Issues fixed

The Banner Saga 1 save game not automatically detected and imported

Create folder path manually

The Banner Saga 2 expects your Banner Saga 1 save game to be at this location:

%appdata%\TheBannerSaga\Local Store\save\saga1\X\save.json

Afterwards, move your save data into this folder.

Notes

X should be any number between 0 and 4. If the folders do not exist, create them.
