        I can’t stand when games do it. Just put the files in a designated folder where the game is installed dammit!

          I’ll meet you halfway: I created a new folder in the hidden folder %AppData% –> .NameofPublisher –> GameName

          In C:\Program Files? Or C:\Program Files (x86)?

            C:\Program Files\ unless your program is 20+ years old and you still haven’t written a version for modern-day systems. 32-bit is dead.

              Let’s take a look at the old ssd…

              C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games
              C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy
              C:\Program Files (x86)\Hearthstone
              C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\

              etcetera

              We’re walking about Windows, here. If 32-bit ever dies on Windows, it will be lovingly stuffed and placed on the mantle like a pet whose owner can’t admit it’s gone.

          Please don’t mix executables and data created by applications, even if the application happens to be a game. Those are supposed to be separate. That being said, “Documents” is obviously the wrong place for save game files.

      Hey, some games don’t even bother with the documents folder! They just dump their saves right in your home folder!
