Did you aim a crossbow at the panda in that screenshot?!

Quoting: GuestI read "Season Pass" and lost interest in the game.

Yeah, it makes me shudder, too. Every time. "Give us more money despite having no idea what you will receive, or even if."
Anyway, I usually "use" it as a cheap way to buy all DLCs at a later point (if I want them).

The style really isn't my cup of tea, but I still applaud every developer doing something more interesting than blunt realism or WoW-mobile-comic-clone art-wise.

Well, all of that together makes a nice reason to play the game again. After I stopped not even a few hours in due to the slow & unskippable combat animations (which afaik can now be sped up).

And I won't even have to switch to Windows for it.

This, pretty much directly after Nighthawks [External Link]?
Okay...

But after that.... *rubs hands*

Great news. More hands on deck!

Quoting: etonbearsI don't know the game in question, but it would be strange if an update to Proton did that.

Proton is an application like any other game on Steam, whereas your game saves are in a Windows disk emulation specific to that game.

I'm not saying its impossible, but it would be a really bad regression for Proton updates to wipe game prefixes, as they contain all game settings and saves...

If you didn't manually save in your initial session, is it possible the game had not reached the first auto
save checkpoint? Some games work that way.

I'm not really sure. To my knowledge, DS3 updates save data as soon as you quit the game (by going back to the main menu), and when you rest at a bonfire - and I definitely did both. But as I said, I'm not entirely sure what could have caused it.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI've just had an update of Steam Play and it wiped my Dark Souls III save...
Thankfully, I had just started so it wasn't a big deal, but now I'm making manual backups when I stop session.
Such a thing really shouldn't happen.

Oh heck, make sure you report that to the github bug tracker [External Link]!

The problem is, I am not 100% sure what happened. I really just ran the game once, played a little and on the next day I started DS3 again, noticed that it was downloading something (a new Proton version, I assume?), reinstalled some first-time startup stuff (DirectX runtime) and when it got to menu, I noticed there was no "continue" button.

Not sure if Proton is to blame here, or the Steam client, or if it was actually a bug in DS3 (there were other reports on save games disappearing on Windows, too)...
Just wish the game would support cloud saves.
