FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\Thomas\\AppData\\Roaming\\BEEMOD2\\config\\tmp581cx9fz'

After this error, it says "Failed to execute script BEE2_launch"

---

Workaround

This error only affects first time launch. Here's how to fix it manually:

• Press WINDOWS+R or search Run in the start menu
• Type %AppData%/BEEMOD2 and hit enter
• Make a new folder and name it "Config"

After that BEEmod will launch.

Does C:\Users\Thomas\Roaming\BEEMOD2\config actually exist? If not you might be able to create it to work around the issue.

I had the same problem and yes, creating this directory solved the problem. But after selecting the .exe file of the game and specifying the name, the application gives the following error on startup (a splash screen appears, and when the first progress bar reaches the end, this error message appears).

Renamed so hopefully people will spot this more easily...

Edited the issue so that the image of the log is text so it might be searched easier
