A game I've been eyeing for a while just went on sale, [1]Pharoah Rebirth+ , and the game runs fine, except it doesn't appear to be able to read or write to the joy1.ini file which defines the controls. The launcher detects gamepad and keyboard input, but the game does not. I have a feeling that the game binary expects a hardcoded path to the configuration file. The Steam and Proton logs do not indicate any files missing or unreadable.

I'm wondering, if anyone has encountered path issues with game files while using Proton and if anyone has any fixes.

For now I've submitted a compatability report on r/ [2]http://spcr.netlify.com . I'll continue to hack on this.

Thanks,
