Error Writing The Story Files
I just install the game. But, when I wanted to start New Game, it said:
Error: There was an error writting the story files to your Documents Folder.

I know that the problem was the permission issue. But, how can I change the setting of permission?

I already checked the Guides section, yet get how to change the setting.

FYI:
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
i7 4720HQ
Nvidia 840M

Hi, one of several things may need to be done:

1) You may need to go to C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Eek , right click on the House Party folder, go to Properties -> Security, and make sure there that your account (hopefully you are the PC Administrator) has Full Control. All "Allow" permissions should be checked.

2) You may need to force the game to run as an Administrator. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\House Party , right click on HouseParty.exe, then Compatibility, and Check "Run this program as an administrator", then Apply and Ok.

3) You may need to adjust your User Account Control settings (UAC). For more info on that, check out this article. The highest setting can interfere with some games and programs. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/user-account-control/user-account-control-overview

4) This isn't an error that is ONLY about permissions. It can be caused by anti-virus, anti-ransomware, or other security software. Our folders, files, and game process need to run without real-time protection trying to stop them from, to put it simply, "seeing and talking to each other". You should check this link and look into allowing/white listing/giving exception to our game through any security software you have installed: https://steamcommunity.com/app/611790/discussions/1/1733216261964524301/
