Cannot change debug value in config.txt
The way to get into debug mode is to change the debug value right?
When I change the value and try to save config.txt it asks if I want to replace and I say yes, then it tells me "access is denied." I can't figure out what to do.

Try running as administrator. That worked for me.

It's on my laptop, so I thought I was admin, I'll check it out.
Re: Cannot change debug value in config.txt
Well, it depends on what OS you have, I know that in some windows OS's there's a hidden admin account. I don't know about Macs though, or Linux.

Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[], char* envp[])
{
printf ("Hello World!\n");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Re: Cannot change debug value in config.txt
Code: Select all
text('Hello world!').
hello:-text(X),write(X).
:-hello.
On the problem. Your current user needs write access to 'config.txt'. With my installation normal users didn't have this access. So go to 'config.txt' -> right click -> properties -> security -> edit(need admin password here) and add write and/or modifying access to the user you use.

Thanks! I changed users to full control, and it worked.

Try uninstalling the game, then re-installing the game to something like C:\Games\ or some other directory that is NOT in Program Files or other system directories.
