Game Progress lost after update
hiii, i have been using heroic game launcher for a long time and this never happened me before but
I have been playing lately Death Stranding and i haven't seen but got an udate to it, idk when it happened, but today as i start death stranding all my game progress was lost, like if i never played with it before, i used a lot the option "run game offline" but i sometimes turned it on so it must saved my progress no?
OS: arch, before i started the game i got a lot of errors for the game not being able to run(solved with changing to proton-ge wine version), the drive where was the game installed was not modified/changed/chown-ed
doesn anyone have any advice how to get back my game progress? i was in the midddle of the game so i don't want to play it again, PLS help

Do you have switched to wine-ge?

i was on wine-ge
i think wine-ge-proton7-10 or 27

the thing is wine-ge/wine staging have a different wine prefix structure than proton-ge/proton
according to this https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Death_Stranding#Save_game_data_location your saves you should in
<your wine prefix for the game>/drive_c/users/user/AppData/Local/KojimaProductions
when you change to proton-ge, now it creates a pfx folder inside your wine prefix folder, so you have to move the save from the previous location to <your wine prefix for the game>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/KojimaProductions
Before moving things around, look for your saves and back them up somewhere elseharsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
i don't have <my wine prefix for the game>/drive_c/users/user/AppData/Local/KojimaProductions folder, only at AppData/LocalLow/KojimaProductions
where is a random folder with a lot of strings, and inside there are 2 more folders with names profile and transfer

i haven't touched this directory(or i knowed where are my game saves) also the update(what the game had) had something to do with how they manage game saves
only at AppData/LocalLow/KojimaProductionsYup that's the one
harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
but there's nothing in those folders
that's the weird part
There should be more folders in there
Are you sure you're looking in the right prefix?
harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
yea. ig
.
Well, that's all I can tell you. Saves should be there; if they're not, you're either looking in the wrong place, or something deleted them
Looking at my files more closely: The game seems to create 22 folders for each save type (auto, manual, quick) when you first save the game
So maybe running a global file search for something like
manualsave22 finds something?harsh-harlequinOP•3y ago
not realy
i think this wasn't a heroic issue, probably the update for DS deleted the old saves
