[solved&closed] Issue with creating folder in My Documents

[Isokolon]

Hello folks!

I think I screwed up when setting up Windows.

So when I was buying a new computer, I kept my old HDD (E: ) but installed Windows on a SSD (C: )
Windows set up all the users folders on C: of course. I moved them and merged them with my old Windows install, set the path for documents for example from C:/users/C-user/documents to E:/users/E-user/documents
and it worked like a charm tbh

but now I encountered the second game that wouldn't launch/crash immediately. I was kinda baffled and tried everything. when I set up a second user account however, both run perfectly there without any issues

for the alternative user account everything is set at C:/users/alternativeuser/documents and there is a folder the game created in their
however on my user account, there's no such folder in E:/users/E-user/documents so I think this is why it crashes

could it be that the game can't create a folder there because the user account is called differently than the path of my documents-directory?
if so, how do I fix this?


any idea would be much appreciated

sincerely yours

Fixed it. Registry linked to a path that didn't exist.
