java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./settings.cfg (No such file or directory)

[mikesheen]

Hi,

I'm seeing this in my log from time to time (but not always)

java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./settings.cfg (No such file or directory)

Obviously, I have checked if the file exists (it does) and the appropriate permissions (it's rw for the owner, which is the user running the process).

I started looking at the logs after applying the most recent update because there are cases of people logging in and their ships are corrupted (blocks missing, yet stats are as though the blocks are there), etc.

How do I begin to troubleshoot this ? What should I be looking for ? I've run diagnostics on the disk and it's all good.

Somehow stuff is being corrupted and I don't know why. The error I posted above may be a clue, and when Googling that error I see some pastebins around of other StarMade logs with the same error... yet no discussion about it.

I'm trying to play the game, for the first time, and I get the same error. I tried to find the file, in Google, but no luck.

I tried this solution but no luck. Seriously, I don't have any idea...

Thanks to the user that gave me a settings.cfg file (I don't recall your name, it was 3am at the tme :/ sorry). I will append the file to this post. Don't forget to rename it to settings.cfg!

I ran the starmade checker and this was the output:

Starmade System Checker Report
22-04-2014
16:06:51,39

RESULTS:
Windows version: Windows 7 64-bit ....PASS
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
Graphics Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 ....PASS
Java version: 64-bit Java 7 ....PASS

Even after updating my Nvidia and Intel Graphic Card drivers, I still can't run the game.
Steps I took in order to run it, after installing the drivers and copying the settings.cfg:

1) Open the command prompt with admin privileges (just in case)

2) Go to the StarMade-starter.exe directory and write, in the command prompt, java -jar StarMade-starter.exe

I got this output in console but, still, managed to start the launcher:

C:\Users\echo66\Desktop\starmade>java -jar StarMade-starter.exe
ERROR, FILE DOES NOT EXIST: C:\Users\echo66\AppData\Roaming\.StarMade\settings.p

3) Click 'Start Game'

The launcher closes and two lines are printed in the console:

(yes, the dev got 'starting' wrong :p but no problem with that)

4) After that, I checked the log.txt0 file, in the logs directory, and this was the content I found:

So...what's going on?

I REALLY want to try out the game, before considering the purchase, even if it's only 6 dollars.

Guys, take a look at this log line:

[2014-04-22 16:19:46] ERROR: no content in Resource: C:\Users\echo66\Desktop\starmade\StarMade\file:\C:\Users\echo66\Desktop\starmade\StarMade\StarMade.jar!\org\schema\game\network\commands

What kind of resource is the program referring to? I opened the jar with 7zip and, seriously, there are 11 compiled java classes in that package. :|

I forgot to mention the game and launcher version.

Game version: v0.1421, build 20140404_194643
Launcher version: 9
