[0.1.1] Choose Next Scenario Not Allowing Selection

[true shoal]

After earning operator badge the screen "Choose Next Scenario" comes up with the choices "Regular" or "Hard" Clicking on either choice had no effect. I need to force quit the game to continue.

Using Steam on Linux (Ubuntu)

This playthrough also did not save. At the end of the session I got something like "Cannot save. Is there enough storage space?" when there was definitely enough space. Also I was able to find no back-up in the Steam cloud for that, even though I had played for 5 hours at that point with several automatic back-ups showing on screen.

Thanks for reporting this issue 🙂
I didn't have any issues.

If you do the following:

1. Start the game
2. From main menu click on play
3. Show Folder
4. Go to the shapez 2 folder.
   What is in there?
   Also did you try to make any blueprints and did they save?
   Note the following screen, the locked ones are all selectable (Regular, hard etc)
   Can you try to select any of the locked ones, start the save, and manually save and give me another player log file?

Does a save show as available to load from the play menu?

Also did you try to make any blueprints and did they save? - I did not make any blueprints
Note the following screen, the locked ones are all selectable (Regular, hard etc)
Can you try to select any of the locked ones, start the save, and manually save and give me another player log file? Unfortunately, after I initial played the game, I was unable to replicate the error, so not what I see at that screen is below

[true shoal]

Yes

Here is my current player log file

[eternal barn]

I will do some testing. Maybe its because it was the first time you played the game ever, so there was missing information in the folder with all the save files etc.

[true shoal]

I think you are correct

The playthrough I am doing now is not having problems with autosaves and save

[eternal barn]

That's good, sucks that you lost 5 hours though.

[true shoal]

It was strange, but at least I kept my operator badge 😄

Thank you for looking into it

[eternal barn]

You are welcome. Thanks for reporting it. Hopefully I will be able to figure out the cause so other new players on linux don't have the same issue.

[sharp quiver]

Same thing happened to me, Ubuntu Linux lost 4 hours of progress and couldnt save due to "not enough disc space"

[true shoal]

It may be relevant that this was the SAME computer, different user. @sharp quiver was able to save blueprints.

[eternal barn]

Good to know 😉

Sorry I haven't got back to you for a bit. Had a very busy week.

Can you do the following for me?

1. From the main menu select play
2. Select Show folder
3. For the path at the top of the screen which is something like /var/home/anthonya/.config/unity3d/tobspr Games/shapez 2/savegames/ remove savegames and press enter.
4. Right click on the savegames folder and choose properties
5. Select Permissions

Does it look anything like this:

Thanks for your patience - For me it looks like this:

What other options do you have other than "Create and Delete FIles"?

[true shoal]

"List Files Only" & "Access Files"

[eternal barn]

So read only type options.
Are you only using that account when playing the game?

What's the exact version of linux that you are using? i.e. where would I download it from?

[true shoal]

Ubuntu 25.10 https://releases.ubuntu.com/questing/

[eternal barn]

When I get some time, I will install it and see what happens.

[eternal barn]

I have a new computer arriving next week. I will install it onto that.
Could cause problems with dual booting if I do it to my existing systems.

[true shoal]

I always had problems with dual booting Windows. Good luck!

[eternal barn]

Websearches indicated that Windows needs to always be installed first and then Linux second.
The only issue I have had is not easily being able to change which OS was booted by default in the menu.

[true shoal]

I always found that grub works well for this. I believe it has tools for selecting which to boot. GNU GRUB - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) https://share.google/mTOMugsbNlHNYP4Gn

[eternal barn]

I ended up googling it and figured out how to have windows be the one to boot first for my main computer, I just wish it had been configurable from within the menu itself instead of having to edit a text file.

[true shoal]

Linux has a lot of that 😄

[eternal barn]

My first install of linux I completely ruined with sudoing this install and sudoing that install...

[eternal barn]

It's been nearly a month 🙁
I have a new computer that I can put that onto 🙂

[true shoal]

Hooray!

[eternal barn]

Looks like its working ok for me on first playing it.
It autosaved ok within 5 minutes.

(unrelated) Ubuntu is better looking than bazzite.

[true shoal]

Okay, please try getting out/back in after playing. It's looking like it can't be replicated.

[eternal barn]

Exiting and going back in you mean?
I did that a few times.

[true shoal]

Alright, thank you for your diligence. I guess it was an anomaly.

[eternal barn]

You are welcome 🙂
