Path not found error upon game start #156

Open votanxerxes opened 3 years ago

votanxerxes commented 3 years ago

Nucleus crashes as soon as I want to launch a game. Seems like Nucleus is internally assembling wrong paths.

Example, Nucleus is looking for the nonexisting path "C:\users\me\NucleusCoop\Player2\NucleusCoop\Player1\documents\MyGames\FormulaOne2012\hardwaresettings\hardware_settings_config.xml" when launching F1 2012. Nucleus also does not write the config files to the required folders like C:\Users\me\NucleusCoop\PlayerX... not for any game.... only exception seems to be the game Dirt3.... after getting thethe same error for a few times, it suddenly created the files and started the gema correctly. Didin't work for any other game. So seems, like Nucleus internally messes up paths....

Using 1.0.2 R5

Thanks in advance

Probably because Nucleus is in a user folder. Try moving it to a folder on the C drive that is not a user folder. For example to the root of C: or make a new folder inside C: if you prefer :)

If that doesn't help, you can try these:

If you still have issues running games, make sure Nucleus is ran as admin, and that Nucleus is installed on the same deive as your game(s).

Hope this helps.

Redownloaded and reinstalled in a separat folder on drive D:\Nucleus....(where my games are), Antivirus does not check that folder (exception set) but still am getting that same error.

The path containing player1 and player2 references at the same time just does not look right....

Hmm not sure then, it might be related to the windows user Nucleus sets up, since it looks like it's trying to find the documents folder inside Nucleus/player1.

I'm not well versed when it comes to Nucleus's setup of windows users. But you can try this.

Look under C:/users and see if there's a folder/user called 'Nucleus', or something similar. Copy the folder to some place else for backup, then delete it. Try to run Nucleus again, right click the game in the UI and click on "delete content folder" (this might delete your save files if you have any).

Restart Nucleus, and rerun the game. If that doesn't work, try asking in our discord server, probably someone there who can help you :)
