Screenshots are now saved in the My Games folder in your Documents folder


WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU DO THIS!?
I had all of my games in my custom folder D:\Games and now I have to go to c:\Documents and Settings\Admin\My documents\My games\ just to find a damn screenshots instead of going to D:\Games !! I dont even use that friggin microsoft-enforced "documents" folder!
GGG stop doing retarded changes to game settings! Or at least make an option to reverse them!

Yeah I've already complained about this change in the patch thread.

I share your disgust and really hope that they will implement an option to revert this change.

Their point for this change is that many (probably most) poeple have the game in their Program files folder and there can be some trouble when the game tries to save screenshot in that location...

I wouldn't say that this is a terrible change. Sure it's annoying for some, but the change is welcome for others who couldn't take screenshots at all.

But yes, the option to choose where you save it is welcome.

who cares lol?

Srsly... first world problems here.
Its obvious thing that GGG should revert all changes and waste time and resources now because you must click 4 times not one.

PRO HINT: but because you are pro in computers (its obvious beacuse yu dont use "that friggin microsoft-enforced "documents" folder") i assume you know this already... YOU CAN MOVE DOCUMENTS FOLDER TO ANY PARTITION YOU WANT. YES YOU CAN STILL HAVE SCREENSHOTS ON D: !!

You can also create a shortcut to 'My Games' System folder inside your 'D:\Games' folder and you will have access to screenshots from PoE folder like before.

Now stop wasting GGG time and forum bandwitch. Is that kind of things that makes game dalayed even more.

Stop this BS.

I'd rather make a shortcut of the screenshots folder in my game folder. Not a perfect solution, but in my opinion it does the job.

Well, that is true. Once again, while it makes life easier for below-average PC users, who install games in default locations, at the same time this change makes life harder for advanced users, who actually manage their PC folders and applications. That's not very nice to enforce people to store screenshots in location they dont use.

Yes, that's true. And it's really easy to add an option to change screenshot location - it will take like 3 minutes to implement - I'm a coder myself, so I can tell.

You are forgetting, my dear below-average PC user, that english is not the only language in the world. And POE does not support unicode. Now go and try to save screenshot in "C:\Documents\Админ\". POE crashes.

Btw, speaking about reserved locations, my "my documents" folder is located in d:\TEMP\USERDATA\ where i dont store any valuable data because I use a short bat file that deletes everything in D:\Temp. I also have a SYSTEM TMP (windows/temp) folder in D:\Temp\SYSTEMP. Quite a surprise for you, huh? Now go learn how to use a "START" button, which located in left lower part of the screen, my dear below-average PC user.
