Save Issue

In "a new beginning" and in "Deponia", which are both from the same company
Daedalic Entertainment, you can save in the game, but the result is not visible
and if you restart the game it seemed not to be saved at all (no option to
load). (see screenshot). However you can click continue which will continue
from where you left. Wierd bug. I haven't really an test debug output which
points to something...unless you guys can give me a parameter which i can use
in this case. More then one people are having the same issue, in fact, the
screenshot is from a friend of mine who runs into the same issue.

What happens if you click a box where the save games are supposed to be? Will
it load?

You could attach a log like seen in http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

You can click save and it saves, but when you click load after saving, its not
visable, see screenshot attached. You can check it yourself if you want, demo
link is there.

I can't reproduce the problem with Deponia demo (German version), still
downloading the other demo to try.
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Deponia-Demo_54252295.html#sp=deponia;N=0;pos=1

Preview images for saved games are visible and I am able to load a saved game.
Tested with Wine 1.5.8 and 1.5.10

@Paul: have you actually clicked on the <Save> button on the right after you
selected a save slot?

Fedora 17 x86
Nvidia 250 / driver 304.32

Yes, but after quiting the game and then restarting it, load a game is greyed
out, no option for it. So it did not saved somehow.

The funny thing about the "in the beginning" is that when i click continue, it
starts where I left.

No problem here with the other demo either (A New beginning).
Saved games are located in c:/users/user_name/Local Settings/Application
Data/Daedalic Entertainment/A New Beginning Demo/Savegames.
The directory contains 3 files: bookmark00.dat, bookmark01.dat, savegame00.dat

Anything suspicious in the terminal?

I can also confirm this for Deponia (german retail version).

wine version 1.4.1

The log of Deponia is acutally giving a hint, maybe this can help:

.wine/drive_c/users/user_name/Lokale Einstellungen/Anwendungsdaten/Daedalic
Entertainment/Deponia/messages.log

20:12:42: Warning: Could not create png-file \tmp\vtp_savepic9.png
20:12:42: Warning: SaveGame: Saving snapshot failed

The bookmarks seem to also work for me, I guess this is just because they are
not trying to create a thumbnail.

I checked the folder where the saved game should be and it appears to be there
but the savegame00.dat is not there. Check the screenshot below:

I actually found a solution to get the game to save.
All I did was creating a "tmp" folder in the root folder of the defined
harddisk drive.

I have a windows drive "D" defined in wine at path /mnt/data/wine, so when
creating an empty "tmp" folder "/mnt/data/wine/tmp" the game seems to use it
and it is now running flawless (Deponia, dont know for A new beginning).

Game is native for Mac now, so you may close ticket.

Tested this under linux with the GOG.com version of the game and it does save.
Since a MAC version of the game is available, would this need to be fixed or
could it be closed as 'won't fix'?

Yes, you can close it because of the native Mac version.

Yes, it can be closed because of the native Mac version which already came out.

If there is no longer interest in testing in OSX the correct resolution is to
resolve as abandoned.

Other people have OSX as well...regardless, I can't reproduce this in 1.4 using
the demo, and no one else could either, so I think WORKSFORME is the
appropriate resolution.
