Hello! I am using bazzite (which is basically fedora), and I'm using the latest silksong patch from steam. I was trying to set up Godhome mod and a bunch of other mods, I got the mods themselves working (as far as im aware) mostly manually, however, while trying to import the pre-packaged 100% save file, I noticed that:
a) The userdat file would not work, either set to be user3.dat or user4.dat. It would stay in my saves folder but the save file would not appear in the game itself, and even creating a new save file over that slot would not overwrite it (as deleting the file after, then relaunching the game would still have that brand new empty file, despite the file not being there on my computer).
b) Going off of the end of point (a), there seem to be no user#.dat files present in the folder (/.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/190532046/) AT ALL. Even my 100% file that I just finished earlier today does not seem to have a proper user1.dat file, just three user1.dat.bak files.
That, along with the fact that a new user3.dat did not seem to be made makes me assume that the true save file location moved, but I searched my pc and could not find my original 100% user1.dat file (which still functions perfectly ingame, right after the ending), I could also not find any issue like this on the internet, so I'm asking here now. I could probably do without adding the save, just using cheats to create a disposable 100% file, but I wanted to ask now that I do not know where my actual user1.dat file dissapeared to (if something worse were to happen to my files, I want a backup). And yes, restarting my pc did not seem to make any difference, and I have been restarting silksong each time I make any edit. It's entirely possible this problem isn't connected to mods at all and I should move elsewhere but I'm assuming it is somehow.
#Save files act normal, but user#.dat files missing, and new user#.dat files do not seem to work

So, it's worth noting that the God Home mod disables your save files from working
Although afaik the files themselves should still be there
So you have any other sub-directories in /.config/unity3d/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/?

Aside from “Restore_Points1” and “Restore_Points3” (which I think is from when I accidentally made a save in the third slot a while ago and quickly deleted it ingame) in the 190532046 folder, both of which are empty, there are no other directories, let me get screenshots
(the user3.dat is from the God Home mod)

Good to know

Still struggling to figure this out, removing godhome mod does not seem to have done anything (except for allowing my save file to save again, which it does as usual), and making a save file in the 4th slot did not make a new actual file.
Turning off steam cloud and saving again also did not seem to create any change

Did you start running the game in proton at some point maybe?
grand glen
Yeah, when I first added bepinex
uncut plank
Ah
That would do it
Proton uses the Windows version, do you don't use the Linux save location anymore
grand glen
So that would be in another hidden folder besides .config?

Can you post the path?
grand glen
/var/home/bazzite/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1030300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/190532046/
it's all here
Agh thank you SO MUCH, this wouldve taken forever for me to think of

I should have noticed it sooner, but I've been pretty busy and didn't think about it until relooking this morning, mb
Glad you found it though
If you use terminal to open this path:
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1030300/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/
does it take you to the same place?
(I mean, it'll be one directory up, but mostly same place)
grand glen
yep!

Nice
