Unity Completed Love of Magic [B2 v1.2.6] [Droid Productions]

[dreamchaser]

I have a weird problem with Book 1 on Linux:
I have started a NewGame+ run (after having completed the game a few years back), and I notice that any settings that aren't save game specific get forgotten each time I restart the game:
- Fullscreen and Poker Hint toggles
- selected card back and wallpaper
- all Achievements, card back and wallpaper unlocks :-(

Anything save game specific works fine, but the game forgetting achievements and unlocks is really dispiriting. I have tried this with both the Steam Version and with it downloaded from here (version 1.6.11f) - identical behavior. I don't remember any such problems when I played the game a few years back.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something you'd like from me to be able to help narrow the problem down?

That's a weird one.

Might be caused by saving/loading filenames being different for Book 1 / NG+ builds, I'll have a look.

As Dorid says its your very old save game that maybe doing it to you.

If I was you I would start over with the book 1 game through book 3 then start a new book 1 NG+ game and you should be fine.
I have had no problems with my saves and have went though 12 NG+ games on this playthrough.
I am also on Windows 11 and that may have something to do with my game running as it should.
I have never used Linux so have no idea if its the OP system doing it or what.

I really don't think it depends on whether or not I do a new play through. I mean, it happens if I start the game up, enable full screen, close it again and restart: The fullscreen toggle is disabled again. But no old save game was ever loaded! If that works for others, I think it's much likelier that the Linux version is the culprit. So using Windows emulation via Steam should be a simple workaround. I'd just have to figure out how to get my save games in there (I assume it would not automatically find them in that case). Because I absolutely don't want to replay all three books before starting a NewGame+ run!

But before any workarounds, maybe I can be helpful in getting the bug fixed, by supplying information, or by testing a fix? Always possible that it's something weird on my system instead, but saving and loading save files works fine. It's just game wide information that resets...

It sounds like the computer has some kind of protection on the folder or files in the folder that is not allowing you to change it.
I don't know where the saves are keep in Linux but you may need to delete all of them and start from scratch.

Unless Droid Productions has found a problem in the way Linux does it then it sounds like your computer is not allow the file to be changed.
Like I said I have had no problem at all about this but I am on Windows 11 and it works just fine for me.
