Campaign progress not saved

Using Arch Linux (64-bit), with version 2.0.4 and all DLC installed, my main campaign progress is not saved properly. I haven't tested the other campaigns yet.


Saving/loading games works without any problems, the home realm is also saved correctly. Every time I restart the game, all maps are locked again and no achievements are available. Basically this means I'm replaying the tutorial every time.


Using the tutorial level, I've tested that I can load a game, complete that level and then the progress will be recorded until I quit the game again (i.e. I can start level 2 correctly).


Some bits that are saved properly are: all the (graphics/audio/etc) settings, whether the intro movie has played the first time, and the help button tutorial in the first level doesn't come back after the first time either.


I have the game installed to a custom directory (on a separate partition; full install path is /mnt/linux-games/war_for_the_overworld -- no spaces). I did make sure my Linux user account has write access to the entire directory and all files (in fact, I installed the game as the same user).


I also tried removing the entire directory and then reinstalling the game from scratch, but that has not solved the problem.


Player.log file of completing the first level (which should save progress): Player.log.save
Player.log file when restarting the game: Player.log.load
Based on file timestamps I can see that my custom save, and the WFTO_Tutorial file were saved when finishing the level. Options.txt is also properly saved. You can download the full GameData directory as a zip from here (link will expire November 7th 2018).

Game Version:
GOG DRM-Free
Platform:

Confirmed that now the patch is deployed on GOG, progress is saved correctly again with 2.0.6f1. Thanks for the assistance!

Dude, we're almost into 2021 and this is still happening. I just got the Ultimate edition and playing a custom campaign, it let's me save but during the game when I look for the saves it says, "there aren't any saves." However, if I go to the main menu and choose to load a game (under custom campaign) they are there. So they just don't show up while you're playing for some reason.

This seems to be an entirely different issue than the one raised in this topic. Specifically your issue seems to be that custom campaigns are not showing up in your load menu whilst in-game.

Can you confirm that you're looking in the right category, the in-game load menu sorts by map type, which may vary depending on what the map maker set for that level. Typically most custom campaign levels will be scenario maps. Meanwhile the load game on the custom campaign menu looks for saves related to those maps afaik.

If you check the above (check each category) and it stills doesn't show up then please feel free to raise your own report.
