F Secure is stopping me from saving games

bosseye

Hi

I have recently started having a new problem with a game called city skylines where I save the game, but the save games don't get created.

I have spoken to the support team for the game and despite excluding city skylines and the support folders from F-Secure they have asked me to contact you as the F-Secure protection is still getting in the way

This is the error message they have found in the output log of the game which is causing the issue

UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\Users\a1211\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\continue_game.json" is denied.

Any Ideas on how to fix it?

Many thanks

I'm sure somebody more technical will be along to help soon, but in the meantime, could you just clarify that you don't have any other security software on the machine?

Also, it might be worth submitting the file to the labs, then they can whitelist it if safe:

I have windows defender as well but its exempt from that too. The support said specifically F Secure
