Autosave Location

[Demonic Revolt]

My PC has two hard drives. C: drive is my SSD and only contains Windows and a couple other things. Everything else, including all my games, are kept on the D: drive, much larger.

ONI forces all of its saves onto the C: drive every time. After just an hour or two of play, I get an error in game that says it can no longer save because the drive it is saving to is full. There should be 40 GB of free space left on the drive but sure enough, it's down to 0 every time after playing ONI for a brief amount of time. After I close the game and restart the computer, my drive has it's empty space back but I'm left not really able to play this game. Despite how much I love this game.

I can't seem to get it to save anywhere else. Can i fix this? I can not have this game putting any data onto my C: drive at all. Every time i try to delete the Klei folder, or override it with a shortcut, the game just creates a new folder in the C: drive the next time I launch it.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Yes there is a way ...

Create a VHD file in your game disk, them set the file to load at startup with windows, set the root of that file to a folder and set that folder to the folder of the game saves.

Basically the game will think is saving on C but is actually saving in a virtual disk that is a file on another disk.

Is not hard to do ...

copy the save folder to other location ...

delete that folder ...

create another empty folder ( with the same name as the save folder) ...

create a VHD file ...

point that VHD file to that folder instead of a drive ( like C/D/E/what ever ) ...

Tell windows to use that folder instead of a drive ...

Set to load at startup (don't remember if is needed) ...

Done.

The difference is that you set your drive to "mount" to a folder and not to create a drive letter

Another thing that you might consider (and it will solve you space problem) is to transfer all the documents to the other drive

because SSD is a drive that is not reliable for storage and using one for windows will make several files to be rewrite all the time and makes the total drive life shorter is safer to move all.

Changing the documents folder to another drive is simpler :

Thank you custume, I'm going to try your second suggestion and relocate the documents folder onto my D: drive.

I'm not the savviest person with computers and your first suggestion was a little intimidating to try but if this one doesn't work then I will give it a go.
