| Summary | 0010237: Unable to Launch server; lock file always there | ||||
| Description | On Mac OSX 10.7.5. I look in ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/A Valley Without Wind 2/RuntimeData/Worlds/MultiEnviron And there is no lock file. Then I launch the app (through steam or not, it made no difference) and go to Launch Server of Your Own, and it then complains that there is a lock file. Now, once that server window is running, the lock file does show up (0 bytes big though). However, once I quit the server (with command-Q, as I didn't see a stop button. Also the red close button was grey'd out. Might not want to do that) lock.dat is gone again. Now, this is odd because I can launch it for a second world I have just fine. The not working one is MultiEnviron | ||||

Hmmm, that does seem odd. That said, I'm not sure if they will be needed or not, but, there isn't anything in the file you sent. Just two blank directories. Also, FYI, the lock.dat file is supposed to be 0 bytes long. There's not anything in there, the game simply checks for it's presence. |

Hopefully this will get it, but let us know if not! * Rather than just writing an empty lock.dat file to prevent multiple openings of the same world at one time, the game now generates a unique GUID for each process run, and writes that into the lock.dat file. This way it can never accidentally lock itself out of a world file, it will only lock other copies of the valley process out of it. |
