Two months ago I purchased the founders edition, which I turned on, set up, played, saved and went to bed. The next day when I wanted to continue, the settings were reverted to the original settings and I couldn't load the saved game because there was none. For reasons I don't understand, the game doesn't want to save any data to the computer.

I looked and I'm not the only one this is happening to. Could you take a look at this please? This is a total game breaking bug.

Also, I've emailed you twice, please, if these emails reporting problems from players are going to your spam folder, maybe it would be a good idea to create some sort of community place where we can report these bugs? Or integrate a bug report system right into the game, what do you think? O.o

Thank you for your understanding and possible answer.

Dear Fenekie,

Thank you for reaching out, and thank you for the feedback. Please make sure:

You have free disk space on the drive CHORDOSIS is located and the drive Windows is located.
Make sure you've extracted the game, and it does not run from the compressed .zip file. It's impossible to make save files inside the .zip. (or, just simply use the itch.io app to download the game)

Right click on the "CHORDOSIS - FOUNDERS EDITION.exe" and select 'Run as administrator"

I'll do my best to reply as much as I could, and as quickly as I could.
I'm working on a built-in feedback system for CHORDOSIS since the beginning, but it's still not as good as I want it to be.
You can press SHIFT+O to open the in-game feedback system.

I'm leaning towards on an official discord server before Steam and/or console releases, where I could even stream some of the development process, and provide more insight into CHORDOSIS. One of my ever main goals is to be absolutely open about the game and it's current state, especially for founders.
But as of now, I don't have a capable enough PC to simultaneously develop the game and stream it, but with your support this will change in the next couple months. :)

Hope this helps and hope you'll have fun with my game!
Thank you Fenekie,
Adam

Hello AdamDubiGames,

I don't think I could run any application directly from the archive unless the application was compiled into a single file, i.e. an exe file... :'D

I have enough disk space everywhere for now, so hopefully it will last a long time. I tend to download all possible purchased games directly to my PC... xD

I think I figured out where the problem was... o.o Don't you have it defined in the code that the saved data is saved to a directory with the exact name? O.o Because I unzipped your game to my SDD, I didn't rename the folder and without giving it admin rights, it started saving the data. So I moved it to the HDD where I had it before, just kept the folder name and the data saving kept working. :D So the problem was probably that I renamed the game folder... o.o

If this is indeed the problem, then I would recommend changing the code to save the data to the root directory, not a directory with a specific name... :)

Best regards!
