I just started playing Shadow's Awakening, and it looks great!! But two problems so far - first, when I save my game, I put in my character name and click on "Accept". But when I access my saved games, the save file I just made is not listed. Also, when I am on the main title screen and try to load my auto-saved file, the game starts to load but nothing happens. I waited for a couple minutes but got nothing. The same deal for going from in-game to the title screen - the game begins to load but nothing happens. Can someone help me?

Try checking if the save file actually gets created once you save in-game.

The default path is on the C drive User/AppData/LocalLow/Games Farm/Shadows_ Awakening/saves

If there are files there, are you the admin user on the PC? Might be because the game does not have permission to access the C drive or something like that. Try launching the game as admin and see if that helps.
