An error has occurred on startup. Settings were unable to save. It is recommend that you restart Torchlight.
Attempted to save settings at:
C:\users\hopup\My Documents\My Games\Runic Games\Torchlight 2\
Windows Error: Invalid Argument
This is the error I receive when I attempt to load TL2 from Steam. Steam works fine under wine 1.5.25
Has anyone else seen this error? Any help really appreciated.
scroll down there to find that heather had the same problem and solved it by simply installing the ati drivers...however they're the ones I currently have installed. I'm still stumped at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello again, I got it going, ultimately it may just be that wine 1.5.25 breaks game compatibility (what it was tested on the first time). Dropped back too wine 1.5.10 and used mfc42, let the game install its own direct x and runtime components through steam. Did normal dll over rides, d3dx9_36, drwite disabled, and mfc42 native. Hope that helps!

Hi.
I have the same problem with the error message.
I don't get a grey screen or anything, just the error window.
Can you tell me how you solved this?
I'm having the exact same error. Any help would be appreciated.
I have been able to determine that the 'My Documents' folder in Wine is installed straight to the Desktop (in the virtual Windows environment) so the path the game is looking for is incorrect. I just don't know how to change it.
Nor do I know how to roll back to older versions of Wine. Please, help us noobs!
I had the same error and this is how I fixed it. I run Torchlight 2 from Steam.
My problem came from corrupted save directories restored by Steam synchro. I don't know how they get corrupted.
1. Under ~/My Games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/save, remove all directories with weird names (in my case, contained strange characters at the end and do not contain any file)
One clean directory the name of which contains only digits remained for me (I guess I have been lucky on this)
2. From Steam, disable synchro for Torchlight 2
3. Launch the game and wait a few minutes. No new weired dirs appeared in my case after I left the game.
4. Re-enable sync from Steam and launch the game again.
A check under ~/My Games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/save did not show any strange dir.
I have the same problem. In ~/My Games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2/save I see the strange characters in the names of subdirectories. They both start with a number that seems to be the first nine characters of my steam id:
765611980繼3地纁3繼纁
765611980纋纍ﻴ纏3췰纋3纍嶈२㓬șﻴ纏33纋3
I would guess that scrambled characters are somehow made up of the last eight digits of my id and maybe the files contained in the directory. That could mean that T2 tries to create the directory based on my id and then a file in that directory which it cannot write to - and then it reports the error.
Creating the directory manually did not work. I tried looking for similar errors where directories and filenames get invalid characters. Any ideas?
