OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Saved game not visible in Windows File Explorer

I reinstalled OOTP19 while running it as Administrator. I did the default install again, and once again it put the data folder in the Program Files directory rather than the customary location in My Documents. After the reinstall I manually created the OOTP19 folder in My Documents, and the test league I created was visible in the saved_games folder after creation. The issue seems to be resolved for now.

I'm not sure if the resolution was installing while running as Administrator or moving the data folder out of Program Files. Either way, the game put the data folder in the wrong location on my tablet. Patching my existing install on my laptop to 19.5.49 worked fine, but new 19.5.49 installs on my tablet had issues (despite OOTP16 to 18 installing fine previously). I'm going to report the potential install issue as a bug, in the event that's it's something that was introduced in 19.5.49.

Thanks for all the suggestions and possible fixes.
