V1.0 Save Games in Program Folder?

The save games are now stored in a newly created "Program" folder in drive C:.
Since I have a German system, there is now a "Programme" and "Program" folder next to each other and Windows complains about this every time I restart.
Can't you put the save games back into AppRoaming - is that possible?

 
They already save to appdata/roaming/7daystodie by default, check your game launcher and see if you have startup arguments pointing the save folder elsewhere

The only reason they'd be placed somewhere other than AppData is if you are setting a User Data Folder.  And if it's going to C:\Program\, then it means that whatever User Data Folder you are setting it to was done without quotation marks or apostrophes around the path (so C:\Program Files\ becomes C:\Program because you can't have spaces in the path without using quotation marks or apostrophes).  Note that whether you use quotation marks or apostrophes varies based on what you're doing and they aren't interchangeable.

The User Data Folder is set either in Steam (right click the game and choose properties), in the shortcut, or in serverconfig.xml.  If you are using a mod manager, it may be setting the folder as well (and doing so incorrectly, causing spaces to be a problem).

This is caused by the Vortex mod manager, which is a mess and should not be used with 7 Days to Die.
Uninstall all the mods that Vortex installed, delete any folder references in the manager and then
delete Vortex.
