Answer to obvious follow up question: I have 61GB free on the relevant filesystem

Hello @zakk4223, warn:debugstr:OutputDebugStringA "AutoSaveCore failed\n" in your log looks similar to what we've seen with Castlevania (#5177). The two games might be using the same subcomponent.

That thread led me to trying some Proton-GE versions: it does not occur on Proton-6.20-GE-1 and above. Unsure if that is due to custom GE patches or upstream changes.

There's also another bug on all proton versions (official and GE) where the music from the 'game selection' menu never stops even after you choose a game and start it

Latest Proton Experimental bleeding edge seems to fix the audio track issue

One bit of extra info: if you use proton-ge, which disabled the 'invalid' file name check that triggers this error, the save file is written
into the directory: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1638330/pfx/drive_c/users/streamuser/AppData/Roaming/?Steam_AppInstallDirName?/savedata/

The Contra arcade collection has the same issue as this and Castlevania as well, though since the error message is in Japanese, most people missed it.

At least Darius Collection is still playable, though you cant change any settings.

EDIT: I also believe there is a bug in the music. Playing Darius Gaiden for a couple of levels, it never switches from the stage 1 music.

FYI - the save game bug appears to be fixed. The only problem that still exists is the inability to get multi monitors to work.

FYI - dual monitor support now works correctly. This entry should be converted to a whitelist request.

Hello @SausageDog, these look like a couple lines of interest from your Proton log:

fixme:nls:init_locale Failed to set LC_CTYPE to "ja_JP.UTF-8", is the locale supported?
fixme:nls:init_locale Failed to set LC_MESSAGES to "ja_JP.UTF-8", is the locale supported?

This is more likely a SteamOS issue than a Proton issue, and may be resolved with SteamOS 3.5. (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/794#issuecomment-1572493540 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/794#issuecomment-1723544439)

The issue is not resolved on SteamOS 3.5. Switching to Proton 7 works, so it seems to be a regression in Proton. Super Robot Wars 30 seems to be affected by the same bug - not launching until English is set in properties

This game has issues with full screen mode for me:

  • On proton 6.3 game never starts in full screen and it has to be toggled on every run.

  • On proton 7.0 to 9.0 game starts with only top left quarter being rendered to:

Toggling full screen off and on makes it render properly.

  • On proton 10.0 and experimental running in full screen always results in game being shifted down a bit:

Additionally, on proton experimental specifically toggling full screen mode on/off breaks game input, forcing you to restart it.

A workaround I've found for proton 10.0/experimental is putting the game into windowed mode and using KDE Plasma's Window Rules to make it full screen. Additionally, the problem does not happen when using Wayland mode in proton-cachyos (but that breaks steam input, so not an option for controller users).
