Game Won't Save

NYM Fan 31 · 03-13-2018, 06:19 PM

Every time I start, I edit a few players, sign a few free agents, and start camp. Then I save the game and exit, and when I restart, it doesn't save properly.

I think it may be because the game files are located in my Program Files (x86) folder and the saved game files are in my "Documents" folder. When I try to "save game as" a new game name, it won't let me, and I get an error message "Could Not Create Game Folder.

Please help. It's disappointing because I just purchased the game and was excited to play.

Sounds like your system may require you to have administrator privileges to write to the Documents folder. If you have the eSellerate version, try starting it by right-clicking on the shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator." If it's Steam and you're launching it from the Steam client, exit the Steam client and re-start it the same way, right-click and Run as Administrator.

I think this is true because when I copy pictures into my saved games folder it asks me for permission. Thanks! I’ll check it out later and let you know.
