Sodd Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 After updating to the new launcher, the file playerslot.txt under Homecoming/accounts/accountname is no longer being updated when changing character positions. If I delete this file then launch the game the file does not get recreated and the character order is in the order of creation. Nor does the file get created when changing the character order. Placing the file back into the original location does nothing either. After restoring the playerslot.txt file, any new characters that are created do not get added to the file. Tried changing the order and checking the file, the file remains unedited. I can manually add characters to this file and order them as desired and the file is then read by the game correctly. However this manual process must be done each time a character is created or a re-order of the character list is desired.
WanderingAries Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Just to be clear, you're saying the file is located in: ~/Homecoming/accounts/accountname/playerslot.txt right?

WanderingAries Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 I just tested this using the new launcher and while it didn't create the file initially, it did create it once I moved an alt. I then copied the original file back while in the server list and confirmed the changes took effect when I chose a server (back to my original order). I'd check it again on your side. Personally, not moving them often, I keep a backup of all the TXT files for the game.

Metatheory Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 @Sodd - do you have 'remember account' checked on the login screen? because if you don't this file will not be updated. 1

After checking that option, that file does indeed get updated. While this does work, it is less than desirable. Easy enough workaround. Thanks! 1
