Required Checks

• I have ensured that I meet the system requirements before submitting a report.
• I have followed the troubleshooting guides from the SA Mod Manager wiki and they did not resolve my issue.

Please provide information on the bug you're experiencing below.

Reproduction Instructions:

1. Make a totally fresh SA2 install, or otherwise fully delete your resource/gd_PC/SAVEDATA folder
2. Do not ever launch the vanilla game, but instead launch with a mod enabled which does include Redirect Main Save, but does not include Redirect Chao Save.
3. Upon attempting to enter the Chao World for the first time, the game will pop up a message saying "File not loaded!". Upon leaving, it will always fail to save the Chao World data, and the resource/gd_PC/SAVEDATA will never be created.

From what I can tell, this seems to be a result of changes the Redirect Main Save feature makes. Somehow, the game's logic to create the resource/gd_PC/SAVEDATA directory if it does not exist is entirely missed, resulting in these issues. Subsequently switching back to the vanilla game following getting into this state also seems to cause weird issues with creating normal game save files, but this behavior is less explored, so I cannot provide much detail for that.
