F.E.A.R. Extraction Point (PC) Part 2 - Game Time Live

Last episode I had an issue with being able to livestream directly from the game application. I was able to resolve this issue as well as another issue I had with EchoPatch.

Background Details:
The original issue I had was FEAR was not able to read or write saves while EchoPatch was applied. I had ran the game in adminstrator mode and used a launch command to force saving to a new directory.

Turns out while this game is running in administrator mode, OBS is unable to stream/record from it directly unless you set OBS to administrator mode too.

The source the problem turned out to be a conflict between EchoPatch mod and Windows Defender's "Controlled folder access" function. Vanilla FEAR does not have this conflict. But you can add the FEAR app to the permitted apps list to get everything working or you can turn the controlled folder access function off.
I posted the details on how to address this issue on GitHub here: https://github.com/Wemino/EchoPatch/issues/32#issuecomment-2795371534

To that end, I also fixed an issue with OBS not being able to save recordings. So it needs the same solution.

In short, add FEAR, its expansions, and OBS to the permitted apps list or turn the controlled folder access function off. Then FEAR with EchoPatch installed and OBS will work normally.
