Files and saves
Where your saves live
Section titled “Where your saves live”Every user gets a persistent home directory per app. When you launch a game, that directory is mounted into the container as the app’s home. Save files, settings and Steam installs land there and are still there next time.
The directory belongs to the pair of you and the app. Two different games do not share one, and two different users never share one.
Your administrator chooses the managed-home root on each host. Quasar supports mount-path storage: the directory is a real path on the GPU host, which makes backing up saves a matter of backing up that directory. The older Docker-volume home driver has been removed.
One session per app at a time
Section titled “One session per app at a time”If you try to launch a game you already have running somewhere, Quasar refuses and tells you which session is holding it.
This is not a licensing restriction. Two containers writing the same save directory at the same time corrupts save files, so the home directory has a single writer by design.
You can run different apps at the same time, up to whatever concurrent session limit your account has.
Multiple GPU hosts
Section titled “Multiple GPU hosts”If your instance has more than one GPU machine, whether your files follow you between them depends on how your administrator set up storage. Hosts may use different roots. On shared storage, files follow you. On per-machine local storage, they do not, and a save made on one host is not visible from the other.
If your instance is like that, your administrator can set placement to prefer the host that already holds your files.
Your account pages
Section titled “Your account pages”Under /app/account:
Profile is your name, email and password.
Stream quality sets your default quality tier so you are not choosing on every launch. Your administrator may have set an instance default and may have prevented you overriding it.
Overlay controls what the in-session overlay shows.
Devices lists every browser you have logged in from, along with what Quasar measured that it can decode. You can rename them, mark them trusted, or revoke one. Revoking invalidates that device’s login.
Sessions shows your active sessions and lets you end one. Useful when you left something running on another machine and now cannot launch it.
Storage shows your home directories and their sizes.
