Thank for the reply.

Yes, the issue is that folder, but nothing of what I previously did fixed the issue. I made sure to delete the folder during every reinstall, it would re-create the folder and all the files inside. But somehow it seems the game wouldn't be to write into it after the installation.

Thankfully I found what was the root of the issue today, turns out it's related to an option in Windows Defender that stays on, even when Defender is disabled (I do this using a registry edit). There must've been a Windows update in between the time I played sometime 2 weeks ago (thanks Windows 10!!).

I'll point to the setting to turn off in case this happens to someone else ;

- Open Windows Defender
- Go into Virus & threat protection
- Click on Virus & threat protection settings
- Scroll down to Controlled folder access
- Turn off that setting
modifying the Protected folders won't work since we can only ADD folders
Allowing an app through won't work either (tried that before turning it off completely)

If that still doesn't work, restart your computer and make sure the setting is still off before trying the game again.
