Aurora Bug Reports Discussion

Aurora requests elevation via the application manifest schema. I can choose between none, admin or highest available. Its set to admin.

To be honest I'm not familiar with user right management on Windows so I cannot really help you with that. If you say that Aurora can create files but not seeing them it sounds a permission issue or at least something I cannot fix within Aurora.

Cant you just quickly turn off the whole "user permission"-thing so everyone has full access and then see if it works? Then we at least know for sure its a permission problem.

Sry, but turning "off" ACLs and permissions is NOT possible.
But I've temporaily enabled rw access for "Everyone".

After creation of another txt file via Aurora the permission, which were set automatically, are as in the screenshot.

So as you can see everyone has write permission on that newly created txt file.
BUT Aurora still is not able to see (list) or access (rw) at this file.
This is not a general Windows issue.

Also this was already working in a previous version of Aurora as I've tried it on Aug 6th for a different game (Sackboy) and it seemed to work as a zip file had been created. (If you need I can send another screenshot with dates).

Nothing changed between Aurora versions regarding the savegame path. If it was working before than something on your end was different at this time. Did you also moved the %appdata% folder to the same network drive?

Btw you can change the backup folder in Aurora settings -> Savegame protection -> Custom backup folder. Just change it to a local folder and the problem should be solved.

Okay, I've finally found where this was coming from.
The last thing you mentioned showed it to me. The reasons are as follows:

1. You are right with the "something changed on my side". As we got a new server the path to the server (or servername) changed. This was reflected and changed almost everywhere
2. The savegame backup path in Aurora wasn't changed automatically even though it was "still" the standard Windows "documents" folder (just the underlying path of that folder changed, which should not have an effect).
Aurora is using the documents path as a default at the beginning but then saves the underlying path in in the Global Settings.json instead of the variable to that folder. So it doesn't save the %USERPROFILE%\Documents.

I should have seen that in the error message but working so long with the old server you get a little blind for things like that.

But I would suggest using the "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" setting (the variable) as the default value as this will mitigate these issue.

Still, thank you for pointing me in the right direction as changing it to the correct path it works as expected!

It is using the %userprofile% unless an path is already specified. In this case it uses the saved path. It doesn't check if the saved path COULD be an old version of %userprofile% because this is almost impossible.

It isn't possible to write "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Aurora\Savegames" to the json config file because .NET is not resolving the %userprofile%. And I dont really want to write a parser for such a special case. Edit: Turns out it is, I'll add your suggestion to next update.

Thx for your reply, checking and using this for the next update.
