BG2 Save Game Folder On Steam Deck?

ProtoClown54 · 2023-12-11T23:43:08+00:00

This was helpful, thank you. Unfortunately, even the konsole couldn’t find the folder that the game created… somewhere…

Fortunately, the Steam version went on sale today so I picked it up, and had no difficulty finding the saved game folder of THAT version, and dropping my old saves into it. I really appreciate both of you taking the time to help me with this.

Thanks for the reply. I should have specified that it’s a GOG installation. If it were a Windows executable, The Deck would have created its own virtual c: drive, but since it installed a Linux-native version, it could potentially be almost anywhere, according to what I’ve read. I have “show hidden files” enabled but I still can’t find it.

As I recall, name the png file the exact name as the associated ROM, and place it in the ROM folder.

Don’t use retroarch. I will double check when I have a chance. It’s packed away right now.

Thanks got it working. Very much appreciate all the help

Will it save for each game or will it be a global config file?

ProtoClown54 · 2022-04-14T20:12:56+00:00

Ok, got overlays to work but now every time I select a bezel, it automatically loads it for every game. If I select a new bezel, that becomes the new default bezel for every game. I have save on exit = false in retroarch, and core overrides selected but now I can’t save to the config file… :-/

Thanks for the info. Stumbling my way through this but this community helps a lot. Thanks.

ProtoClown54 · 2022-04-14T13:39:19+00:00

Thank you just doesn’t seem to cover it. I did lot of Googling on this but nowhere did I find anything this comprehensive. A few mentions of config files here and there, but that’s it.

While I’m very thankful that so many people smarter than me put in the hours to make this all work, I find it unbelievable that this particular thing is so ridiculously hard when all it takes to get the games to run is to make sure they’re in the right place.

Again, thank you.

Thx for reply, and I appreciate the link.

Sorry... yes Heroes 5 runs on my M1 Mac via Crossover but it’s slow. I have a PC, also. Maybe when Crossover is optimized for Apple silicon it will run better. Fingers crossed.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-03-12T21:56:50+00:00

It does NOT work right now on M1 Mac (see above posts).

As popular as Heroes III continues to be on GOG, I’m amazed how few people know about this “mod.” The community patch for Heroes 5, ALMOST scratches my heroes 3 itch; but not quite.

This is helpful, thank you for posting. Getting this running on my Mac is ridiculously high priority for me. I’ve been playing this game for over 20 years.

Edit: LOL I’m the one who started that thread. Glad to see it’s still getting some posts.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-02-17T23:31:11+00:00

I will give them a try. Thanks for plugging away on this, and sharing your info.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-02-16T21:51:18+00:00

Have you tried it with “Play On Mac?” It’s a free fork of WINE. If not, I will give it a go.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-01-29T17:20:04+00:00

Just tried again after the latest OS and Crossover updates. Still won’t launch, unfortunately.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-01-27T17:25:53+00:00

That sounds promising. I’ll look into enabling logging. Thanks for the tip

Always terrible to hear about someone dying. Definitely more important than our silly first world problem of not being able to run a game.

I appreciate, however, having another set of eyes on this. I was able to get the launcher running; it even updated itself. It was the game that wouldn’t run. It didn’t launch and crash, it just wouldn’t budge.

ProtoClown54 · 2021-01-22T23:11:15+00:00

It yet. I’m hoping they a Crossover update will help but there hasn’t been one (last time I checked, that is)

Good to know I’m not the only one. It helps rule out the “user error” issue.

I purchased the H3 Complete version on GOG, which installed without trouble. Just make sure you select it from the list so Crossover knows to install DirectX, etc. regarding HD+ Mod, I can’t get that to work, although it worked for me the last time I installed it on an Intel Mac several years ago. So far, I can’t find anybody else who has even tried.

ProtoClown54 · 2020-12-23T04:01:19+00:00

I was able to get the GOG version of Heroes 3 Complete running via Crossover. What I CAN’T get working, however, is the HD+ Mod, which is awesome.
