Hi,
I bought Darwinia on Steam under Vista x64 Home Premium French.
I created a profile but it does not seem to work: After I restart the game, I always come back in english with only the garden available.
There is no "users" directory in the "steam/steamapps/darwinia" folder. Creating one by hand does not help.
The strange thing is that with the demo, the profile saves without problem in "steam/steamapps/darwinia demo". There is a "users" folder in it :/
Thanks for helping me here :/
No profile saved on Vista

Found the bug, thanks to you.
Under Vista, Savegames are by default under "C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games" like you said.
But for my home folder, I use specific drive and my savegame are under "H:\Saved Games". I moved this folder the Microsoft way (right click on the Saved Games folder, click Properties then click the Location tab) so it shoudl be supported.
By creating a fake "C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games" and running Darwinia, my profile is saved.
I'll send this report to the devs, I hope they release a patch to fix it.

Sadly enough almost 3 years later, it hasn't been fixed and hasn't been added to the FAQ :/
Well, now it's four and a half years later and the bug still exists in the version I got on Steam during the Humble Introversion Bundle sale. I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit. I too moved all my user profile folders off C and onto another drive (G) and Darwinia was not saving my profile or games. I created the folder as analogue described and it started saving. Thank you.
Darwinia devs, please get on and fix this one! Not everyone's user folders are in the default location!

Disabling UAC doesn't solve this bug
Please finish reading the thread before replying to someone who probably isn't even reading any longer. It was known in 2011 that turning off UAC doesn't solve the problem, and a workaround that should actually work was given. Have you tried that? Do you have anything new to add to the topic? Or are you just trying to get a reaction?
