How to fix error creating profiles folder

• This error is identified by a message such as "Could not create directory: ?/Larian StudiosBaldur's Gate 3".

• Then, relaunch the game (close and reopen it), and try again.
• If the problem persists, go to your Windows protection. Unless you have a special program activated, in most cases this means that you must type Windows Security in the search engine.
• Once there, you need to go to Virus & Threat Protection> Manage ransomware protection (at the bottom of the window).
• There, look for the option Allow an application to access one of the controlled folders.
• If you are not in an administrator session, it will ask you for administrator permissions.
• In the new window, you simply need to give the Baldur's Gate 3 application permissions to access the shared folder (it should be Bg3.exe).
• Close the game, reapply all antivirus and protections that you may have disabled to carry out this action, and launch the game again and the problem should have been solved.
