"A new version of OpenCAGE is available" loop #79

Reproduction steps:

  1. Download the latest version (0.9.2.8) of OpenCAGE from https://github.com/MattFiler/OpenCAGE/releases/tag/0.9.2.8
  2. Click "Edit Configurations"
  3. Receive image error message (note this particular screenshot is using the staging release, but the behavior is the same with master)
  4. Click OK, updater tries to download a new version of OpenCAGE (ends up with the same executable)
  5. Repeat, cannot use tool

Additional Information: I'm not sure what's going wrong here. Even when I disconnect the internet connection, I still get prompted to update, and can't find a way to disable this behavior.

I'm able to reproduce this under Wine in Linux, as well as a new Windows 11 VM

Hey, please check that your Alien: Isolation directory is writable - this process is downloading the OpenCAGE components into your A:I directory, so it's possible that it's failing to write to the DATA folder.

Additionally - where is your OpenCAGE.exe located? Is it in the game root?

Hi, thanks for the suggestions!

It's weird, OpenCAGE is able to successfully create asseteditor, legendplugin, and scripteditor within C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Alien Isolation\DATA\MODTOOLS\REMOTE_ASSETS. The tool then deletes the updater, and relaunches itself. But the configeditor directory is missing, along with cinematictools.

Anyway, as a workaround, I was able to manually download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenCAGE/AlienConfigEditor/master/Build/AlienConfigEditor.exe into REMOTE_ASSETS/configeditor, and now everything's working as it should. Totally possible this was just an issue with my VM hard drive setup or something.

Good to hear, thanks for the follow up. I will investigate potential causes, but glad you've got it sorted in the meantime.

If you encounter the issue again with any future updates, please re-open and I'll bump up the priority!
