Troubleshooting: *.ini files

*.ini files couldn't be loaded - What to do?

You may see this error message when navigating to a view in the app:

That means that the ini files do not exist.

Run the game at least once so it can create the ini files. Alternatively, you can click on the "Create ini files from included template" so the app copies ini files there (not recommended).

If after running the game the app still doesn't find the ini files, check the profile settings. See Game Profiles for more information.

*.ini files couldn't be parsed - What to do?

You may see this error message when navigating to a view in the app:

The error message means that one of your *.ini files could not be read by the app.

If you edited the file before, you might have introduced a typo.

You have two options on how to fix it:

• Delete the file (erasing all changes), or
• fix the typo.

Fixing the typo

If you don't want to lose any settings, you'll need to fix the syntax error / typo.

To name a few errors:

• Check if there's a missing bracket, e.g. [General should be [General]
• Check if there are too many brackets, e.g. [General]] should be [General]
• Check if there's an invalid key=value pair, e.g. a newline:

  sResourceArchive2List=..., ..., ...,
  something.ba2

• Everything has to be on one line:

  sResourceArchive2List=..., ..., ..., something.ba2

• Check if there's a comment that doesn't start with a semicolon ';'.

  ; This is a valid comment
  [AudioMenu]
  fVal0=0.8 ; This is also a valid comment (notice the space before the ';'!)
  fVal1=0.6; This is *NOT* a valid comment --> missing a space.

• Check if there's a key=value pair that is not separated by an equals sign '='.

  ; This is valid:
  fVal0=0.8
  ; This is invalid:
  fVal0 0.8
