My bad. Looks like they changed it again starting with the current release after starting this game with save files right within the game's folder.
Yes. Without warning latest Windows version migrates saves from game folder to Windows AppData folder and since the game not written to move saves somewhere else on Linux, as with previous games, the saves on Linux don't get moved to the default .config location in the usual way. :mad:

What a pisser!

Linux users can still play the game natively with old saves if the install Lutris from Flathub (not the usual repositories which don't include the WINE 9 custom executable) and add SotS as a locally installed game. I followed instruction below and worked for me.

(Saves get migrated from save folder in game folder to: /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/users/<username>/AppData)

Your download is not "damaged". Most likely missing execute permission and/or quarantined by Gatekeeper. Both problems are easily fixed in Terminal BUT if you have an Apple Silicon Mac, RPGM games won't be very stable, even if you get them to start.
I'll try testing this later this evening.
"“Game” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin." This is what comes up...

I've fixed execute permission before and done so with this download, that doesn't fix the issue.
I was able to play the games initial release, just not subsequent updates despite always re-downloading.

Hi, sorry to ask again, but What happened to the/a "update only" file download that is normally provided for windows??

I've just tried this game on my M1 MBP (Monterey) and it runs fine after I removed quarantine. Did you check for that ? Gatekeeper is almost blocking everything not from the app store these days.
Also, instead of opening the app you could also try to open the executable that's inside the app (/Contents/MacOS/nwjs) If the execute permission is in place, it should open Terminal and consequently start the game. If it does not, Terminal might give you the reason why it's not.

Learned the hard way that the saves are in the game folder. Deleted previous version before the new version was downloaded and was used to it always being there because it was normally a patch update. RIP my save file. Won't make that mistake again.

Yes, If the saves do not show after an update or download of new version, copy the "save" folder from the previous version to the new update MAIN folder.

So what's the outlook on a patch? I would say the majority of you know what I'm asking here. Is the story malleable enough to make it work? Don't really want to invest the time playing if its not.

What did NLT stand for again?

In case you were curious, this update didn't work for me either, just like the last one. I guess I'm stuck with the originals. :(
Sorry to hear that. Like I said, I test every version on a Potato-MiniPC with Windows without any issues.

A patch wouldn't make sense story wise. And you're right, NLT is not really deserving of the name anymore.
