When running the game from the executable file (.exe) it does launch the game but all my characters and progress do not load (it is like I opened the game for the first time). This happens even if Steam is already open. By running it from the URL shortcut, it works fine.
Every other game in steam I have doesn’t do this.
The reason I’m doing this is that I run my games from inside Kodi, and Kodi doesn’t run Games from urls only from .lnk
I know this is trivial, but any help is much appreciated!
I have tried to find out more about using kodi to launch .exe files. It seems it is not an encouraged practice do this because of a multitude of reasons, including security.
As to your issue, it looks like there is a gap between the .exe file being launched through Kodi and it not finding your save files (those are located in AppData - LocalLow - Moon Studios - NoRestForTheWicked - Datastore - 24313).
Maybe with that info you can find a solution.
Since this is a self-inflicted problem, we cannot offer you support. (Because the fix would be; stop using Kodi to launch the game)
Your best bet is finding a solution yourself, or maybe someone with enough technical knowledge can aid you by seeing your topic.
I will move your topic to General, and wish you the best of luck!
Thank you for your reply! I did not expect official support for this problem of course, just some advice! But Kodi doesn’t have to do with it. Even if you run it by the .exe it has this behavior. I just find it strange that this is the only game that does that. Every other game when running the .exe (instead of the url) opens steam and loads saved data and everything…
I would like for you to start with submitting some files, which files they are and where they can be found you can read here: How to Properly Report Bugs!
