Status: offline 		I'm having the same problem. Tried running the game with admin rights but that didn't help.

Starting a new scenario and saving I was able to see that particular save, until I closed the game and restarted, then no saves were found at all once again.

Using Win8.1/64.

Edit: I too have two Husky folders, and now a Westwall one as well.

This was the first time I tried reloading a save after having exited the game, so I assume I've never been able to see saves after exiting.

Yes, I tried everithing and the beahaviour is Always the same. In addition I noticed that if I exit a scenario and then go to the load screen the new load location is inside the previous scenario folder but the Arrow for going one directory up is missing

I don't know what are you talking about, the game is intalled in "c:\MatrixGames\War in The West" and my user have full control in that folder

Status: offline 		I may have used MKlink to create symlinks in the past, but that was for relocating CMANO saves to OneDrive.

I tried installing the game on my stationary computer running the same OS, only it's an English copy with Swedish keyboard layout installed. It works fine there. The main difference I notice in the game is here I see the folder icon for moving up a level, which I don't on my other computer (touch enabled btw).

Status: offline 		I tried moving one of my .sav files to \Save\ and that worked, I can see the saves not in a subfolder, so that's a doable workaround for now.

Maybe localized version of Windows 7/8...

HeinzHarald's workaround is working for me too, so there's no great urgency to fix this from my point of view. But let me know if you need any more info from me.

Status: offline 		I think this can be something to do either with fact that game is using non-unicode file system access or some local access restrictions.

The unicode trail sounds good to me... I can assure you that the game folder is set for full access

Just tried, didn't make any difference I'm afraid.

Status: offline 		Can you see the saves in the main save directory?
If so a temporary method could be to copy the save to there to continue playing.

Also try to create the sub-directory without spaces (or use _ instead) and see if that helps

Yes a couple if us have tried copying to Save and that works.

No spaces makes no difference at least for me, I tried previously with Westwall.

Status: offline 		Other workaround:
Start the previously used scenario again, make sure the suggested save folder gets the same name you previously used and immediately resign the game. Try to load a saved game, game may then load saves from the last used folder.

Status: offline 		Looks like we found the issue. It seems game doesn't recognize folders with non default attributes (ex. compressed, encrypted, restricted for indexing or archive). It will be fixed in coming patch.

Now you can try to set save folder attribute to the "default" values:
