    You have to change your user path, that’s an option in the launcher. Change it to an existing folder, on an existing drive.

    Currently it’s trying to find your user folder on a non-existent drive.

    Go to the beam folder, and find the startup thing, you can change it there too, it’s called like “startup.something” you can manually change it there. if you can’t find it,or it doesn’t work, I would recommend asking a staff member for help, as I am currently not at a computer.

    Go in the game's folder, and find the 'startup.ini' file.
    Open that with notepad, and you should see your old path at line 6.
    Either adjust the path, or leave it empty as shown below and the game will use the usual Documents folder:
