I can't figure out how to change the saved games folder

[smm1963]

I've been playing Europa Universalis for years. Never had a problem. I ran in to a computer problem last week and had to reset my pc. Now the game will only load and save game files from a onedrive online storage folder and not from my hard drive. I have no idea how it got switched. When I disconected the online folder and reinstalled Europa the game wouldn't load because it said it couldn't find the data drive. How can I switch it back to using just my pc hard drive location? Any help is gratefully appreciated. Is there an actual help desk I can contact or is this the place. Thanks

EU4 usually uses the folder which is configured as the Documents folder on your system. Are you actually using OneDrive for something? If not, you could deactivate it completely. Or you could try to change the configuration of your Documents folder. Or you might be able to configure the eu4 data folder by changing the launcher configuration, but I don't know if this still works.

If you installed Windows 11, it does that by default I believe. It's nothing to do with this game as such! As grotaclas says it just follows what Windows is set up as.
