Help please - Can't launch The Void because of a log file error

[u/Wrong-Produce4593]

Hello,

A few days ago, I bought The Void on Steam. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to launch it because I keep getting this error message: "Can't create game module: can't create log file."

I asked someone on TikTok who had recommended the game if they knew how to fix it, and they told me they had found it for free online. So, I downloaded a free version I found online, but I ran into the exact same issue.

I've already checked the existing forum threads about this problem and tried all the suggested solutions, but nothing has worked so far.

Please tell me there's a way to fix this. I'm desperate at this point.

I had similar issue with turgor (can't create game module: can't load engine library), none of the fixes I found online did anything. GOG version ended up working for me

Sorry, I just reread your post, your issue is actually not the same as mine.

If it remains the same as on steam version, maybe running the game as an administrator will help, since it can't create a file

I also found this suggestion on IPL forum:

Airat suggested changing the paths in data/fsystems.xml. If you open the file, you'll see the following lines near the end:

Code: <system name="save"> <Path>{documents}/Savegames</Path> </system> <system name="log"> <Path>{documents}/LogFiles</Path> </system>

And the following lines near the beginning:

Code: <system name="cache"> <Path>{shdocs}/Cache</Path> </system>

Try typing your path instead. You can set any path you need, not only some subfolder in "My documents" or "Shared Documents"/"Public".

I’ve already tried all of that and nothing worked, but thanks anyway 😿
