Char Info directory Does Not Exist Error

[justaplane]

Version - 1.99.8.0.0 RC1

When using a closed server, D2CS.log reports the following:

Feb 15 23:16:23 [error] pvpgn::d2cs::on_client_charlistreq_110: (*AccountName) charinfo directory do not exist, building it
Feb 15 23:16:23 [error] pvpgn::d2cs::on_client_charlistreq_110: Failed to create charinfo directory (C:\pvpgnmagic\release\var\charinfo/AccountName), errno = 17

When characters are created - You can name the character, go into the chat, create a game, and launch a game. However, if you exit back into where you would normally select one of your characters... the character is missing and displays nothing.

I can confirm that the directory does exist, and was created with chracter files in it. In fact every time you create a new character, that part works fine, and a new character file is created on the server. Despite this, D2CS thinks the directories do not exist, attempts to build it and fails (most likely because it already exists). And this results in not allowing the players to select their characters they had already built.

Start pvpgn with Administrator rights or change the directory permissions to have write access there.

I've confirmed that all startup service files are running as the system account, and that the entire directory structure has full access. Seems to still be occurring.

Start pvpgn with Administrator rights or change the directory permissions to have write access there.

I've double confirmed, all services start with Administrator account, and the directories have full permissions. It seems that as soon as you login with an exisiting account, it attempts to create the "charinfo\accountname" directory even though the directory already exists and contains files in it. The issue persists even when trying to create a new account.

If you look at the log, the instant the account logs in, it tries to find the directory and says it's not there, then tries to re-create the directory even though it already exists. I think the issue lies in the fact that it's not finding the folder.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but look at this particular error in particular....

Is it looking for a directory with the incorrect "" ? Notice that when it tries to create the directory, it puts the incorrect "/" in front of the account name. It should be a ""

The Client Sees this

The files clearly do exist however as seen below in these directories

I've also downgraded to the latest stable release, and confirmed, that setup works fine, keeping all configuration files the same. After trying again a clean install of the pre-release, this issue persists.
