What does this mean

[gibbed]

How are you running it?

Do you have Windows installed on your SteamDeck, or are you running it through Wine?

[Heavenlydmn]

I'm running it through lutris so yes

[Heavenlydmn]

Nvm I literally just figured it out.

[thuggothic]

What did you do to get it to save?

I'm encountering the same issue and can't figure it out

I'm Using wine

Step by step process
1: run steam deck in desk top mode and create a new folder and call it " mods" or whatever you like
2: open "dolphin file manager"
3: in the top right hand corner of the file manager, exactly to the right of the search icon you'll see three solid white horizontal lines that look exactly like the physical button on your steam deck( it's above your right thumb stick and to the left of the "Y" button for reference)
4: click on that and select the option "show hidden files"
5: locate the " .steam" folder and click on it
6: locate the "steam" folder and click on it
7:locate the" steamapps" folder and click on it
8: locate the "compatdata" folder and click on it
9: locate folder "49520" and click on it
10: locate "pfx" folder and click on it
11: locate "drive_c" folder and click on it
12: locate "users" folder and click on it
13: locate "steamuser" folder and click on it
14: locate "documents" folder and click on it
15: locate "my games" folder and click on it
16: locate "borderlands 2" folder and click on it
17: locate "willowgame" folder and click on it
18: locate "savedata" folder and click on it
19: locate "76561198123964780" folder and click on it( this number may be different for you but honestly it should be only one folder that you can click on anyway)
20: you should now see your saved date. They should read " save0001.sav" or " Save0002.sav" and so on and so forth( keep this file window open, you'll need it later)
21: right click any save file and copy it
22: open gibbed save editor and clickon the " open" tab( you can find the " open" tab exactly to the right of the "new" tab)
23: right click on the fine name section and paste the save file that you copied in step 21 and then click on "open" in the bottom right hand corner
24: from there your character will pop up and you can change, add gear, and do whatever you like
25: when you're done click on the "Save as" tab and save that file in the new folder you made in step 1, save the file name as whatever you like.
26: go into the folder and right click and copy that file
27: go back to the file window I told you to keep open in step 20 and right click and paste it
28: rename that file you just pasted in as the save file date file you opened in gibbed save editor ( exp: if you opened "save0001.sav" in gibbed editor. You would rename that file you pasted in as "save0001.sav"
29: a window will pop up informing you have a save file with that name already, you want to overwrite it with the new file. ( me personally I also overwrite the "save0001.sav.bak" file with the modded save file I pasted it.
30: open borderlands 2 and navigate to the top right hand corner where your profile name is and press the "y" button
31: press the "a" button on the game character you modded in gibbed and the playthrough you desire and you're all done

I made this step by step guide almost foolproof as you can see there many steps to make sure nothing is left out

[thuggothic]

Gonna give that a shot after dinner

Thank You

I was able to find the save originally, load it up then when I tried to save after I would get the original message that you posted to begin with

So hopefully this works

No problem, I couldn't find a guide on how to do this anywhere so I decided to make one for anyone trying to play borderlands 2
