  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Just Cause 3
  • Steam AppID of the game: 225540

System Information

Symptoms

The game starts and works fine. But the progress of the game is not saved. How to reproduce:

  1. Install the game
  2. Start playing before the first save
  3. Quit the game.
  4. Start the game again
  5. The menu of the game will only “start a new game” but there is no “continue” item.

Apparently the game saves some files in:
$HOME/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/225540/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents /Square Enix/Just Cause 3/Saves/76561198035641064/
File creation dates and access times change after the game starts. But file uploads probably don't happen.
