Summary: Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal fails to save game because the file default.tot exists in the game temp directory. Product: Wine Version: 0.9.59. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: christian.apolloni@gmail.com
Baldur's Gate 2 with the installed expansion Throne of Bhaal fails to save games unless the user manually removes the file /temp/default.tot in the game directory. It's not wine crashing: the game displays an error message with the following text:
Save game failed, do you wish to quit?
Yes No
Removing the default.tot file before attemping to save makes it work, but the files gets recreated when the game runs so it has to be removed every time you want to save, which is pretty annoying.
From the App DB's comments and a quick google search it seems many others are
having the same problem.
It's a lot of time that I don't use wine but I remember in the past it was saving correctly whithout the need to manually delete anything.
