As you know the saved games files are defaulted to C:/ My documents. I need to move these to another drive. But naturally, the folders are remade and the saved game path remains the same. So I not only need to move the folders I need to change the path, which means editing a file. I know that's generallly frowned upon but this isn't a huge edit. Anyway, does anybody know what file the path is contained in? and where I can find it? Thanks

Saved games are stored in My Documents > Starcraft II > Accounts > some numbers > some more numbers > Saves and they're also stored in battle.net.

Sorry but you asked for a file path so that's how I understood the question. If you're looking to move where the games are saved to by default, the easiest way to do this is to create a symbolic link.

I think he wants to redirect what file path the game grabs his saves from.

Maybe it wasn't clear?

I need Starcraft to save my games to another drive.
By default SC saves them to C:/ My documents
I need to change the pathing so SC saves and reads my games from "another drive"
To do this i need to edit the file that contains this path.
Does anyone know if such a file exists? And where it is located?

Thank you, any help would be appreciated!
