Can't Save in Custom Stories - zdmshadow - 10-15-2011

As the title says, I can't save in custom stories. There isn't even a save & exit option on the pause menu; just an exit option. This happens with all custom stories that I've tried. I can play custom stories that are launched with a .bat file fine, just not custom stories through the game itself. I googled it, and the only solution I found was to make sure the saves folder wasn't read-only, which it isn't. Can anyone help? I have the steam version of the game.

Try this: Open the file main_settings.cfg located at (My) Documents/Amnesia/Main. Make sure ExitMenuDirectly is set to false.

It worked! Thanks! One question though: is this normally set to true by default, and, if so, does everyone have to set it to false? I've never seen it mentioned before.

It is usually "false" by default. This page is pretty much the culprit as to why anyone would want to change it to "true": http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/devenvguide

That explains it; I'm pretty sure I had these problems before I created a dev_user, though, but that doesn't matter anymore. Thanks for the help!
