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.

Also @liamdawe it would be good if you could add sources to the articles where you got some information from. It's the proper journalism thing to do ;)

Any game that can get grown ups into endless laughter about sexual innuendos is suitable for 6 and 9 year olds.

That's a pity, I was hoping there might be a launch day sale. Oh well, congrats to the developer, but I'll stick with Dwarf Fortress. I can't justify paying £25 on a slimmed down version of a game I can play for free.

Is Dwarf Fortress playable by now or does it still require you to memorize keyboard shortcuts like you would a foreign language?
I did that once, and DF was great back then, but nowadays I have 0 desire to play a game like that without proper mouse support.

That's so meta!
