I really hate it if games or applications pile up things into my system hard drive. So far MWO was very nice in that way, that it kept all user data and screenshots in the installation folder.

Now you changed that. I really dislike this change. For those users that don't want the game saving everything to the system hard drive please add an option to change the Default game save folder.

Where did my USER folder go?

We changed the location of the USER folder to minimize the amount of writing that was being performed to those files when they were originally located in the system-level directory.
This is the first step toward streamlining our accordance with the User Account Control system.


Okay, but why can't I just determine the location of the USER folder myself?

Going forward we are going to be ensuring that we adhere to the 'Best Practices' policies that are in place for Windows as much as possible.
These changes will not only reduce the need for things like UAC prompts and Admin rights, but will help ensure that install-related issues are minimized.
