Jedi Fallen Order not detected? [solved: admin vs user]

Post by netjeff »

GameSave Manager does not seem to be detecting Jedi Fallen Order on my system.

I can see that there are saves in %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Respawn\JediFallenOrder
which is the typical location per https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_ ... a_location

GameSaveManager
version 3.1.507.0
database 9.2022-01-17_01
running as Admin

Fallen Order is not shown in the list of detected games in the Backup section.

Full re-scan does not find it.

I figured out the problem. My day-to-day user account is "Jeff", and then I have a separate account "Admin" that has administrative privileges. So when running GameSave Manager it was running as "Admin" and looking in "C:\users\admin\Saved Games", which of course did not have any saves in it.

Once I knew what the problem was, I found this Dec 2020 thread on the same topic:
How to backup saves and settings of non admin user account on windows 10?

Following these instructions to remove the admin privilege and re-running, now it's finding the game (and many more, too)
