Fubar Fix

Our last update caused some serious issues related to the My Documents folders with spaces in the name, causing a new directory to be created with %20 in place of the space and resulting in some unacceptable problems. We have now resolved this issue and the game should work normally with user document folders that do or do not contain spaces. We have also fixed the game so that table names can now be saved with spaces in them. It is still highly recommended that you do not use spaces in the names of your tables or any sound or image files you add to the game and while we understand that some people out there have user document folders with spaces in the names, we will, as always, advise users to avoid spaces when naming files or folders as much as humanly possible. Seems odd that even in 2023 computers still have a hard time with spaces in files and directories, but they often do. We hope that some day this will cease to be a problem because as lifelong coders it has certainly been a major pain.

It should also be noted that Unreal Engine is not really designed to handle such intensive file management as we have implemented in this game. Most games use Unreal's simple savegame setup out of the box but the work we have had to do to allow for the use of user-added files and such has created quite the file management monster! We believe that we are now past this problem and we do not expect any further issues in this regard.

We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this problem has caused you and we hope you forgive us for our recent fubar. We ask that you remember that we are still in early access and problems may arise. We've had some growing pains and your input and support means the world to us!
