PoB have a feature to customize Build save path in Options window.

After I'm customizing build path and clicking Save button my customized path saved successfully and I can work with my builds.

PoB detects new path

PoB actual folder

That thing works fine.

BUT when I restart programm my customized path is disappear

Same here. Very annoying

@LocalIdentity Any updates/confirmations/etc?

This issue occurs even when starting the app elevated as an admin, so the old workaround suggestion from https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/issues/1713 is not working.

What folder path is PoB actually installed into? My guess is your folder path has unicode characters PoB has issues with, and when it tries to save your Settings.xml it fails because of the folder path.

dananichev commented 3 years ago

Sadly, it is not (installation directory is "C:\Users\a\AppData\Roaming\Path of Building Community\Path of Building.exe" "C:\Users\a\AppData\Roaming\Path of Building Community\Launch.lua").

How about where your Settings.xml is? Make sure that file is writable as well. I just ran a fresh install with the installer and mine is in C:\Users\a\Documents\Path of Building (and changing the save path works fine). If everything looks good there, perhaps make a backup of your builds, remove PoB and the related folders, and try a reinstall, see if that fixes it.

I have no idea where Settings.xml is. I just clicked a bunch of times "Next" using installer located at Releases page here. C:\Users\a\Documents\Path of Building has no Settings.xml file inside.

I have no idea where the Settings.xml gets saved. I've reinstalled about 3-4 times now to different paths, but each time there is no Settings.xml file inside the PoB folder. When I check the default save location inside PoB, it is inside my OneDrive\Documents folder, which does contain unicode.

@dananichev @OleBueker Did you guys ever get this worked out? It could be contained within %AppData%/PathOfBuilding. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this issue, so I may have to close it

I do have a AppData\Roaming\Path of Building Community folder, but that does not contain a Settings.xml file.

My Path of Building is installed to D:\Path of Building Community and looks like this: grafik I don't see a Settings.xml file there unfortunately.

grafik That's how my build save path looks like inside Path of Building - those question marks should Korean characters.
