Bannerlord Will Not Install to Correct Folder

It sounds like the issue you're experiencing may be related to the permissions set on the XboxGames folder. In order to ensure that the game installs to the correct folder, you may need to adjust the folder permissions to allow the Xbox PC App to write to that folder.

To do this, you can try the following steps:

1. Right-click on the XboxGames folder and select "Properties."
   
2. Click on the "Security" tab.
   
3. Click on "Edit" to change the permissions.
   
4. Click on "Add" to add a new user or group.
   
5. Enter "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" in the object name field and click "Check Names" to confirm it is a valid entry.
   
6. Click "OK" to add the user or group.
   
7. Select the new user or group from the list and give it "Full Control" permissions.
   
8. Click "OK" to save the changes.
   

Once you've made these changes, try reinstalling the game and see if it installs to the correct folder. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you may need to contact Xbox support again or seek further assistance from a Windows or IT professional.

Hi, I'm , an Independent advisor and I can surely help you.

Don't worry we will work on this together. May I know are you installing the game from the Game Pass?

Thank you for replying, but I need help with the Bannerlord folder itself. No matter what I do it will not open or locate the folder it installed to. When I try to open it from the Game settings on Game Pass, I click it and it does nothing.

I've tried opening it from taskmanager, Treesize, run, everything. It acts like it does not exist. I can see it is installed on the C: drive, but it's folder is completely hidden. No other game that I have installed has ever done this.

I would ignore microsoft support in general. They're pretty useless. The reason you can't find it is because the gamepass version uses a different file system than Steam. Game pass version does not have a direct installation location as it seems they split the game files into multiple folders that are conglomerated together with a launcher file. The closest you'll get to an actual game file is (install drive) >Xbox Games>Mount & Blade II-Bannerlord>Content>gamelaunchhelper

on the directory that they're installed correct? currently when i go into that appdata folder theres only a single game file in there for a game not on game pass?
