Could not set write directory on Android 6

I got his exact same error: https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... -android-6
The method used is the correct and this only happens on Android 6, it works well on previous versions.

Could check to see if using the external save flag changes anything. Or rather I should ask if you are using the external save flag.

Edit: After some testing using external storage seems to work. You can try it by doing

Code: Select all

 t.externalstorage = true
Hopefully that works for you. I did a quick google search to find out what could have possibly have changed between 5 and 6 but i cant find anything. Maybe it has to do with permissions.
