As my standard Windows user, I cannot save a game at all and my profile dissapears after I exit the game.
I just went to Control Panel and created a new user with a different name and made him an administrator.
Then logged in as the new user, logged into my existing Steam account and it saw my installed games fine.
Started the game and it created the Larian Studios folder for that new user in his Document folder. (You might want to check folder permissions just in case). I also made sure that I set the EoCapp.exe file to open as Administrator.
Game then worked and saved games.
I actually then imported my old saved games from Dropbox. Annoyingly the most recent autosave would crash the game but all others worked and game has been saving fine since.
Bit of a pain looging in and out of different Users but worth it
Thanks to Raze on another thread for this advice!
