Hello

I have a game that saves progress in C:\Users\Public\Documents\

But I have multiple accounts that I access this game with, how can I solve this so that the game progress doesn't get overwritten or interfere with each other in any way with different local accounts?

So let's say we have 5 local accounts and one storage, which is not right.

Each account should have its own storage, but unfortunately this is the Public folder, how do I separate it now? ;)

User1 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\
User2 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\
User3 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\
User4 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\
....

Which is not okay

It would be okay to sort of go along those lines….

User1 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\User1\
User2 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\User2\
User3 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\User3\
User4 - C:\Users\Public\Documents\User4\
....

How to do it?

Thank you

Hmm?
No, what you want to use is the variable %userprofile%
Hmm, I don't know if we understand each other :)

The game saves progress in C:\Users\Public\Documents\ by default

But here comes the problem, with multiple local users on the same computer.

I would have to change it somehow, even if manually for each user, so that C:\Users\Public\Documents\ would not be named and tied to each user individually
