--- Comment #31 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2011-12-17 04:38:15 CST --- I can confirm the bug persists with Wine-1.3.35 so reopening. I tested with the GOG.com version of Baldur's Gate II. Can be reproduced with the demo too (link added to url).
Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo: 1. Install the demo as usual then launch the game by BGMain.exe 2. In the main menu choose Single Player, then New game. You need to generate your in-game character. 3. When character generation is complete the game starts with an intro (couldn't find a way to skip the intro sequence). When the intro ends you're supposed to talk to a NPC by choosing sentences from the available conversations. 4. When the conversation ends the game performs an autosave: according to my testing this always succeeds the very first time I start the game. When autosaving is finished perform a manual save by clicking on the disk icon on the left: select an available save slot and enter a name then click on Save: you will be greeted with the error message, saying 'Save game failed, do you wish to quit?'
I think this bug has close resemblance to bug #18101: when I installed BG 2 on an external usb hdd, the game saved the game correctly all the time (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18101#c9).
