Events:
After playing the game for 2h, I saved and closed the game. The saving screen did show that the game made a few autosaves and I saved in a new file.
When I returned and started the game to resume, I found out that I didn’t have any saves, after finding the saves folder, there were no saves.
After making a quick check, it turns out I forgot to add the game to the list of allowed apps in ransomware protection, so the game couldn’t write saves in the documents folder.
After adding the game to the list of allowed apps and saving a new game, it generated a folder in the save folder with files in it, and the game can also read and load the save.
Comments:
- Generally games show an error indicating that they can’t write in the folder where they are supposed to make the saves, but there was no warning nor error at any point.
- My documents folder is in one drive folder, but one drive is uninstalled from my pc.
I haven’t tried to replicate the issue (yet), butI’m stillI was quite sure it was ransomware protection that prevented the game from saving.
Edit:
I’ve tried to replicate the issue by removing the game from the allowed list on ransomware protection and saving a new game. Looks like the game performed as intended, creating the necessary files for the save and such files can later be loaded.
I’m unsure if it’s a fresh install problem, if it was due to my documents being in the one drive folder, or any other issue that was solved on its own when I allowed the game in the ransomware protection list.
For now I’ll update the title to one that better suits the current state of the bug.
