The path under Windows is C:\Users\"Your user name"\AppData\Local\Temp it will create a folder that starts with nw and a bunch of numbers. AppData is hidden by default so you might have to hunt for it. You can grab that folder and copy it somewhere else and run the game from the new location and it won't have to extract it each time.
Hi, thanks for the help!
I found the AppData\Local\Temp directory, but the nw... folder doesn't look like it's here either. I even searched the Temp folder for "nw" and it didn't find it.
I guess this is why the game isn't loading? It's hanging while trying to create that temp folder? Maybe there's a write permission I need to set somewhere to allow it to create the directory?
EDIT x2:
I tried extracting the files again and overwriting the original files that were extracted. This time when I ran the exe, a folder was created in the Temp folder - two of them actually. One actually called "The_College" and the "nw2120...". The first one isn't in Temp, it's a level up in Local.
That said, it still isn't opening the game itself. I opened the app about 3 minutes ago, and it's still hanging. Though I will let it run to see if it just takes a long time on the first load...
