Game crashes at start

Hi, just downloaded the game from https://dene.itch.io/moonring but it crashes everytime when I try to start a new game.

I just downloaded the file and unzipped it into a folder, not sure if I should be doing something else.


Error

state_game_zoom.lua:1075: Could not open file data/save/firstDungeon-01.png (not found)

Traceback

[love "callbacks.lua"]:228: in function 'handler'

I'm experiencing the same crash at start and error messages. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'll keep looking.

Did you figure out a fix for it ? I downloaded the game on steam and I'm having the same problem.

Open File Explorer and go to:

%APPDATA%\Moonring\data

And create a directory named "save" there.

The game will run then.

The same goes when using Wine. I had to run the following before playing: 

mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/users/(my-user-name)/AppData/Roaming/Moonring/data/save

You really saved me! Thanks!

This worked OMG you are awesome

Yeah. thanks!

You have to start the game as admin, then  should it work. Otherwise check that the directory in %appdata% exists... (C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Roaming\Moonring\data and there the subfolder "save")
