Can't read or write to Arma3.cfg about arma3-unix-launcher HOT 3 CLOSED

Does the launcher create this directory? Maybe it gives wrong permissions (if it got created)

You could try creating this directory manually and trying again

mkdir -p "/home/drunkenalcoholic/Games/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Arma 3"

from arma3-unix-launcher.

//EDIT
It was a permission issue, fixed now and working no problems so far. Thanks muttleyxd, keep up the great job on this project.

The directory wasn't created, so I manually created it, after running the launcher it did create "Arma3.cfg" in the new directory and populated it with

class ModLauncherList { };

the terminal output below indicating read permissions, maybe I have to look at what I have done wrong with the permissions of this directory

That's what I was expecting - weird that Arma game didn't create the file. Good, that you managed to solve it 😁

You're welcome!
