GAME BREAKING BUG: unable to start game on steam deck

[night cargo]

Steamdeck blue screened while playing the game. After rebooting, when I hit the play button I get the following error:

functions/button_callbacks.lua:205: attempt to index field 'SAVED_GAME' [a nil value]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and also deleted the proton files but neither has worked.

I cannot start a new game, so I am unable to play the game.

Error thrown every time I attempt to start game on steam deck

GAME BREAKING BUG: unable to start game on steam deck

[cerulean zinc]

@night cargo - Sorry this has happend I will report this bug now for you

[night cargo]

Thanks @cerulean zinc . I’m looking forward to being able to play the game again, hopefully with my original save

[night cargo]

Any idea when/if we can expect this to be patched? Even just a ballpark date?

[elfin widget]

just from experience, probably no more than one (two) weeks, localthunk cares and works so hard for us 🤎

(will depend on the kind of bug this is ofc)

[night cargo]

Thanks @elfin widget 👍🏻

[cerulean zinc]

@night cargo - yeah as ly has said, thanks @elfin widget

[night cargo]

Hi guys, do you know if this bug has been selected for development?

[cerulean zinc]

Hey @night cargo I just checked and we are still looking into this issue, sorry for the delay

[night cargo]

Hi @cerulean zinc can you tell me when you expect this bug to be fixed? I haven’t been able to play the game I purchased for over 2 weeks now. I can’t say for sure as I don’t have access to the code, but a feature to cancel a run that a save cannot be found for should do the trick here, and should be relatively simple/quick

[elfin widget]

not a solution, just like to mention that you can always ask for a refund if a game’s not working as advertised

[cerulean zinc]

Hey, apologises for this, I check again and the issue is still being looked at by the developers as it appears that it is not a quick fix. I will contact the person it's assigned to next week for an update for you

@night cargo I figured out a temporary solution as I had the same problem(On Windows). If you find where your save data is at and delete the save.jkr file you will be able to continue playing. This will however delete your current run.

Thanks @rocky hollow I’m playing on steam deck but will try your solution
