V13 won't quit updating. Overwrites saves etc.
-Jetz-:
Vista, but I disabled UAC after being fed up with it questioning me wether I was absolutely positively totally entirely really really certainly undisputibly wholly fully conclusively sure that I wanted to run notepad. It seemed completely useless, so I disabled it as soon as I figured out how. No regrets.
That aside, I think Blockland should detect and warn the user if they have UAC on and it's loving up their game. Maybe have it try to create a file then check to see if the file got put in the right place.

The problem is that the file reads and writes are handled and redirected by the operating system. You cannot actually tell where you are writing the files.

But if file reading is redirected, why are the saves absent? Or does it discriminate on wether to redirect based on why you are trying to read it?
Cody574:
For anyone who needs to know, your Virtual Store is located in C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Local\VirtualStore.
Inside that should be a Program Files folder, and then you would navigate to your Blockland saves directory like you normally would. Your saves should be there.

Simple solution:
Stop worrying about it and just stick it in C:\Blockland.
