After some weeks on proton 3.16-4 some games have no access anymore to their save paths or settings files.

Something had to change. It doesn't just "forget". Paths should be either dynamically retrieved or written/retrieved from file(s).

Z:\home\alexander\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Wolcen\ seems to be quite normal however.

You do have the following problem with the 1st game:
14397.978:0024:0025:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

In the 2nd there's this which doesn't look good:
wine: Unhandled exception 0xc000000d in thread 9 at address 0xab317b (thread 0009), starting debugger...
and some others including:
winedbg: Internal crash at 0x7efa3a7e

I think the problem is unrelated to paths =)

hi @byte1024

it's cool that you're trying to help me but in the first game i had winbind installed even with the 32 lib's.

2nd game: this is maybe related to this too, because even if something has changed in the settings menu and the game restarts, the settings will not be saved.

Just so you know I saw this with a different game and only samba-winbind-clients removed the error for me. If you have that installed that one error should go away, but it may or may not do anything (that is be of any use - the game might still be the same with or without it).

Though its possible there are other packages needed too, but the error didn't go away for me until that one.

@byte1024 thx for this tip i try it out
