I tried this after my original post, it had no effect whatsoever.



I do not have any installed.



I mentioned this in my original post, but I shall elaborate. The file path of the default screenshot folder created by the game does not exactly match the path in FFXIV's settings in game(my username has a space in it and FFXIV only has the half of of my username before the space). But as I mentioned in the original post the game WILL NOT allow me change the screenshots folder. Everytime I attempt to do so it tells me that the selected folder is Read Only. I have two Hard Drives in my system and have tried creating a folder especially on both drives and I get the same error message regardless.
You want to see soemthing HILARIOUS?

Change the screenshot folder. Put it somewhere else completely different.

Make a folder in the root of the drive, say c:/screen/ ... look at it, confirm that it's not read only.

Now, put that adress into ff14, tell it that's the screen shot folder.

The folder INSTANTLY becomes read only, and locked that way.

Now change it to another folder, that folder locks down, but you can remove the read only on the other folder.

I reported this bug about a year ago, and it was transferred to general and dismissed as me lying by the GM's.

A few months ago a patch fixed it so it stopped doing it and I could take screenshots again. Completely at random with no mention of the bug in the patch notes.

Now it's your turn to fight the system and see if they'll listen.

Goodluck.
