PlayChain can't create the database if the "PlayChain" folder is missing in Containers

[iTaysonLab]

Hello!

It seems that the new database-based PlayChain implementation fails to work when the "PlayChain" folder is not existing in ~/Library/Containers/PlayCover.

In Console, such messages can be found:

os_unix.c:49333: (2) open(/Users/itaysonlab/Library/Containers/io.playcover.PlayCover/PlayChain/com.HoYoverse.Nap.db) - No such file or directory`
PC-DEBUG: Failed to connect to DB
PC-DEBUG: Failed to write keychain file

This leads to breaking login in Hoyoverse games (Genshin/HSR/ZZZ) with the "Invalid parameter" error. Tested on ZZZ (and release-version PlayCover 3.0.0), now it is available to sign in after creating the folder.

Thanks!

Hey! Did you launch ZZZ through the alias app or through PlayCover? If you launched it directly from the app, try launching it from PlayCover as I think the PlayChain db file is created through the PlayCover app.

If you launched it directly from the app

Well, I always double-tapped the icon from the PlayCover application, without using the alias in Launchpad. I also tried clearing PlayChain for ZZZ and enabling/disabling it - still didn't help. Only manually creating the directory fixed it.

Can confirm this happens with Genshin - was getting Parameter error prior to making the PlayChain folder myself
