Can't neither save games nor change savegame directory

#1 Post by juvilado »

Hi, using v0.4.4 7641, Windows 8.1, 1st time i play, when i tried to save before leaving, noticed several things:

1: I can't save game. It sais there is some kind of error

2: When i try to change savegame directory, i delete former, and try to rewrite the route, i find i can't type the "\" symbol, so im quite doomed then. Even designing c: as savegame path doesn't work.

3: Then i uninstall and reinstall and i find that the savegame route hasn't changed; itkeeps record of the previous path (c:) it had before nistalling. I don't know how to reset that.

4: Moreover, i find that now the Resource Files path is empty too and i don't know where Resource Files should be. When try to play again i can't, a message shows saying "Timed out while trying to connect to server"

I don't have any such issue on Windows 7, and don't recall any reports of issues of this sort... typing \ works for me in the options screen directory listings, and in the directory select dialog. If you can't type, try the directory select dialog (the ... button).

Try deleting the contents of C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\FreeOrion

The resource directory is normally FreeOrion/default where FreeOrion is whatever path you have FreeOrion installed to, like C:\Program Files\FreeOrion\default
