idk
wat happened

[Omnimon]

when i try to create a new world this error pops up and this may be unrelated but all worlds are listed in red and the game crashes when saving and exiting a world

its saying ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group.

hope this helps

[Omnimon]

thanks that fixed the error message

[kitty]

I can't figure out how to get this ASP.NET to work. If I could get a more in depth explaination that would be appreciated. Thanks

Can you please explain how do I "Add" the appropriate user ?

[Nekuu]

yes, but if I want to click add it is blocked and I can't do anything

I'm not sure how to add a specific user, however it may help to run the .bat file as administrator. this should bypass permission requirements.
