No Debug.err Found, need it

DA v1.6b5

I have a reproducible crash bug that has already been emailed to gc2bugs, but I was unable to include the debug.err because my Docs/DA folder doesn't have one. I even did a computer-wide search, the only ones that exist are ones from DL and DA 1.5. No debug.err is created when the game doesn't crash but exits normally.

One thing that's weird is I set Docs/My Games/GC2DA folder to not read only, and every time it switches back to read only. Even though it is read only, DA has no trouble creating a new race.xml, it just can't create a debug.err.

Is there a way to change what directory debug.err goes to, or should I fix the folder instead (and how)? I'm not adverse to registry editting.

The debug.err files are created in the main game folder (under Program Files), not in the My Doc folders.

That's where it is for version 1.5, but I am running 1.6b5. 1.6b2 or so changed the dir. I do have a v1.5 debug.err in the main game folder, but it does not have the crash info. Thanks for trying anyways.


EDIT:
My mistake, user error. The 1.6b2 saving to Docs is only under Vista. I do in fact have the debug.err in the main game folder. I still think it's weird I can't set the folder to writable though, but no worries.
