[SOLUTION] Can't Launch the game - Error: Can't read profile path

Post by bobkbrown »

So I want to share a problem and solution I just ran into with the latest Windows 10 Pro [Build 17063.rs_prerelease.171213-1610]
There are new features in this build of Windows 10 that will prevent this game from working if enabled. (anti-ransomware)

Go to > Windows Defender Security Center> Virus & Threat Protection> Virus & Threat Protection Settings... Controlled Folder Access
~ If this is enabled the game WILL NOT RUN if you do not add the proper exclusions to the Farming Simulator 2017 game folders.

Just wanted to share my findings hoping it will save someone's sanity down the road.

Note: Controlled Folder Access is not enabled by default but that may change as MS updates it's OS.
