Exception when creating Permissions file.

[midspace]

This is exception shows when starting up and creating the permissions file. Not reading. I can't reproduce this, not without perhaps more details from the rest of the log, like Localization.

With the new information I guess Permissions was null and that leaves the question why the hell the client would init a server...

[midspace]

The client shouldn't be getting past the MyAPIGateway.Multiplayer.IsServer unless it was still set from a previous session.

The full log would have made it clear what the session was, and a previous session.
