"Unable to save game" message

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Hello! I've replaced the last release's binary to the current commit's one, and have "Unable to save game" message when try to save at existing or empty slot. No save :(
Also, at the last release I get sometimes the voices of NPCs at the high speed.
Arch Linux, Pipewire. F2 version from GOG.

The unable to save error from the GOG edition appears to be caused by incompetent packaging. The SAVEGAMES folder is actually a symlink into the home directory of whoever packaged it. Deleting this symlink and creating the directory fixes it.

incompetent packaging

They also think Ubuntu 18.04 is still current - and that linking binaries against a specific version of a system file instead of the abstract link is fine. Practically everything needs manual work - and those that don't are Unity and thus abysmally slow.
