Failed to save data?

[NickyW]

When i change the option or try to save the game i get this message: "Failed to save data!" So i can't save my game or change the option because when i restart the option are back to default.

The error

Getting the same message here. It doesn' save anything, not the options, not the game files.
Any ideas?

Same problem here, I tried to run the game as Administrator but that isn´t the problem

Getting the error too.

Okay I 'solved' it, ,my Windows user folder has an accent (C:/Users/Daniel´s) and this little thing bring me lots of headache with other games and programs so I created another user admin account without special characters and inside this account the game saved correctly!. If you can try to do the same and work for you too the devs probably can fix it sooner

I'm not sure how I would go about doing that.

Did discover something odd though. The folder the Mega Man Collection is located in inside the Steam folder is called "Suzy" for some reason. And the actual Mega Man Collection is named "Proteus" for some reason. I think the PC programmers have been up to shenanigans.

I think i have a similar issue due to having non-english characters in my username.

But maybe creating the required folders manually could solve this issue.

Edit: no, that doesn't help. Though since it can save just fine on guest account (which doesn't have non-english characters on my Windows translation), that atleast is confirmed to be the issue.

Well then, maybe i'll try out the new refund system and get Grandia 2 instead, and re-buy this when the issue patched? Well, assuming that one doesn't have horrible bugs too :p

Yikes, I suspect that would be the case for me too, since my user name is Aláin. But I don't want to have to log in into a different account just to play the game...
Bloody luck, I was really looking foward to play this day one. How long do youse reckon it'll take them to patch it?

I confirm, changing your name so it has no character that are not english, my name had a "é" in it and it was the cause. Here's the tutorial i followed : http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/147545-user-profile-folder-change-user-account-folder-name.html

[Ḓ̴̰͖͒̓̂a̵̧͉̠̚ṉ̶̠̀͆i̵͇̪̐̂͝e̷͖̐l]

In my case the save game is in this folder, is the new Window account
C:\Users\dsc\AppData\Roaming\MegaMan\01100001030533B7 (Writable)
the other one is
Users\Daniel´s (Unwritable)

I had this folder name problem programing before and I solved just by changing the path of the file that I want to write just in the program path, so probably is not a big deal for the devs (I really don´t know). Hope they fix it soon because I don´t want another account just for play this game and not all users are able to follow this last tutorial.

Could symbolic links be used for this somehow?
