I'm redownloading Stellaris after a bit of a hiatus, purchased it through Steam and running it on Windows 10. Now, every other game I have, and I have a lot of them, runs perfectly fine, from Subnautica to it's predecessor to the Elder Scrolls single player games (because the online version is crap and expensive) to the Fallout series (Minus, again, the online crap) to Star Wars and Star Trek to Mass Effect series.... You get the picture.
I am getting a persistent stonewall and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to fix it. Mind, I'm not computer genius, I know where the power button and retractable cup holder is and I insist people speak to me in my native tongue, Potato.
"Access Error to Game Data ! We don't have read/write access to the directory with game data. Please contact support."
Now, I've contacted support, it wasn't very instructive or supportive. Then I joined the Discord, which is about as useful as a glass hammer... So, I turned to the masses of Google in hopes of a solution. And low and behold, there were solutions.... just none that worked.
I've done everything from running Steam in administrator mode to deleting the Launcher 2 files to deleting the game and redownloading it to running every application file I could possibly find in the game directory as administrator to deleting the document files and reloading the game to standing on my head with a voodoo doll of the Paradox emblem and giving it a sacrifice of sausage and bacon to pleading to the old Norse Gods of Grey Aliens and their UFO temples.
Please, someone, anyone, please give me a solution that I can both understand and thank you for when it works.
