Loki1950 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 On Win 7 the only folders at C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. are cache and logs so should I just create C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public and extract the zip there.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 On Win 7 the only folders at C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. are cache and logs so should I just create C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public and extract the zip there.Can you explain what error messages you were given (if any)? Have you extracted the public.zip file in your installation directory (not AppData\Local)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 The error messages are that the app does not have permission to open certain files not named.I have not expanded public.zip in the installation folder have a copy in My Documents though.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeta1127 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Is the path ...\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public? Make sure there is only one public folder, not including public.zip. Edited July 4, 2012 by Zeta1127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Thx historic_bruno,tried extracting the zip in the install folder as Pureon mentioned and neither Atlas or the game start.After you extracted it, does the file "%localappdata%\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public\gui\pregame\mainmenu.js" exist?

Loki1950 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 After you extracted it, does the file "%localappdata%\0 A.D. alpha\binaries\data\mods\public\gui\pregame\mainmenu.js" exist?Yes it does but saving still does not work same error msgs.So tried running as administrator just right click on the Atlas short-cut and select "Run as Administrator" and that seems to bypass the permission issues just played though a test map that I generated.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historic_bruno Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hmm did you install the game in a different account than you're running it? I can't imagine why you'd need to use administrator permissions if you installed and run the game from a single account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Just installed it to my normal user account so it's in Program Files and all folders under it have restrictions dependent on your UAC level of enforcement.It's not a new issue Ubisoft's Lock On came out for XP and under Win 7 has to be run as Admin for it to work at all,and this goes for several older titles as well.Enjoy the Choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
