OreEnthusiast Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Switched to experimental for a bit and came across this problem. Now the game only stores and reads from this "Program" folder in the C drive which causes error messages to pop up when I start up windows saying it needs to be renamed. Even after switching back to stable A21 it's still storing and reading from the Program folder. If there is no folder it'll just create one. And moving any files to the normal appdata folders doesn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the root cause was but I went back and reset everything again by removing vortex from nexusmods and resetting my launcher settings again. One of those 2 fixed the issue and it's now properly reading my from appdata folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, you or Nexus had a path set up that pointed to a location in Program Files or Program Files (x86) and did not use quotation marks so Windows thought the path ended at Program.

Skysore Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I am getting this as well. The launcher log shows: -UserDataFolder=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\7 Days To Die\Mods It only reads the C:\Program and creates a folder there. File manager keeps asking me to change the name of the folder, since it is Program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the UserDataFolder command with a path that includes spaces, you have to enclose the path in quotation marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
