Descriptive Problem Summary:
Attempting to change the user directory "Succeeds" but when copying files Windows explorer will say that the end location is the same as the start location. The pager creates some folders and files in the target location and starts showing the new directory as the user directory, but still uses the old one and if you restart BYOND it will revert back to default. Tried running it in Administrator to change the directory, same result. Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: 1) Open the BYOND pager 2) Open the Preferences dialog 3) Click on the Advanced tab 4) Change your user directory to something else 5) In the prompt that pops up, click Yes, this is supposed to move everything from the existing folder to the new one. 6) Restart BYOND Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem: Expected Results: BYOND will move everything from the old directory to the new one without errors and use it as the user directory. Actual Results: BYOND creates some files in the directory. Continues using the old directory and the display will change to default after restart Does the problem occur: Every time? Or how often? Yes, every time In other games? In other user accounts? On other computers? When does the problem NOT occur? Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.) Workarounds: None I found |

This sounds like the issue described in http://www.byond.com/forum/post/2517263. This patch hasn't been released yet.
Can you confirm the version of BYOND you're using? |
Ok, looks like version 513.1491 fixed the path reset. But I had to manually copy the user files, because the copy process still says that the end location is the same as the start location and Byond starts using the new directory but there are only empty files there so it wont launch until you copy the files.
