I recently purchased CrossOver and have been using Crossover Preview to run Nier: Automata on Steam, but for some reason I can't save. I reach the point after the prologue where saving becomes available, I try to save, but nothing happens. There's no error message, I go to the Save page in the menu, I get the popup asking to confirm, I confirm, the “Saving” icon appears in the upper right, but the save slot remains empty and there's nothing available to load. Continuing further into the game and trying to save at one of the checkpoints doesn't work, either.
I couldn’t find any discussions dealing with this exact situation, but here are things I've tried based on other peoples’ struggles with Automata:
- Going back to standard Crossover.
- Uninstalling the game and reinstalling while my VPN is deactivated.
- Switching between my keyboard and controller in case some input wasn't being read.
- Using Steam’s feature to "Verify integrity of game files", which showed everything was normal.
- Browsed local files through Steam to confirm nothing somehow got set to Read Only.
- Found every folder related to the game and allowed all users read & write privileges.
Now I’m out of ideas. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? My computer is a 2019 McBook Pro running Sequoia 15.2.
