AGS: Quest for Glory II Remake: Import a Hero does not work

[OmerMor]

Running the latest daily build (2021-03-03 01:44:20 downloaded on 2021-03-19) on Windows 10.

When starting the game, and pressing "Import a Hero" the game writes the following message:
"I'm sorry, there don't appear to be any Quest for Glory saved characters in this folder."

I've tried to put a qfg1 exported save file in the following folders:

• ScummVM's save path
• ScummVM's program path
• The game's folder

None of these worked.

Just confirmed that this is still reproduced is the 2021-03-19 daily snapshot as well.

Could you attach the exported save for testing purposes? Thanks.

[OmerMor]

Done.

This seems to work for me.

If I put your file in the game folder it is found (see screenshot in attachment).

If I put the file in the save path, I need to add the game target as a prefix (in my case "qfg2agdi-") as in ScummVM we add a prefix for all the files in the save path to avoid conflicts between several AGS games (for example several games try to create or read a 'user.cfg' file in the save path).

On my machine it doesn't work. Maybe it's a problem with the Windows build?
I have the file in my game folder, as well as in my save path.
I have it named both as qfg1-q1-abra.sav and qfg2agdi-q1-abra.sav
I still get the same "not found" reply.
I monitored ScummVM's file system access with Sysinternals' Process Monitor and saw that it does indeed scan the relevant folders and even find the save files.
However an operation of IRP_MJ_CREATE for the file returns result of NAME_INVALID.

If it matters, loading regular saved games from this game works, so not all file system access is failing.

Another data point: the original SCI qfg2 is able to find and import this saved character on my machine.

Well, I confirmed that the fix I did yesterday worked when I did Downloaded all the attachments as a zip, and then extracted the .sav file. The way it works, it should list any .sav file in your game directory, and any .sav file in the ScummVM save path that has a "qfg2agdi-*.sav" form (or whatever prefix/target your game entry has).

Thanks! Verified fix in the latest daily snapshot.
