Saves not appearing

[mapron01]

This has been happening for a few days now. While the game works fine and saves appear on the list when I click 'Load Game', the actual save folders are all empty when I go check their address in C:. Running in Windows, latest update.

I have attempted re-starting the computer and uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. First time this bug occurred, one of my saves got stuck in a 1926 manual save, when in the actual game I had already reached the mid 1940s and saved several times since then. It only displayed the data for where I was when it was 1926, and lacks newer ship design files. What is stranger is in the design ship menu, I was able to load designs made after 1926 and they worked fine, but if I copied the design file and tried to paste it elsewhere, it stated the file didn't exist and failed to paste it.

Attached are photos of the current state of the Game1 folder and of the Load Game menu when I boot the game.

Potentially of note, in that same game where the save first bugged, a number of strange things happened with older British and German battleships, and several of them ended up bugging out when I tried to see their data, said to have guns of 0 caliber and 0 speed.

I recall a couple of players with this issue - Try running the game with Administrator permissions, I believe that resolved this issue for most of them.

In other reports, relevant to this issue, it turned out that the Windows OS was sometimes moving the save games to its own internal area that it considered 'safe' - somewhere in the current users "Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\" folder IIRC.

Huh. Interestingly, running as admin appears to have deleted that test 1900 save file, but it appears to have worked! Thanks for the help!
