This only applies to Stronghold Crusader HD on Steam
Some players have reported that the game does not allow them to load and save games properly. This appears to be because the game cannot access their Documents\Stronghold Crusader folder, possibly due to security software installed on the computer. As a result we have included a method to allow players to change the folder in which Stronghold Crusader stores all options, save games, maps etc.
1) Create a new folder on your computer where you would like your Stronghold Crusader options, saves and maps to the stored e.g. C:\Games\Firefly
2) Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Stronghold Crusader Extreme
3) Edit the configpath.txt file using a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++
4) Add the path to the new folder to line 1 in configpath.txt
5) Save the file
