HELP: I CAN'T SAVE MY GAME

[Mr. J]

I know SOM should save itself automatically. However, everytime I restart the game, all of it are reset (setting , game progress). Through browsing players' discussion, I weirdly find that there is not "[steam_location]\userdata\[unique_id]\241930" directory in my pc.

ANY GUYS CAN EXPLAIN WHY?

[Mr. J]

its' bro, shadow of war can save itself successfully in my pc. So I have no idea what's wrong with SOM (sad)

I assume you're playing in offline mode or cloud sync for this game is noy activated, right?

I think the save location is Documents/My Games/WB games.
Try to run the game as administrator, and make sure the antivirus is not preventing it from saving. 👍🏽

Dude, I have tried to run SOM as administrator and even shut down windows defender. It didn't work.(sad)
I also searched [Documents/My Games/WB games] : Game.ini render.cfg settings.cfg. My saveload isn't there.

Whatever in offline mode or online mode, I tried. And, I think cloud sync for this game is activated.

Have you already checked the integrity of the files?

Of course, man. The first thing I did is it.

[cheshirm]

saves work on my win 11 machine
...\steam\userdata\[MyUniqueSteamID]\241930\remote\GameData.sav

if your settings are reset every time you run the game
neither steam nor the game installer nor the game make any changes nor bypass whatever antivirus, security settings, folder permissions, running programs you have on your system. up to YOU to manage all that.

game launcher needs to create folder
Documents\WB Games\Shadow of Mordor
folder should contain files render.cfg settings.cfg Game.ini
after game launcher runs and you set your graphics settings

if these files are missing

check antivirus log? might be blocking game/game launcher.

check windows security/controlled folder access.
if on add exceptions for game launcher/game.

running Windows One Drive? One Drive moves the ini/preference files to the one drive.
turn OFF one drive. uninstall it if not needed.

or if you need one drive, should be exclusion/exception option.
exclude the games Documents folder or tell one drive to leave a local copy of the files
details in the one drive user manual

search your drives for a file named GameData.sav to see if it was created somewhere

[Mr. J]

Finally, reinstalled twice. fixed
