Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues NO profiles found, ever

I had the same problem today and i noticed something weird going on. I don't think the save game path is hard-coded, but they are storing the full path with drive letter after setting the save game folder and not the relative "my docs" path. Here's what happened:

I keep "my documents" on a second hard drive to separate data files from applications. I disassociate the default my docs folder on the OS drive and set the one I make on my data drive to the default save location. My DOS save games were getting saved there after my initial install, so clearly it's not hard-coded to the C drive. Then my data drive started failing. I copied everything off to another new drive I purchased to replace it. The new drive has a new drive letter. I changed the "my docs" path associations in Windows to the new location on my new drive and unplugged my old drive. Starting up DOS after that resulted in no recognized profiles. It clearly didn't see the same relative my docs path, so it must have saved the full path somewhere. When I created a new profile, it was saved under "C:\Larian Studios\..." and not in either the new my docs location on the new drive nor in the default Windows my docs location, which is interesting. I then plugged in my old drive again. I should point out here that I changed the directory name from "my documents" to "OLD my documents" on this drive (the failing one) and that it was no longer associated with the Windows "my documents" library. However, starting DOS now I can see my old profile and save game. Somehow it's both saving the full path and then checking for partial matches. Very strange behavior. So I can continue my save game, but I have to play it off my failing hard drive, so now I have that fun "timer" to play against (if a sector with the save game fails before I beat it). I tried copying the profile folder from the failing drive to the location on my OS drive where DOS created a new profile directory when the failing drive was disconnected, then disconnected the failing drive again, but DOS threw an error trying to load the save game from the new path (although it did SEE the profile and save games). So it will only LOAD my save game from the specific drive it was saved to, but the directory doesn't have to be named the same.
