I am playing The Witcher 3 through GOG Galaxy on my Windows 10 machine, and I would really like to store save gamesaves on my G: drive (specifically G:\Documents\The Witcher 3). By default, the games were saving to my OneDrive on the C: drive. I decided to move OneDrive to the G: drive (by deleting the folder and going through the OneDrive setup wizard). However, this did not solve the problem, as The Witcher 3 started saving files in C:\Users\slyry\Documents instead. I looked all over the settings of the game and online forums, and realized that it used the Windows Registry to determine where to save files. So I decided to head over to regedit and modify some registry keys. Specifically, under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com\Games\1207664643
I modified the SAVEGAMEFOLDER value with the data G:\Documents\The Witcher 3\. I did this for the SAVEGAMEFOLDER values for both DLC's I own as well
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com\Games\1430743168
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\GOG.com\Games\1441355562
I restarted my machine, started The Witcher 3, and the game still decided to create the C:\Users\slyry\Documents\The Witcher 3 folder and put gamesaves there. Has anyone found a solution to what I'm trying to achieve? Thanks!
