The reason is simple. I installed a fresh new SSD into my PC (Apacer AS350 Panther 512 GB since my motherboard doesn't support NVMe's) because the old one (Crucial 240 GB) is almost full, and then shortly after installed DDLC in it with Salvation Remake. When I wanted to save, I got an error which postulates that the saving system couldn't find a save folder
Here is the full error message:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:

Since I don't know jack shit in technology (my technological ineptness is rivaled only by Rin Tohsaka), I want to know how to fix this issue
(don't know if asking this is allowed, but I hope it is)
