Game Pass game's save location?

CrazyCaboose009 · Jul 7, 2022

I am trying to play Phoenix Point but it keeps getting "An error has occurred while writing" when i try to save or load. when i start the game, it works just fine for a while then i cant make progress b/c i cant save after it starts doing this.
I need to find the location of the save so i can try re-installing the game.

I found something under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\SnapshotGames.PhoenixPoint_xxvrk32m0sthm
But there isn't any sav file here. i found a .dat file but im fairly sure that isnt for save data. plus i have more than a few save files, so there should be a list of them not just one file.

I was checking the picture, it seems you opened powershell without admin privileges

Ignoring the window color, if you check. It's saying "PS C:/Windows/system32"

Try again but double check this, you can open powershell as administrator too pressing the Windows key and then type powershell > right click on it

I switch all xbox functions to automatic; gaming service was already set to automatic.
I restarted my PC and i am atleast logged into the xbox app now, but it still gets an error downloading. It doesnt get past acquiring license.

If you have installed the game on the C: drive, you should look for the saved data in this path:

C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\Packages\[App ID]\LocalCache

Other paths from C: drive are these ones:

C:\Users\[Username]\Saved Games

C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local

C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\roaming

If you installed the game on D: drive or anything different to C:

[Drive where you installed the game]\WpSystem\[Some ID]\AppData\Local\Packages\[App ID]\LocalCache\

It's in some sub folder of LocalCache

Try searching on those paths to see if you are able to find the Phoenix Point game.

That's very strange, buddy could you try creating a new local user on your PC and see if you're able to install and open a new game there?

By the way, if you go to windows settings and go to installed apps, are you able to see the gaming services app?
