James Thomas Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Hello all, Recently, I loaded up euroscope and all of my settings had reset, additionally my UK controller pack stopped loading correctly. I was extremely confused and browsed this forums and various other forums and wiki's to try and find out how to resolve it. I couldn't find a resolution therefore I decided to reinstall the controller pack and also euroscope. So far I have had no luck with any of this and was wondering if any of you could be of assistance. Screenshots can be seen below after reinstalling a fresh version of euroscope and the controller pack. https://i.gyazo.com/dd57b064b8e0a83d20b309fb64e640cb.png https://i.gyazo.com/2fbe4a8b77c91efb5f9d8979bd979832.png https://i.gyazo.com/e7b564acf7ba4df7e94b673bb4eb808e.png Any and all help is appreciated, James Edited December 8, 2018 by James Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Cameron Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Make sure that the path for the UK sector file is as follows C:\Users\<Your name>\Documents\EuroScope, so the Data folder should be C:\Users\<Your name>\Documents\EuroScope\UK\Data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Cameron Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 That's not incorrect, as long as the UK folder is within Documents\Euroscope its fine, its just looking for those files within the Euroscope folder, have you tried running as admin?

For some reason Euroscope launches sometimes in admin, sometimes not. However, going to the root folder and forcing admin seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the help!

George Peppard Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) EuroScope will run in the folder it's launched in. When you install it, a shortcut is placed on the desktop that runs EuroScope.exe in Documents/EuroScope. If you just double click EuroScope.exe or create your own shortcut to EuroScope.exe then the program gets run in Program Files/EuroScope (or wherever the .exe is located). This means the relative paths to UK/Data... don't work - they are designed to be used when the program is run in the Documents folder. You need to either modify the shortcut so the program starts in "Users/<you>/Documents/EuroScope" (better option) or move the contents of Program Files/EuroScope to Documents/EuroScope and run from there (I don't recommend this as it will make updating a pain).

What I have found has worked is that I reinstalled it, then removed the shortcut from my taskbar, then I went into the directory and forced it to run as admin then pinned it to my taskbar so now it is opening as admin each time.

Whether not it runs as admin shouldn't matter - by definition the Users/you/Documents folder should belong to your user account. At least it works now ? - EuroScope works in mysterious ways!
