I have a special configuration where my documents are stored on a network drive. This setup exists for various reasons, but I’m not changing it. My EA games like Dead Space and Dragon Age Veilguard sometimes fail to save or function properly, which might be linked to this location. I’m not sure if access permissions are the issue, but none of my other games have the same problem. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

If saving to a network drive isn't working, explore symbolic links instead.

They are focusing on absolute paths since relative ones don't work. It seems symbolic links might be useful here, or they could be using automatic backups between local and network drives.
