Symptoms

The game launches properly, but it fails to save any savegame progress or settings upon restarting.

Even after applying the No-GFWL (Games for Windows Live) executable patch to bypass GFWL dependencies, Proton's compatdata sandbox prevents the modified executable from writing/creating the save file directory inside drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Disney Interactive Studios/PURE/SaveData/.

Tested across two different hardware setups (Intel HD Graphics and NVIDIA GTX 1650), reproducing the exact same save directory permission block in both cases.

Repro Steps

1. Launch PURE via Steam Play (Proton).
2. Complete the initial tutorial or change any audio/video settings.
3. Exit the game and relaunch.
4. The game prompts to create a new save again, losing all previously saved data.
