I am using the latest test build of FO and I have tried some possibilities to solve the problem, but none were successful.
First, I've installed FO on C:, my main partition, thinking the second partition installation is causing the problem. Nothing.
Secong, I am posting a picture, where you can see the exact error message. I tried changing the save game path from within the game Options -> Directory, but there I've got a second error, stating "Invalid UTF-8". Now, coming from these clues, is it possible, that the cause of the problem is my Windows username, with "á" character? Is there another way, to obture this UTF problem?

Can you attach freeorion.log and freeoriond.log from immediately after producing the UTF-8 error?

Here you are.
Here it is,when I'm trying to change the path from within the game. I also tried config.xml. And unchecking read-only file attributes. Nothing.

Re: Can't save/load games (Path not found)
I have the same problem - Windows user path with special characters. I've bypassed it by entering Options>Directories and changing the save path to C:\freeorionsaves. (You have to create that folder beforehand).
Still can't access saved ship designs, though, as it's also in the user path and there's no option to change it.

Re: Can't save/load games (Path not found)
Most likely yes. The file save/load dialog appears to be not correctly converting path strings between UTF-8 and UTF-16 before/after attempting to convert to boost::filesystem::path objects.andrewthehammer87 wrote:...is it possible, that the cause of the problem is my Windows username, with "á" character?
