Hi everyone,

If you are playing Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition on macOS and your newly created profile does not show up in the menu, it is likely NOT a permission or iCloud issue. It is a specific UI refresh bug where the menu always lags one entry behind.

The Discovery: The game successfully creates the profile folders in your local directory, but the UI fails to display the most recently created profile. It only refreshes the list when a new profile creation is triggered.

The Fix:

  • Open the game and create your desired profile (e.g., "MainPlayer"). It will not show up yet.
  • Immediately create a second, dummy profile (e.g., "RefreshDummy").
  • As soon as the second profile is created, the list updates and your first profile ("MainPlayer") will finally appear and is fully playable.


Optional Cleanup: If you want to keep your folders clean, you can go to
Code
~/Documents/Larian Studios/Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition/PlayerProfiles
and delete the "RefreshDummy" folder. The game will keep your "MainPlayer" visible in the menu for the rest of your session.

Summary: The UI always hides the latest entry. To see your actual profile, just "push" it into the list by creating a second one right after it.
