Save and settings problem

KiniXtr · 02-23-2012, 03:15 PM

This game don't store my save files or settings files.

There is not The Ball folder in "Documents\My Games\".
How can I solve this problem?

Settings is not important but I cannot finish this game without quiting. I need to save it.

Did you move your Documents folder to a non standard location?

If you got admin rights on your computer, you can force the game to save the save files within the install folder, avoiding the document folder entirely.

Add "-nohomedir" behind the exe when you start the game. Rightclick the shortcut to the exe - properties - and add it behind Target. For example:

"G:\The Ball\Binaries\Win32\TheBall.exe -nohomedir"

Yes, i moved my documents folder to "D:"

I added to parameter "-nohomedir" and my problem was solved.

Thank you for support and this game.

This problem seems to be a flaw of UE3.

What are the directories it's supposed to create? Usually manually creating them can mean you can run and save without that switch
