Greetings,
It happens that at home, we can't save screenshots in ESO when a specific user account is logged in. To be as clear as I can, I'm not talking about a game account but about a windows username. The thing is, the username has a special character
small i acute - í
And that special character isn't recognised by ESO. I've tested it with another user account, it works. The game only has issues saving a screenshot when this particular account, which is the only one that has a non standard character in its name. Basically, ESO cannot write to "<username>Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\Screenshots" because of that special character. When using "<DifferentUserNameWithoutSpecialCharacter>\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\Screenshots", it works.
Since changing both a user name and user data file name in Windows 10 is a hassle (to say the least...), we basically have 2 choices :
- Create a new user profile, import everything, set everything up again, and so on... Gonna take a day or two, likely, and quite an annoyance just to be able to take an occasionnal screenshot.
- Find a way to tell ESO where to save screenshots.
Simply put, I need to change the default path for ESO to save screenshots. How do I do that ? It's nowhere to be found in the game options, and if it's in some .ini file, I haven't found it.
Thanks.
