SOMA won't save

[Romulator]

Sounds to me like you don't have the necessary permissions to save the game.

Go to SOMA's steam folder (C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/SOMA/), right click Soma.exe and go to its properties and tick "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab.



If it is a permissions error, the above should fix it.

If you're lucky, you may be able to recover some of your saves by doing the following steps.

1. Hold the Windows Key and press R. This will bring up the "Run" window.
   
2. Excluding the quotes but keep the percentages, type "%localappdata%" This will bring up an Explorer window.
   
3. Scroll down to the VirtualStore folder.
   
4. Your saves will be located somewhere in there. Likely in a directory like "Documents/My Games/SOMA/Main/<steam_user>/"
   

Saves are stored at C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\My Games\Soma\Main\<steam_user>\

If they are in the VirtualStore folder, copy the saves into your <steam_user> folder.
