Save game on wrong drive/folder

Hello,

I know that a similar issue already existed, but this is very special.

Issue: Savegames didn’t exist anymore
Yesterday I saved a lot via Autosave und also manually, sometimes.
Today the game reported, that there are no saved games.

If I understood correctly, I should search in: C:\Users\%currentuser%\Documents\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save

Root cause
I installed the game on E: drive using Steam.
Apparently the game then used folder for Savegames on E: drive (instead of the one above): E:\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save\
The folder E:\My Games didn’t exist before, Farthest Frontier created it.
Sidenote: Yesterday also loading games was possible. So within the game session yesterday, saving/loading used same location on E:. Today the game used the correct location on C: and didn’t find the games.

Workaround

  1. Closed game
  2. copied files from E: folder (see above) to C:\Users\%currentuser%\Documents\My Games\Farthest Frontier\Save\*
  3. started game
    Savegames are now shown and can be loaded.

Possibly caused by Windows controlled folder access policy, by the way. But I am not sure: I actually added permission for the game directly after 1st game start
