[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1803983, member: 110816"] If you know which folder is used, then you can create a folder with that name in the /Library folder and link that to every user's Library folder. This would mean that all the users will access the same data and as long as they are doing it at different times, that should be fine. The commands would be: [CODE] $ cd /Library $ sudo mkdir <folder> $ cd /Users $ cd <username>/Library $ ln -s /Library/<folder> . [/CODE] <folder> here is whatever that game data folder happens to be and you would repeat the last 3 commands for every <username> on your system. As always, know what you are doing with the commands and triple-check that you are doing all of this in the right place. You are responsible for breaking anything. [/QUOTE]
