Hmm, with so few information, it's really hard to know what can be the issue.
Take a look at this and try to see if it solve the issue.

Looks like it dosnt work. The problem is it wont save in the %appdata% folder under roaming-renpy. The game comes up but the folder is empty. Some games work others dont. I have also tried downloading from a different browser.
3 of the 4 games that i have tried downloading works but Evermore dosnt want to save the progress. Same has happend with some other games that i have deleted.

Hmmm. I just tried, and the game correctly save in the %APPDATA% folder.

And, of course, the fact that it works with some games, but not with others, is the weirdest part here. Would it be the in game save that is the issue, it would make sense, but that it's the %APPDATA% one make none. The game rely on one of the currently most used Ren'Py branch (7.4.x) that share the same load/save code. The issue would happen way more often if it was a code issue.

Attempt to save, then after closing the game soon after, share the log. If the game encountered any issue while saving, it will be written there.

This might be a stupid question, but how do i share the log after closing the game. Where do i find it?
Thanks for your attention:)
