I am trying to finish my loadGame function, but getWritePath is returning the wrong directory.

Here is the real folder that is written to:
C:\Users\kako_\AppData\Local\AGKApps\Warlordocracy\media

Unfortunately, the getWritePath commnd is returning this:
C:/Users/kako_/AppData/Local/AGKApps/windows/Warlordocracy

I'm using Windows 10. I can't find anything about it on the forums, and I really need this to work cross-platform. Thanks for any help you can give.

Ah, yeah, you're right. Thanks.

EDIT: Still having a problem loading files from the write path (loading from the game folder works fine). The help files say that forward slashes work on every platform. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT #2: Also, here is the code I am using:
path$ = getWritePath() + "media/" + filename$ + ".gam"

I still haven't been able to make the default write path work, but I discovered something even better: the setRawWritePath command, so I can save files in the game folder like God intended. So it's working fine now, at least on Windows. It will be a problem when I try getting it to work on iOS, though.

You need to prefix those filenames with "raw:"
