Issue Title: Unable to join friends game

Issue Description: Both myself and my friend have tried hosting a game: For the host the game loads and plays fine. For the person trying to join this message appears EVERY time.

WARNING

[string "scripts/saveindex.lua"]:118: SaveIndex:GetSaveData: Load failed for file [client_temp/server_save] Please try joining again.

LUA ERROR stack traceback:

scripts/gamelogic.lua:919 in (local) complete_callback (LUA) <911-920>

No matter which one of us hosts the game we get this error message. I added my computer to the DMZ on my firewall to see if that would help - but no change.

Once we get the message the game has already crashed - no steam screenshot is available because of this. I meticulously typed this from a normal PC screenshot, in hopes someone could tell me what is wrong, or resolve it.

Steps to Reproduce: Just try to join a game.

It's not a fix, but I think I figured out where MY problem lies and it may be the same for you. I don't have administrator control on this computer and my "My Documents" folder is set to read only and I cannot change this setting. If there was some way to redirect / choose the folder that save files are placed in the problem should be resolved. I haven't seen / found a way to change the directory path and am unsure what it would take to allow for this customization so that I could play.

Okay, so I'm not a techie but I'll explain it the best way I can. I found that the Kleis folder was saving directly into my C: drive rather than My Documents. I basically went to My Documents, Properties and then Location and hit restore default. I imagine this could be caused for a number of reasons for other people, but for me it was the fact that anything that was supposed to be saved to my documents was going into my C: Drive, which I imagine my game didn't think to look in that location for, since it is supposed to be in My Documents. Hope this helps.

 

Oh, and just for the sake of it, when I made the fix above, I then uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Don't know if that will make a difference, just thought I would let you all know exactly what worked for me.
