Godot 3: Has user:// been changed?

kow__

I'm using Godot 3rc3.

Hi. I'm making a game and, obviously, it requires storing data. I have always used user:// because it was the most obvious path. But now it started behaving in strange way: as long as I'm in the editor everything seems normal and the files are saved to res://user/, but when I export, even if the folder is created, the files and folders inside of the user:// folder aren't stored. I'm using Windows 8.1 and user is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\GAME NAME\.

Maybe this will help? Link

No, the thing is that the files don't appear when the game is exported. Even if I try to see if they're there using File.new().file_exists(PATH) they aren't found. Thanks anyway.

Strange. Maybe it's a bug? You could try opening a issue on the Godot github page.

Does it work with Godot 3 RC2? Maybe something in between RC2 and RC3 broke saving to `user://``. Another thing you could try is using a daily build. I personally use this site for my daily builds (when I need them):http://godot3builds.digitecnology.com/index.php

I'm not sure though. Hopefully you can find a way around it.

I solved using OS.get_user_data_dir() instead of user://, even if that caused the editor to not function. I hope that when 3.0 stable is released the problem will be solved. Thanks for the help.

No problem, though I'm not sure I really helped any :lol: I'm glad you got it solved!
