My Anno 1404 Venise (F language as I am french, or Venice in Eng), stores my saved games directly into "My Documents".
C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ANNO 1404
C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ANNO 1404 Venise
It clutters my well organized "My Documents" folder.
I try to link the game to another folder, under the subfolder "My Games" that already been created by the game by default into "My Documents"
C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\ANNO 1404
C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\ANNO 1404 Venise
I found a file in the installation folder : goglog.ini
In this file, there are a list of locations for the game directories and files. And I changed the path for the Dir_0 and Dir_1:
[1440426004]
Dirs=4
Dir_0=C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\Anno 1404
Dir_1=C:\Users\xxx\Documents\My Games\ANNO 1404 Venise
Dir_2=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404
Dir_3=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404Addon
Files=2
File_0=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\Engine.ini
File_1=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404Addon\Config\Engine.ini
[1440426004_dircopy]
Dirs=4
Dir_0=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config
Dir_1=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404\Config\
Dir_2=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404Addon\Config
Dir_3=C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Ubisoft\Anno1404Addon\Config\
But no.
After restarting the game and saving a test game, it continues to send my saved games to the same folder :
C:\Users\xxx\Documents\ANNO 1404 Venise
Nothing hard-written either in the Windows Registry (W7 64b)...
I also saw nothing referring to the saved games locations in Engine.ini and game_settings.xml ...
?
Does anyone know how to change the default location for the user's game files ??
