Hi! Does anyone know how to solve and prevent [Error 183] when quick-saving? Seems like it has to do with unable to create an already existing file, but I couldn't find a solution to avoiding it. This error isn't common, only one user has reported this, and it is ignorable. Any help would be appreciated!

Another solution would be to get the player to send the traceback.txt filerayminator wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:44 pm next time that errors shows up press the bbcode button and then paste it here
For an answer to the issue though, it looks to be a permissions error - the user doesn't have the required permissions to modify the save file.
Are they using a "guest" account, or an "admin" account?
Can you ask them where they "installed" the game and send you the file path?
They might be extracted the game to a write-protected folder, or the pathname might include illegal characters.

Re: Error 183 on quicksave
Thanks to all the replies! The game is played through Steam, and the user is from China, so it makes sense that the pathname (perhaps the username?) includes illegal characters! Should I just ask them to change the path name then? I'll ask about the guest/admin account too! Thank you so much!Imperf3kt wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 11:32 pmAnother solution would be to get the player to send the traceback.txt filerayminator wrote: ↑Wed Oct 20, 2021 10:44 pm next time that errors shows up press the bbcode button and then paste it here
