Can't reach character list

As of recent, I cannot access any part of my game as a result of this error appearing whenever I try doing anything that advances into character list. "Alfred" is the name of the character, used for a Calamity mod run. This occurs on the latest version of 1.4.4 tmodloader. What is causing the game to refuse access to the player files? I need help here.

My antivirus doesn't even allow me to turn it off or mess with any of the settings

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 12:40 AM

Okay I managed to disable my antivirus but I still can't access my players

Hm, it might be OneDrive isn't running properly? Or it could be the Controlled Folder Access bug.

https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ#controlled-folder-access

jopojelly•1/17/24, 6:31 PM

See if you can add an exception if that feature is enabled

jopojelly•1/17/24, 6:32 PM

If you have BitDefender , there is a similar feature called Safe Files

jopojelly•1/17/24, 6:33 PM

If the issue is OneDrive, you can right click on the tModLoader save folder and click "Always keep on this device"

jopojelly•1/17/24, 6:35 PM

If everything still fails, you can try the savehere.txtsavehere.txt workaround mentioned in https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Basic-tModLoader-Usage-FAQ#controlled-folder-access to save to the install directory instead of the My Documents folder. If that works, you can copy over your saves folder to the new tModLoader folder created within the install dir

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 9:54 PM

What is the tmodloader save folder

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 9:55 PM

is that in documents or the steam directory

jopojelly•1/17/24, 9:55 PM

Saves Are Located At: C:\Users\Leoze\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Terraria\tModLoader

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 9:56 PM

that leads me to here

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:01 PM

wait is "saves" equal to "worlds"

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:15 PM

saves means everything, the worlds, configs, players. Everything you see in that folder

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:16 PM

so is the saves folder the "tModLoader" folder itself

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:16 PM

yes

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:18 PM

so I put the savehere.txt in the install directory
Do I now copy everything in the saves folder and then paste it in the install directory

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:21 PM

Yes, you would copy over the tModLoader saves directory into the tModLoader install directory. This means the final save dir would be D:\Steam\steamapps\common\tModLoader\tModLoader

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:21 PM

so I bring over not only the folder's contents but also the folder itself

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:23 PM

so this?

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:28 PM

I'm still getting this same error

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:29 PM

and I even deleted the Alfred character so I don't know what this is trying to read

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:32 PM

also I have no access to controlled folder access

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:37 PM

Are you sure you made the savehere.txt file? Drag it here

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:39 PM

I can't

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:39 PM

it says upload failed

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:39 PM

was I supposed to actually type something in the text file

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:40 PM

no.

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:40 PM

I just wanted to see the actual filename, but I guess Discord doesn't like uploading empty files

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:40 PM

I think you have savehere.txt.txt

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:41 PM

doesn't look like it when I press rename

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:41 PM

did you toggle on file name extensions as shown in that video?

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:41 PM

yep

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:43 PM

try to launch again, then send the latest client.log

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:46 PM

now that I think of it
does verifying integrity of game files mess with this process

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:46 PM

because I did do that before trying to launch again

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:47 PM

I don't think it should touch that file. I think verifying will only affect files that are expected to be there, not new files

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:50 PM

huh, I see now. I didn't notice that this is the game attempting to load the vanilla players for migration purposes

foolish-indigoOP•1/17/24, 10:50 PM

oh I just noticed that too

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:51 PM

I guess you can check the file permissions for C:\Users\Leoze\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players\Alfred.plrC:\Users\Leoze\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Terraria\Players\Alfred.plr

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:51 PM

I'm not too familiar with windows file permissions, but it's possible a vanilla player file might be owned by a different "user"?

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:52 PM

If you can't figure anything out with that, you can rename the C:\Users\Leoze\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Terraria\C:\Users\Leoze\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ folder to TerrariaOriginalTerrariaOriginal, that would bypass whatever weird permissions error is causing this

jopojelly•1/17/24, 10:53 PM

You would just need to rename it back to the original Terraria name when you play Terraria
