Savegame location is bugged

Post by Coyl »

Hi,

I run a Russian version of Windows XP, and I'm having a problem with savegame directory. We know, that the game intents to keep saves in My Documents sub-folder. The games tries to create this folder at first launch. However, non-english versions of windows can have different names for this folder, like "Мои документы" for Russian or name composed of hieroglyphs for asian languages. So, when the game tries to make a subfolder at a location with non-latin characters in pathname, we see a messagebox with error. This is not nice at all... To allow RPG fans run the game anywhere it woudl be great to fix the bug.

I suggest that you move the location of saved games to the Application Data subfolder of user profile... or maybe fix wide-strings handling
