How to change save location?

[Rico]

Hello. For some reason the current savegame location is set to a paradox folder in my documents (on my C: partition).

How would I go about changing that location to, say, a different folder on my E: partition?

Thanks in advance.

To save it on custom path on E: just put that specific path into the created userdir.txt

I'm not quite sure I understand.

Create a new text file in your game folder (Steam/steamapps/common/Victoria II) named userdir

If you want the savegames to be saved in the game folder, you just put
.
inside and save it.
This file overwrites the default save location on C: (which is very normal for any program) and "." just refers to the current path.

If you want the user directory (including saves) to be saved somewhere else, you have to copy that path inside the text file instead.

Make sure you backup your savegames beforehand to make sure not to lose them.
