Yakuza 0 Saving issues.
Yakuza 0 with heroic from GOG will NOT save the game. I have tripple checked all paths for prefixes etc, and even managed to grab my cloud saves to the default folder and load it. But when i try to save the game, it will not save. I am using a wine prefix also.

Also to note, i have tried other games, including Soul Reaver, which saved just fine

Why is your wine prefix in the same location as the game
also, are you sure the game is saved?
I mean did you actually save it from within the game?
it does not have auto saves
itchy-amethyst•2y ago
Wine - Wine-GE-Proton7-26
is very old
pls update
like-goldOP•2y ago
Oh i know that, i used a phone booth to save it, and it wouldnt actually save
oh, where do i go to update the wine prefix?
crude-lavender•2y ago
I'll try that myself too
everything can be found in game settings
like-goldOP•2y ago
it wouldnt say save completed in the bottom right, and it would not have a continue option when i would go back to the game
like-goldOP•2y ago
thats what i have in my drop down for prefixes
crude-lavender•2y ago
works for me with Proton 8
and those are wine versions
like-goldOP•2y ago
Oh, ill try with proton 8
Yeah its still not saving
should i try reinstalling the game and prefix etc fully
crude-lavender•2y ago
are you checking that in game or looking at files?
like-goldOP•2y ago
checking it in game, and then looking at files
crude-lavender•2y ago
just checked and it did save correctly for me
change your wine prefix to
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Yakuza 0
did you tamper with any permissions in Flatseal?like-goldOP•2y ago
I havent tampered with any permissions, ill make sure ive got that prefix setup
Tried that, its still not saving the game
crude-lavender•2y ago
@OOOOOF123 any ideas?

Another thing to note, when i tried setting up and installing it through GOG launcher via steam proton, it saved fine
so it seems to be when i play it through the heroic launcher specifically
crude-lavender•2y ago
it's a issue with your configuration somehow
probable-pink•2y ago
I'm also having this issue
The Steam version saves, but the GOG through Heroic doesn't save
probable-pink•2y ago
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
I wonder if it's trying to save the game in a directory the flatpak doesn't have access to
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
I usually check here https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Yakuza_0#Save_game_data_location but it doesn't mention what's the save path for the GOG version
probable-pink•2y ago
It should have access, pretty sure
probable-pink•2y ago
GOG path is .../AppData/Local/GOG.com/Galaxy/Applications/55966314534907843/Storage/Shared/Files/
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
does
"/run/media/jes/LMedia/Games/Heroic Prefixes/Yakuza 0/pfx/dosdevices/c:/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/GOG.com/Galaxy/Applications/55966314534907843/Storage/Shared/Files" exist?probable-pink•2y ago
Yes, I even placed my Steam Deck save file in there and can continue from it
The game just doesn't save
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
and also, is the path matching the case of all the letters?
probable-pink•2y ago
Actually that is strange, I don't have a pfx folder but the log does
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
I do remember there's a weird issue with Borderlands 3 that you can't save files with Wine-GE and you have to use Proton-GE for example, so maybe this is one of those cases where something from wine/proton makes it fail, but I don't know the reason
the
pfx folder is there if you use Proton-GE, you are using Wine-GE nowprobable-pink•2y ago
I've tried Proton experimental, GE, and Wine-GE
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
I guess you used proton at some point?
probable-pink•2y ago
Yeah that explains the pfx in the log
But unfortunately doesn't explain why the game hasn't saved with any of the Wine versions
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
can you try with
Proton-GE instead of Proton experimental?probable-pink•2y ago
Yeah I'll do that and make sure I have the latest
Same result, trying to save just closes the menu and doesn't give the save completion pop up
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
I wonder if it's the same issue that happens for Borderlands 3 with wine-ge, sorry I'm out of ideas, in that game changing to proton works
what you could try is some older versions of Wine-GE, you have nothing to lose by trying
probable-pink•2y ago
It's just strange that it worked without issue on the Steam Deck with Proton-GE but not on my desktop through Heroic
Thank you for trying to help though, I'm lost personally
Just for testing, I changed the prefix to ~/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/Yakuza 0 but it still didn't work so I guess it's not an issue with being on a separate drive
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
yeah, I don't know, I've noticed differences between the steam deck and desktop too, even if using the flatpak in both systems (for example for me I can't run XIII in my desktop but I can run it just fine on the deck, and I have no explanation as of why)
probable-pink•2y ago
Tried the Heroic AppImage just to see, also doesn't fix it
I have no clue how to mess with Wine so guess that's the end of the journey for now
Steam version saves fine, just not GOG through Heroic
probable-pink•2y ago
Would anyone know if this could be the issue?
probable-pink•2y ago
OP has the same thing in their log
Could you possibly check your log sometime to compare?
fascinating-indigo•2y ago
the kerberos and ntlm errors are common, they can show up for games that work totally fine
probable-pink•2y ago
That GalaxySteamWrapper authentication error is worrisome though
crude-lavender•2y ago
trust me it's not
verify your game files just to be sure
quickest-silver•2y ago
I am having this exact same issue. The game just does not save.
probable-pink•2y ago
What distro are you on?
There has to be something in common with our setups to have this issue while others report nothing wrong
quickest-silver•2y ago
I'm on a steamdeck. I'm fairly new to it, and this is my first heroic game.
Trying a full game reinstall
probable-pink•2y ago
I'm sorry this is your first experience with Heroic, it usually goes much better
That's 2 Steam Decks and 1 Fedora with the issue
I can try the game on my Steam Deck to see if it comes up again
Installing through Heroic on mine right now with the default locations and latest Wine
quickest-silver•2y ago
I tried everything I could think of. It just refuses to save.
Very frustrating.
@Sock! did you have the same issue?
probable-pink•2y ago
Unfortunately
Haven't tried it on my Steam Deck yet
Doesn't work on my Steam Deck through Heroic either, unfortunately
rare-sapphire•2y ago
(Steam Deck 256Gb 4gb vram tweak) Encountered this issue myself today with multiple games. Here's my log file for Yakuza 0 (pastebin.com/HnRZqCev) and The Alto Collection (pastebin.com/TGhqeNjm)
I also tried the latest version of Wine GE and Proton GE
So I fixed that other game by giving heroic all files peermissions but Yakuza 0 still won't work so ima probs refund it and get it on steam
probable-pink•2y ago
I haven't found a way to get it working with Heroic, but using the files downloaded through Heroic on Bottles works
crude-lavender•2y ago
Strangely I can reproduce this issue on the Deck.
but works fine on the PC
crude-lavender•2y ago
crude-lavender•2y ago
this could be a bug with GalaxySteamWrapper
false alarm
enable ESYNC FSYNC and Gamemode
then it'll work
hangs on exit though, but it's unrelated
metropolitan-bronze•2y ago
This is actually an issue i've reported on Proton tracker a long time ago.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/492#issuecomment-671077446
Which they ended up doing this as a solution.

crude-lavender•2y ago
why ESYNC and FSYNC aren't default
metropolitan-bronze•2y ago
So disabling fsync is the solution here
It will save the game and not hang on exit also
crude-lavender•2y ago
so ESYNC only?
metropolitan-bronze•2y ago
Yes
Normally Fsync and Esync are default on Steam Proton, if Fsync doesn't exist games works with Esync. And there are some app workarounds like above.
When you run the game without esync and fsync , symptoms are the same as running it with Fsync. Saving game feature doesn't work, game hangs when quitting from the game, no hangs observed at one hour and longer gameplay session ( since game doesn't save in this condition , we can call this basically unplayable )

probable-pink•2y ago
Of course the solution is something incredibly simple, one checkbox and it works
