They are using EA App, my assumption is cause of the general perms issue around EA App / Program Files dir

GeckoEidechse avatar Jul 10 '24 15:07 GeckoEidechse

Does the EA App only remove the write permission on the files inside it? Or is the folder itself also missing it? For the prior, I guess the files inside it should also be checked, for the latter, I wonder if the permission checking just flat out doesn't work on Windows. I've never actually tested it, so that's not entirely improbable, given that this should technically be dealt with by the permission checks that's done...

Not too sure tbh. For FlightCore I just do a check for the default path and then show a corresponding warning message. Seems to work well enough where any tickets surrounding it are just about how to move the files, not the error message itself. Don't think I even check perms lol.

Ah I see fair, I was considering doing that, however if the permission checking overall is just broken then there's still a bug present :p

Would you be able to check the permissions, or just create your own gamepath create a Titanfall2.exe in it, remove permissions from it, then try to get Viper to use it as the gamepath, and see if it shows a proper error or not?

Sadly I don't have time (or access to a Windows machine) to test atm :/

That's fine, no worries :) I'll likely be able to get around to it, at some point™
