Persistent isn't persistent when game is on sd card

When playing a game from the sd card, the persistent file resets every time I relaunch the game. This causes a lot of issues, and basically breaks gallery and skip functionality as those both reset completely every launch.

The same game works perfectly fine when it is on primary storage, and the persistent file acts persistent.

Still not really sure why this is happening. Saves work properly, and persistent is updated and I can see the persistent file where it is supposed be in the saves folder inside the cyou.joiplay.runtime.renpy.v8d3d2 for the game, but as soon as the game is launched the persistent file is overwritten with a fresh one.

I tried to come up with a “mod” that works around this but it didn’t work.
