PTR 1.35 - Custom Campaigns inaccessible with OneDrive?

PTR Discussion and Bug Report

Hello. I installed the PTR client through the launcher. When I open the client and navigate to Custom Campaigns, I see the following message:

Note the path provided:
C:\Users\jaked\OneDrive\Documents\Warcraft III Public Test\Campaigns

When place custom campaign files into that directory and launch the game again, this time I receive a blank version of that message (with no path) and there are no campaigns detected. Also, at this point many of the menu noises and buttons stop working (Exit Game for example does nothing, I have to force quit the client).

I’ve tried removing this file path from OneDrive, but all that does is delete the files locally. And the folder is simply created again (without the campaign files) the next time I launch Reforged.

Is there any way to tell the Reforged client to look in a different location for the files? Or any other way to get around this issue?

You need to set a different folder as your user’s Document’s folder. The game will always store its user data in the Document’s folder designated for your windows user account.
