vv221: Strange, my version of the game does not try to write anything into "userdata".
Do you have a directory named "savedata" next to "userdata", and is your user allowed to write in it?
thats how my whole installation looks:
https://files.catbox.moe/xfd3ux.png
yes, user is allowed to write inside. By default /userdata/ inside /game/ didnt exist (as far as I remember), so game created it.

Im using the latest native standalone version, downloaded via gogrepo.py.
md5s are the following:

It’s a bit of a shot in the dark, but might be worth a try: move "savedata" from inside "userdata" to the game root, remove everything else in "userdata", then start the game again.
Does it improve the situation in any way?

If with this it still doesn’t work, I would advise giving a try to the development version of our scripts for this game, that have support for the latest GOG-provided installers: https://framagit.org/vv221/play.it/merge_requests/424

nope.

Lol, I've even emailed them regarding the issue. Their answer was like "we are currently busy with our new game, but one of programmers will look for this problem asap". It was one month ago. I wonder if I should remind them...

I'd say one full month is enough to send them a reminder, maybe someone at the studio has nothing to do right now ;)

Remove both settings.ini files at the same time.
Or try to remove the hidpi line.
Both worked for me today, although I now have an issue when starting a new game. That gets stuck loading on 79%.
A shame that this game is such a mess on Linux.

You should give a try to ./play.it, the game works flawlessly here ;)

For the loading getting stuck, maybe exporting the following environment variable prior to starting the game will work around it:
export LANG=C

I've got it to work pretty reliably now as described in another thread now. Only sometimes it gets stuck on startup, so no big deal. But thanks, will try and see whether it makes a difference.
