”Failed to read file at:…” when trying to download maps

[Frostion]

I can’t startup and use the download maps feature anymore. When I in TripleA’s main menu choose and press the “Download Maps”, this screen pops up and the selection tabs have no content. I can’t download anything. Here is what I see.

This is the error one can read from the “Show details” button:

Does anyone see what it wrong?

PS: C:\Games\TripleA is of course my TripleA install folder.

Are you using 1.9?

You should clear this setting and it should work again:

Thanks @RoiEX for the response. I can now download again.

I used engine v1.10, so the setting was not where you showed it to be. But I found it in another fan.

@Frostion The location didn't change.
It's only my mouse that hovered over the second tab,so that's why both tabs are highlighted.

Ahhhaa ... Now it all makes more sense
