorting, pagination, and a fully documented API. The GameVault platform is highly configurable to suit your needs.

### Cross-Device Sync

With your savefiles stored in the cloud, you can install the same game on another device and immediately access the same save state. Just launch the game, and GameVault will seamlessly load your existing progress. Whether you’re on a second PC or coming back after a fresh install, your saves will always be there.

:::warning **Potential Restore Issues**
44+
Ludusavi may not properly restore save files in certin cross-device cases:
45+
46+
- Save files are stored within the **Game Installation Directory**, and your **Game Installation Directory differs** across your devices.
47+
- Save files are stored within the **Windows user profile**, and the **Windows username differs** across your devices.
48+
49+
This is due to Ludusavi storing absolute paths instead of using dynamic placeholders (e.g., %USERPROFILE% or %INSTALLDIR%).

Sometimes you may need to sync savefiles manually, such as when you’ve been offline and only just reconnected to the internet. You can upload your savefiles by using the **Upload Savefiles** button on the Game Page.

If you notice anything unusual or different than a harmless warning, make a copy and securely store the file located at /tmp/gamevault-pre-restore.db on your container/server. This file serves as a backup created just before restoring the uploaded backup. In case of a major failure, GameVault may also perform this pre-restore backup restoration automatically.
