Actually, this has already been fixed in the latest version :)
it seems like it was tried to be fixed, but this was all tested on 1.8.3
Huh, weird, I can't seem to reproduce this, as it seems fixed for me... If possible could you run Viper in a command prompt and copy the error in it's entirety, as it seems slightly cut off, which is a different bug entirely.
It just consists of typing the full path to the .exe
in a command prompt and it'll work, let me know if you need further help with running it there.
This is the entirety of what it wrote, for reproducing make sure you remove at least both the mods
and packages
folder if you weren't doing that
I also tried again while removing all other Northstar related files to make sure it wasn't something there, and it happened again, but just doing mods
and packages
removal lets you see the error come up before the folder appears in the directory
If this can't be replicated on your end, I can record a video showing it
Ah, I think this might be a Windows thing (I'm a Linux user), can you try this portable .exe
and see if it fixes it, if so I'll have a fix out soon.
Using the portable exe gave the same error
Hmm, tried quickly to run it in a Windows VM, and I still, really cant find a way to reproduce this... very weird...
While I don't think this'll fix it, it's worth a go, can you try and download and attempt to reproduce it with this build
oh, no that actually did it
no error
i will try a few more times to confirm it wasnt a one off thing
Assuming that was the fix, then I'll be closing this, as this is now patched in v1.8.4, released moments ago.
Describe the bug Many users in the Discord server have been confused with an error on Viper recently
When the
mods
directory exists butpackages
doesn't, Viper gives the error properly and hittingInstall
creates apackages
folder, which fixes it.When
mods
andpackages
both don't exist (or a clean install), Viper installs/reinstalls Northstar (as it should), but it then gives an error (while installing Northstar) saying that thepackages
folder can't be found. If you watch the directory while you install, this is because it first extracts themods
folder properly, then waits a bit before making thepackages
directory, causing it to trigger the "no packages directory" error before the folder gets madeTo Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
packages
andmods
directory don't exist)Expected behavior Viper downloads Northstar without giving an error about a missing directory that in fact exists

Version: Newest, downloaded from https://0negal.github.io/viper/ right before testing
Additional Info Something that Viper does causes it to create the
packages
folder after the check is done, therefore causing it to freak out and think it doesn't exist, before creating the folder properly, and letting you play
