When I try to save the game progress nothing happens.

I start the game from a bash terminal so I can see the following lines when I press enter to save:

searchSaveData Time: 0
002a:fixme:thread:RtlCreateUserThread stack_commit != 0 is unimplemented

That's the only log with DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=debug

I do not think it's dxvk issue. More likely ntfs-with-wine issue. Game on NTFS drive? I have it on ext4 drive and it saves progress fine.

CChazyTheBest 2019-10-03 github

Yes I have the game on a NTFS partition. I'm gonna try mv/cp to a ext4 partition. Thanks.

CChazyTheBest 2019-10-03 github

I just tried again from a ext4 partition and that doesn't seem to be the problem as I'm getting the exact same result. Maybe I'm missing some package.

I should probably close this since you confirmed it's not a dxvk issue.

Note that wine prefix also must be on ext4 partition (and better initially created on it).

CChazyTheBest 2019-10-03 github

Yes, the wine prefix is in the wineuser home dir and it's ext4. If this is really a filesystem problem, then it must be one hell of a specific problem because every other game I have on the NTFS partition work perfectly.

Edit: I'm gonna try copying a save game file from the Windows partition and see if I can load it and then try saving new progress to it.

Edit2: It says the file is corrupted, maybe it's because I copied it from NTFS over to EXT4?

Edit3: It sure isn't a permissions/fs problem, because it can delete files that i manually put in the folder. Can you confirm if you get the fixme line i mentioned above, the ones referring to RtlCreateUserThread?

Do have to ask "just in case", is this the legit bought version of the game? Otherwise the piracy group that released it is known to have save issues (only under wine) for pretty much every newer games they put out for nearly a year now. Not that I've tried, I already played this game on PS3 long ago.
Edit: But yeah, this is really not the place to even discuss this anyway, should be closed. Definitely nothing to do with dxvk.

Either way, this is not a DXVK issue.

@ionenwks It's not the legit version. I wanted to try it first and make sure it works fine in Linux before getting it in steam. I didn't know cracked versions had problems saving only in wine? I tried the same game folder in Windows and it saves perfectly fine. I enjoyed the first hour so I guess I'll just buy it and hope the cracked version was really the problem.

@K0bin Yes, I'll close it now. Sorry.

@ChazyTheBest That explains it then, and it's really just that particular group, not a widespread problem. I wasn't sure if that problem was still around, but this is too much to be a coincidence so I guess it is. I've read they use something weird to obfuscate their binaries which Wine can't fully work with, while it is a Wine bug I don't think it's something anyone is in a hurry to fix since no software "normally" do this.
