Yes, is that what's causing it? It's never been a problem before

If you guys need help, go to the #pc-help in the BSMG.

I've always had ModAssitant.exe on my desktop for easy access but as soon as I moved it to another location it worked again. It's pretty weird but this fixed it for me.

I moved it to my games folder which is on my other disk, not my system disk. Don't know if disk location matter but that fixed it

I'm having the same issue. I've tried all of the suggested tips but the problem seems to be with BSIPA. As soon as I uninstall it the game works fine but with it the game will not even attempt to start and give the same error message as above. Hopefully we can get a fix on this, I blame the BeatSaber devs for updating their game every 2 minutes.

Once again, go to #pc-help in the BSMG discord.

Either it can't write or read the config file or your config file is just corrupted.

Simply downloading the latest release and replacing the old ModAssistant.exe file with that fixed it for me.

Are you still having this issue? It looks like Windows is trying to access a temp file, which may no longer exist. On my machine, the file is called user.config, but yours is krxikakp.tmp

If this error occurs again, can you try to go to the path it provides and see if the file exists? For example, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ModAssistant\ModAssistant.exe_Url_b5ccye5brv14r0rvvr3g5zy3mpn2lvpn\1.1.5.0

On the technical side, I'm not sure why it would be trying to access a temp file. Mod Assistant saves settings using Properties.Settings.Default.Save(), which should be handled by Windows. The Settings class is auto generated by Visual Studio, and extends the ApplicationSettingsBase class https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.configuration.applicationsettingsbase?view=netframework-4.6.1

I can't find any reason why it would be a temp file. If anyone else has any suggestions here let me know.

Edit: This is the only thing I can find about this issue, the user says that the folder doesn't exist for some reason. You could try creating the folder yourself, and see if that works.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35130809/c-sharp-usersettings-exception-could-not-find-a-part-of-the-path-during-save

I was able to fix this issue by filling uninstalling the game. As in going into the .../steamapps/common folder and deleting the entire file (after backing up my downloaded songs and platforms). After redownloading it, installing all the mods, and replacing the downloaded songs it worked perfectly fine.

Is anyone still having this issue?

It's been over a year now and I'm wondering if we can close this with the possible solution above.
