Application showing error message on startuop

Hi all,

I get this error message when opening POB.

Can anyone help out here.

Thanks

This is likely a OneDrive issue. Find your Settings.xml in your PoB install location (%AppData%/Path of Building Community by default) and open it before trying to load PoB again.

I dont use onedrive and I reinstalled POB into a different location to see if that fixed it but still nothing, not sure what I need to change,add or remove

If you press ESC when that error appears are you able to continue normally?

Could you attach your settings.xml file here?

Hi guys,

im also getting the same error:

In 'OnFrame': Modules/BuildList.lua:219: attempt to index local 'fileText' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
Modules/BuildList.lua:219: in function 'BuildList'
Modules/BuildList.lua:107: in function 'CallMode'

Launch.lua:111: in function Launch.lua:108
v2.58.1 master
Press Enter/Escape to dismiss, or F5 to restart the application.
Press CTRL + C to copy error text.

and when checking my install location, i dont appear to have a settings.xml file at all, i just did a fresh reinstall and its still not there, the only xml file present in the install folder is a manifest.xml

Hi @A-M-Bridgeman. I'm fairly sure settings.xml doesn't get written to the install folder. It should be in:

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\Path of Building\settings.xml

Please double-check that OneDrive isn't messing with your Documents directory. If it is, it may change the path to this:

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\OneDrive\Documents\Path of Building\settings.xml

If you end up finding your settings.xml, open it in Notepad or whatever to verify it's not in the cloud.

Also make sure <YourUsername> contains only English letters, no accents or anything, just to be safe.

Correction: Try opening one of the saved build files in notepad, then close it, then try PoB.

This has worked, thank you very much.
