I think it's something to do with this but no clue what it means
fascinating-indigo•17mo ago
The link tells you how to get logs
plain-purple•17mo ago
What do you have set as your sync path?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
trying to do it now 🙂 sorry about this
errr ill try check it does say cloud sync disabled
That's what it says
Sorry don't have discord on deck
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Its not letting me send the log file
plain-purple•17mo ago
It’s a flatpak permissions thing. Drop the log to the desktop or paste it in, and it should upload as text
Or upload to pastebin
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
it aint lettign me when i copy thne paste in paste bin just does the file path
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago

harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
try
that
plain-purple•17mo ago
I meant to paste the contents, sorry. I can view the pastebin log. it looks like it's not storing the save path. delete the path and rescan it
it's also consistent with the error that says it expected a string but got nothing
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i was trying this i think
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i was selecting this then doing the retry thing
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
when i select sync it was saying sync disabled skipping
i thought it was some error with the connection to epic games 😦 as when i first started the tiny tinas up it asked for authentication i didnt relise then quit the game and saw the pop up to allow selected the allow then when i opened the game again it was doign the error
going online i find the same kinda error witht the settings but it just says to delete some files but thats on windows and i got no clue where they are so i tried to delete some but nothing working 😦

Anyone able to help with this really don't want buy the game again on steam
plain-purple•17mo ago
Can you post an updated log?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Ofcourse I tried a few things but nothing fixed so if it looks wrong it's cause of that

"savesPath": "/home/deck/Documents",This is incomplete
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
That was my attempt to fix it i found online someone saying give it a new save path as the saves are the issue they are saying
how do i correct this?
plain-purple•17mo ago
You need the full path or else Heroic will download the saves into a folder that is not utilized by the game
And I cannot remember if the apostrophe is the issue here. It does vaguely sound familiar though

harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
only issue is i dont have the game on my computer
I still think this is an issue with epic games authentication
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
does this folder exist?
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Tiny Tinas Wonderlands/drive_c/users/deck/Documents\My Games\Tiny Tina's Wonderlands\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\ ?harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
let me see
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
sorry, wrong one there, check
/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Tiny Tinas Wonderlads/drive_c/users/deck/Documents\My Games\Tiny Tina's Wonderlands\Saved\SaveGames\foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
according to https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tiny_Tina%27s_Wonderlands#Save_game_data_location that's the folder where the saves are located
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
from the error it seems like that folder doesn't exist, if that's the case you can manually create it
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
This does exist
So does this
One thing i have seen is like its got Multiple levels of this
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
one thing that I know happens for Borderlands 3 is that you need Proton-GE instead of Wine-GE for game saves to work, maybe it's the same for tiny tina?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
It looks like there are save profiles everywhere
plain-purple•17mo ago
I don’t remember if this was the case but it could’ve been a contributor. I also don’t know if the apostrophe issue was fixed as it’s been quite a while since I needed to look into it
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i dont see any apostrophe in the file path
so in my file path is going to the savegames/c(bunch of letters) but in that file i found the saves and a folder called my games then tiny tina then save gaved games then that c folder then a single profile sav could this be the issue?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
just to be sure, I think we are talking about multiple issues at the same time
- if you click the
Download button in the Cloud Saves section, what's the result?
- if you put the save files in /home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Tiny Tinas Wonderlads/drive_c/users/deck/Documents\My Games\Tiny Tina's Wonderlands\Saved\SaveGames\ do you see them in the game?
- if you play something and try to save, does saving work?
to understand what's working and what's not
share the path you see, I don't understand the whole thing with this descriptionharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
sorry how can i copy this file path ( im new to deck and linux)
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
a screenshot would be enough, or you need to install discord on the steamdeck
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok so first i can launch the game but at singing in it asks me to agree to term then the pop up starts. i can keep saying and get into the game once in the game t runs fine no pop up but i do get a pop up at the left saying you dont own this gasme etc etc ( i do own it)
i can save and close it and the character comes up fine when relaunching but makes me go through the steps of settings and agreeing etc and the pop up keeps showing
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Says this for the sync download
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
thats the weird file path
with the single profile in it
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
yes, this is not right
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
yes should i try redirect it to here?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
looks like the
profile.sav file should be in the first c790... folderharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
there is one in there
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
it's probably the current save after you played
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok so what do i do now 😦
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I'd try replacing the file
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
so do this?
just delete it all?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
that's what I would try, you can copy that somewhere just in case if you are not sure about deleting
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
no happy to delete
ok let me try give me a few mins
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
(I don't have the game and I don't know how it got messed up like that, I'm just sharing what I would try)
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
do i just delete the the c490823482-4823-) folder thing
and should i try sync first before starting game or just start he game
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I have a suspicion that you have
c7..../My Games/Tiny Tina..../c7... already in the cloud, I feel it will recreate those folders when you do the cloud sync
on thing, while you try things, disable the auto save sync for the game
you don't want to mess up your cloud saves trying stuff
try only downloading syncs manually so you have control on what's happening
once things are working you can turn that back onharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok how do i disasble cloud sync
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
In this screen, from the last log it looks like you have the autosave sync check turned on
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
so untick the auto sync saves?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
that combined with the wrong
/home/deck/Documents as the savePath config could have messed up things pushing extra folders to the cloud
yesharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok i have done this
looks like this now
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
do try run the game now?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
did you put that path there? or was it added automatically?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
automatrically
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
because it's weird that the
c7.... is part of the pathharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
I can promise i never did ahah ( not smart enough)
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
does the path ends there? with the c7... folder? or is there more in that field? I can't see the rest of the path
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ends there
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I mean at some point you changed it to
"/home/deck/Documents" so somehow it got changed back hahaharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I don't have the game so I don't know what's the right one there, I'd try with and without that
c7.... folder in that configharsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i changed it there yeah after that i then hit the slick to retry thing and it rerouted there
ok let me try
game now#
and try without after
launching the game
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I still don't know why it tells you you don't own the game (what I'm trying to figure out is how to get the saves in the right place)
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
says sync saves are disabled
Well when i first opened it the game came up with please go tot he web broowser and authenticate using the game i didnt know how otr get out the game ( u needed to bind alt tab) so i quit the gasme to see the browser so selected allow to authenticate and then i opened the game again the authenticate didnt show so it jus tasked for the agree to terms
then the settings issue came up
which is why i think its cause the epic games isnt technically synced to this which is why im getting this error
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
cause i have played the game before some time ago on my pc when it first launched but deleted it ages ago
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I'd try with Proton-GE instead of Wine-GE, looks like the borderlands 3 error
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
so it should show my character but always just says pending
ok how ot od this?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
in heroic, go to Wine Manager > Proton-GE > install the latest
then in the game settings in heroic, in the Wine tab select Proton-GE as the wine version
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i see it
ok let me install the latest
trying it now. Btw i do appreciate your time dealing with me and this game issue if theres a way to repay you please let me know 😉
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
thanks, no need to
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
i think it worked!
trying a restart again to confirm
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
great! not sure why some borderlands games have that issue with the saves
plain-purple•17mo ago
I’ll add it to the list of exceptions
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
cause they like to copy and paste ive been playing borderlands since the release of the first game
miss the old borderlands games and community now onl;y issue is i dont have any of my characters from pc should i try the cloud sync now?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
weird thing is that I have the other Tiny Tina's game and I didn't see that error back then when I tested it with Wine-GE, maybe it's only for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Borderlands 3, who knows haha
yes, now we can try to fix the cloud saves
click the download button in the cloud saves tab in the settings
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Do I tick the box first?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
don't enable auto sync yet
plain-purple•17mo ago
Which one is actually valid?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok
plain-purple•17mo ago
Because your local save is whatever you just ran
And your cloud save is what was last uploaded
Although it is so close in time that you have already overwritten what’s on the cloud
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
yes i mean i dont know i have saves on the game on my pc so thought they would be i nthe cloud
plain-purple•17mo ago
Right now, make a backup of your PC save
Just in case
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
happy to lose it and start fresh
never got to play much on the game as was going into new job so had to stop gaming
plain-purple•17mo ago
If it’s more than 2 months ago, you have forgotten everything of where you were hahah
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
when the game released
so defo longer
do remember the thing so happy to stasrt fresh
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
then you can turn on autosync saves if you want to upload what you play now to the cloud to keep that for the future, or you can keep that disabled if you don't need to save things in the cloud
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
ok ill maybe just keep it off then 🙂
saves the issues
let me try play and see if i the issue
Working perfectly thank you very much
one last question can i play this in game mode via steam?
plain-purple•17mo ago
yes
add it to Steam via Heroic's menus
the vertical ... menu
and you can also set this to be automatic in the Heroic global settings
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Thank you very much guys you are all amazing 🙂
i hope for good fortune in the future for you both 🙂
plain-purple•17mo ago
enjoy your game!
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Sadly come across further issues in the game after completing the first map I cannot continue
^^
I believe it is an issue with sound files I'm getting stuck on the overworld map after the first map
It won't continue and play the next movie
plain-purple•17mo ago
Try enabling prefer system libraries
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
Where to find this?
plain-purple•17mo ago
Game settings in heroic, Other
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
hmmm I think that option does not show up for proton-ge (I'm not sure what's the reason though)
plain-purple•17mo ago
Wait, does this show up with Proton?
Yeah… might be a wine specific setting
Like how Steam runtime is for Proton
Put up a log after it freezes again
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
one thing that could work is using an older version of Proton-GE, like Proton-GE-Proton8-10, I think the problem playing videos started in something like proton 8-13/14
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
It's not freezing its like not letting me continue just gets me stuck as it need to play next movie thing but fails
So I just can walk about no pause nothing
I'm using the latest version of proton

Steam Community :: Guide :: Fix Stuck On Overworld Map Soft Lock Bug
Some people have encountered a bug in Wonderlands where they become trapped on the Overworld map after the tutorial area, including myself. After seeing someone activate a cutscene during their game,
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
This is the only thing I can find online about it but don't know how I feel downloading some random thing you think it will fix the issue?
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
try setting an older version of Proton-GE-Proton, you can install older versions with the wine manager section
try 8-10
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
I tried the version before and the game wouldn't then open
Did I need to do something to make that work right?
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
This didn't work
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
There should be a person in this grass but because the next movie hasn't worked It isn't spawning him
foreign-sapphire•17mo ago
I'm not sure what to try, I tried the other Tiny Tina's game (that's the one I own) and it doesn't even have the issue with the saves, maybe someone else has this game and made it work but I'm not sure what to suggest
harsh-harlequinOP•17mo ago
One for your notes managed to sort it only way was to join someone else's game who is on the exact same mission at the exact same part and it then continued my character on with it!
So sorted now! Sorry
