When I attempt to update the game, an error occurs

[AgentAlphakill]

The install worked fine and I can access all the rooms, but when I attempt the update through the submods segment in the menu, this pops up.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While loading <'Image' u'lib/windows-i686/Submods/Submod Updater Plugin/indicator_update_available.png'>: File "renpy/common/00gamemenu.rpy", line 173, in $ ui.interact() IOError: Couldn't find file 'lib/windows-i686/Submods/Submod Updater Plugin/indicator_update_available.png'.

Create a new shortcut to DDLC.exe and try to launch the game from it.

[ghost]

I get the same error, but it is an ongoing issue with Linux installs (I run Ubuntu). My wager is it's because you are running the unstable branch of MAS. Try duplicating your install on the stable version, and then run the submod updater from there - since you're on Windows it should work.

[multimokia]

Stable/unstable are irrelevant. Both branches are even at the moment, plus they don't change how images are loaded.

[ghost]

Ahh ok, good to know - thanks for the heads up!

[ghost]

Just noticed something with this issue as well as my own - is it perhaps looking for the files in the wrong location? It seems to be looking for them in lib/windows-i686/Submods/Submod Updater Plugin rather than within the game directory?

[Cdino11]

Are you using windows when you get they error

• Also that is the wrong file path it should be game/submods/submod updater plugin

[multimokia]

Yeah it's looking in the wrong dir. Typically this happens if you run from shell when not cd'd to the basedir of the game

[AgentAlphakill]

It is on windows and I am using the unstable version.

[ghost]

Did you try Booplicate's recommendation of creating a new shortcut to DDLC.exe? It should work for windows. https://github.com/Booplicate/MAS-Submods-SubmodUpdaterPlugin/issues/2

Edit: updated link, for whatever reason the previous one was sending me to the wrong place.

[Cdino11]

did your issue clear up?
