Paths not being written correctly; can't save my game as a result
I'm on Windows 7 Professional, using Battle for Wesnoth version 1.14.2 via Steam.
By default, my "My Documents" and "Steam" folders are not in their usual places, because of how I have my hard drives configured. As a result, the game wasn't able to properly locate most of the game's paths, though it did create the folders just fine.
My Documents is located in "D:\Documents\"
Steam is located in "D:\Steam for Windows\"
Game's root folder is "D:\Steam for Windows\steamapps\common\wesnoth\"
Paths and libraries are as follows:
Additionally, I get an error (which I believe is related), whenever loading the game or attempting (and failing) to install any addon:
Additionally, Addons always report that their installed version is "0.0.0" instead of the version I attempted to install, and cannot be found actually installed anywhere on my computer.
I would like to add that the folder "D:\saves" that the saves path is pointing to does not exist in that location, but rather under "D:\Documents\My Games\Wesnoth1.14\saves\"
I did not experience this issue when playing Battle for Wesnoth 1.12 with the same configuration on the same computer. If there is a way to manually correct the paths used, I could use that as a fix for this problem rather than needing to wait for a fix in the code; so, please let me know.
