How to Fix Spider-Man Remastered Not Saving “Warning directory creation failed”

Is Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered not saving?

Are you getting a “Warning directory creation failed” error?

Or the “Save operation could not be completed, progress will not be saved” error?

If you’re in the game, you need to manually save it first.

After you’ve manually saved your progress, you can try turning off “Controlled folder access” and whitelisting the game in your AntiVirus.

You can also try to create a new user account on Windows and make it an administrator.

• Fix 1: Save the game manually
• Fix 2: Turn off “Controlled folder access”
• Fix 3: Whitelist the game in your Firewall
• Fix 4: Create a new user account
