Moonring Steam-only save error.

Post by Madrayken »

Hey folks,

Moonring has been out on Steam for a little while now and so far things are *mostly* going really well.
That said, a couple of users have complained about the game returning an error when the game tries to write to the save directory.

The points of commonality are:

1) They are running a fused version of the game from Steam (currently using Love 11.4)
2) Running directly from a .love file via Love2D.exe (11.5) works for them
3) They are running the game from a non C: partition

Obviously the fused/non-fused directories are subtly different in name, but I can't imagine why they'd cause this error.

From the user:
C:\Users\XXL\AppData\Roaming\moonring" the base dir is created, but no files inside.

just wanted to note - the "C:\Users\XXL" directory is actually a directory junction to another partition - but that is handled on os side and should not make a difference to the application (it never was an issue with any application before and is also not an issue if run via the .love file)

Any ideas?

File writing not working when the save directory's path has symlinks in it was a bug in the version of PhysFS used by love 11.4. It's fixed in 11.5 since a newer PhysFS version is used now.
