i did exactly as i was told but the problem still remains. I also reinstalled the game but nothing. I also tried to save a custom map and there was an error message telling me that it cannot be saved.

As you are running now as administrator, delete the folder named "SANCTUS" in your Windows documents folder:
...\Documents\My Games\SANCTUS
...\Documents\My Games\SANCTUS

It sounds like your My Games folder is protected. You may need to delete it (if that is practical) and re-create. Otherwise you could try and change the permissions to allow the game to write to it. I am not sure how the folder could have gotten its permissions changed though.

Well that we can't tell, but it's some thing related with your system, otherwise most of the other players would be experiencing this.Alucardos wrote:

Instead of deleting just rename "My Games" folder as "_My Games". Later you can copy the other games folders to the new folder which will be created as soon as your run the game.
