Description

Steps to reproduce

  • Launch a new game of Warlock - Master of the Arcane
  • Save it just after it launches. You will notice that there's already one savegame listed, an autosave
  • Exit the game to the main menu.
  • Click either "Continue" or "Load game". At this point a list of savegames is expected. Instead you will stay in the main menu with the following error message in a popup window:
    LoadGame error:
    TXML::Node(TXML:EMPTY_NODE:Empty)-

GetExistingNode(): cannot find node 'GameServer'"

Version of Proton : 3.7-5 Beta and 3.7-3 (with 3.7-3 you don't see the error message)
Steam system info - Portable Acer.txt

Research direction

Start by reproducing the save-and-reload sequence in Warlock - Master of the Arcane with Proton 3.7-5 Beta and 3.7-3, using the attached Steam system information. Trace the save loading path around the missing GameServer node and compare both Proton versions. Done means Continue and Load game display the available savegames instead of returning to the main menu with the XML error.
