Steam save files not loading

[Fealty]

Can someone help me out?  I built a new computer recently and had to install steam and Pillars 2.

 

Game starts fine but my continue button is greyed out.

 

Windows 10 

Game is installed to -

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pillars of Eternity II

 

 

I see my save files in 

 

C:\Users\Eric\Saved Games\PillarsofEternityII

 

Which is odd cause I have an empty folder right above it 

 

C:\Users\Eric\Saved Games\Pillars of Eternity II

 

I copied my game files to the empty folder and even ran steam as administrator... Still no juju

 

Lastly I see no errors trying to read the game file in the output.log, in fact, I don't even see it try to read it...

 

Keep in mind this is a fresh windows 10 environment with steam and pillars my first game install on it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

start a new game and make a save, check the two folders you mentioned before , if it appear in the empty folder, copy all the other saves in that folder.

Likely the path is changed due a different installer.
in case this doesn't work could be a bug.

If you aren't able to solve you can try that  but make a backup in case you will be able to restore the achievements

Worked, I made a character with a new name then saved. Found where saves are stored and copied my game files to that location.

 

I had to copy the global achievements file as well to get Bereth's blessings to show.

 

Thank you for your help.
