I was able to get it working with the experimental build and adding the command to Steam Launch Options (didn't work by default). Manual and autosave seem to be working as-intended. Thanks for taking the time to work this out.

It would probably have to involve symbolic links (junctions), but I'm afraid I'll end up breaking more than I fix. May just have to wait for a later build. Chris, is there a switch I can throw in a batch file to force the game to look at a local location for the Saves folder rather than the default? I'm assuming it's pulling the path during launch, and if I could just override that.......

Chris, Thanks for your reply. I switched to the debug branch and launched (says development build in the lower right corner) ...it crashed in the same spot. I believe I see the problem...I have a non-conventional path to My Documents: \\server\share\profile\Documents\My Games\Xenonauts 2. It's having troubles parsing the folder, giving an INITIAL CRASH fatal error. The output.log file states the saves folder is not found, even though I can navigate to it and confirm it exists. I'm assuming something in the logic is looking for a local/UNC path instead of a shared path? Anyway, it's pretty clear that's where it's failing. I'll see if I can 'trick it.'

I just purchased the Early Release today, and it seems I can't launch the game at all. I have a fairly simple system, Windows 11 w/ AMD Radeon 580X. When launching the game (via steam or explorer), the helicopter splash screen is displayed and the bar progresses to 86%...then just drops back to the desktop. I have updated adrenaline drivers, tried 3 different 'flavors' of beta version in Steam, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted all local files (in Steam Library and My Games folder), etc. It always dies in the same place. I've also gone into the json display file and set fullscreen to 'false' and manually set a lower resolution than my monitor's native...the game now launches in a smaller, windowed mode, but still crashes. This seems like a simple game...not sure why I can't at least get past the splash screen.
