Solved: 8 Years, 8 Months, 1 Week ago my game wont save, custom stories either.. what do i do?
I restarted playing the game but every time that I press continue it brings me to the last map with alexander and the portal.

every time I start a custom story and then press save and exit to main menu, when I come back to play it again it only says start and cancel instead of start, cancel, load and continue.

ive tried every thing even uninstalling the game several times.

thanks for the help...

Perhaps some permissions are preventing the game from writing to the Documents folder. Have you tried running the game as administrator?

Had a similiar issue when I switched on Windows 8.1. Running the game as administrator helped for me.

Method 1: Temporary Admin
- Right click the Amnesia.exe located in its install location
Retail: C:\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\redist\
Steam:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\
- Click "Run as Administrator".

The game will run as an admin for that session.

------------

Method 2: Always Admin
- Right click the Amnesia.exe located in its install location
Retail: C:\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\redist\
Steam:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Amnesia - The Dark Descent\
- Select Properties
- Under the compatibility tab, tick the "Run this program as an administrator."
- Apply.

Now the game will run as an admin every time.

Are your custom stories launched from within Amnesia not saving correctly? Or are they full conversion mods?
