@EA_Darko what's the best way to ensure the game has access to my C drive?
the game hasn't created a save folder anywhere for me...
Edit- did a quick test and installed another origin game, it created the save folder in app data without issue.
Community ManagerHey @hero0fcant0n did you check your system to see if you can locate where the settings file is being saved?
Darko
@EA_Darko Feeling kinda dumb... how do I do that?
Everything I'm seeing says it should go into app data or my documents, and it's not hitting either of those. I also ran a search for the folder and didn't find it elsewhere.
Community ManagerHey @hero0fcant0n you can normally find the file located in C:\Users\username\Documents\STAR WARS Squadrons
Darko
@EA_DarkoDoes this folder normally contain CrashDumps, RimeTemp, and Screenshots? I found that folder, but there's no settings in there. It apparently never created the file.
@hero0fcant0nHey there.
It may be that the file is hidden. You can check by backing up 1 folder, then right click and check properties. If a file is there, hidden or not, it will show in properties..
GLHF
@Major-Band1tgood idea! Unfortunately, checking properties confirms its just the 3 folders.
Community ManagerCan you check if you have One Drive running @hero0fcant0n and then check your One Drive to see if it is there.
I'll install Squadrons later on and let you know how I get on with finding the file.

@EA_DarkoNo one drive installed here. :/ I've also checked to make sure the folder read/write permissions are correct and everything looks good.
I appreciate your efforts! I'm real confused by this issue. heh
This solution didn't work for me. Solved: Re: Star Wars: Squadrons doesn't save - Steam - Answer HQ (like others, the particular setting wasn't there)
This other one (this thread) didn't either: Squadrons does not save my progress - Answer HQ (ea.com)
one odd note, my 'STAR WARS Squadrons' folder was directly in the C drive instead of within a user's documents folder. it had 3 folders, but no settings folder.
Here is what worked for me - I logged out of my main/normal/primary windows account and created a new account. This account happens to be secured by a password (my normal user account only uses a pin). For some reason, this works. This 2nd account creates the 'STAR WARS Squadrons' folder within the documents folder of that user, and that folder has the settings folder within it!
Playing the intro for the last time right now!
