Aliens vs Predator 2 save games go missing?

[Gps4l]

I have installed on openSUSE tumbleweed ( rolling release) the game AvP2.

Everything seems to work 100%, can even play online with a server patch, even saving a game seems to work but...
(game send message that it is saving the game)

When I try to load a safe game though the list in game is empty.


I doubt my hardware to be relevant but here is it anyway
ryzen 5, RX 570 16 gig ram.

Any ideas / thoughts on what is happening?

While trying to get more info, I am trying to launch wine from the command line.

What am I doing wrong?

Code: Select all

guus@linux-2ls4:~/.wine/drive_c> ls

ProgramData  Program Files  Program Files (x86)  users  windows

guus@linux-2ls4:~/.wine/drive_c> cd Program Files (x86)

bash: syntaxfout nabij onverwacht symbool '('

guus@linux-2ls4:~/.wine/drive_c> cd Program Files x86

bash: cd: te veel argumenten

Some basic shell knowledge coming...

Files and paths with spaces (or some other special characters) need to be specified with quotes or escaped:

Code: Select all

"Program Files"
Program\ Files\ \(x86\)

Also bash (like most shells) have "tab completion" where you can start typing something, then hit the tab key, and it will either add the rest or show you what matches if there's more than one. I don't know if that explains it well so it would probably be clearer to just try it out, type a P then hit tab a couple times.

Thank you.

I used " " and that worked like a charm. I already knew about tab completion, but that did not seem to work here, I tried. This only added to my confusion.

At one time, because I was sure I had just made a typo, I even copy / pasted the name into the command line, but that did not change anything. lol


I might have to install the debugging tools.

When I had started AvP2 from the command line, and saved the game, and then quit the game, I saw alot of fix me messages, but because the command line only shows the last 50 or so lines, I could not even see the start of AvP2.

Not sure if I should just, change a setting so it will show (remember) more lines, or install the debugging tools ?

Redirect the terminal output to a file

Code: Select all

wine program.exe >> wine-log.txt 2>&1

I don't see anything use full ?

Nor when I save the game, in the log file.

Hope I did it right.
