I have a problem with Dying Light on Windows 10. When I try to start the game it says "cannot write in game folder. You don't have write permission."  I've tried pretty much everything, changing the security settings, disabling onedrive.... nothing works... Also, when I try to play Resident Evil HD Remaster, it stucks at creating a save file. And with Batman Arkham Knight, I play it, and the next time I start the game there are no save files.. Please help.

    It should work. Be sure to apply the modification on folders and subfolders, too. It's easy to miss a step.

    I had this problem and could solve it this way.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    Please answer the question.

    -How did you try to change security settings?

    Please follow the steps and check if it helps.

    1. Right click on the file/folder and click on **Properties**.
2. Click on **Security**, check **Owner should be "SYSTEM" i**n

    Advance tab. 3. Check the users you signed into windows as (should be your Microsoft account) should be in the "Permissions entries" list with "Full Contol" 4. If not, Add the user you are logged in as. 5. All the folders and sub-folders below should be "owned" by the user you are logged into windows with importantly, have a permissions entry for "full control" 6. Check for all the related folder where you are getting same error, but for some reason that same user is missing a "Permission Entry".  Add a "full control" entry for the user and you should be able to save to that folder and all sub-folders.

    Hope this helps. Please reply if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.
