Can't change settings after updating to 1.6 #416
Description
AML Version: 1.6.0 98ff420
Description
After updating to 1.6.0 I can't change settings. It shows error popup on close or when trying to save settings.
Stacktrace:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied.

For some reason it tries to save some changes to the %userprofile%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config\ and doesn't have rights to do it. Saving and loading global settings from AppData works fine.
Works fine on 1.5.1 8222f08.

Active mods are written to a game configuration file on exit or when starting the game. As you already pointed out, this is a permission issue.
Make sure AML isn't blocked by antivirus or defender. You can also try to run AML as admin.
Moving this to discussions, as its not an AML issue.
