map creation hard saved to C:/ProgramData

[Twan Ariens]

The creation of new maps keeps going to the C drive in ProgramData even though I have changed the directory in the settings. This causes servers not to start if you keep the save world on a different directory.

This is a har-coded SE behavior, not an SESM one, if you want to save elsewhere

Quote from http://www.spaceengineersgame.com/dedicated-servers.html :

CHANGING DATA DIRECTORY ON DEDICATED SERVER

To change data directory for dedicated server, mklink command may be used.

1. Make sure 'D:\Something\DirForData' exists

2. Make sure 'C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated' does not exists

3. Run command:

mklink /J C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated D:\Something\DirForData

Could you help me and explain where to use the mklink command? Is that in the windows command prompt or do i need to start the dedicated server with the -console variable?

The mklink have nothing to do with the SE server itself, it's a purely windows command.

Long story short :

• If you want to store your SE files in D:\SEServers\, create the directory

• backup and delete C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated\

• in an admin windows command prompt, execute :

mklink /J C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated D:\SEServers
