Cannot launch Arcanum through Quake Injector

"Couldn't spawn server maps/arcstart.bsp". Doing the whole shortcut -game drake thing works just fine. But if I wanted to go back to that, I wouldn't have gotten Quake Injector. Any ideas? Uninstalled, reinstalled.

Re: Cannot launch Arcanum through Quake Injector

Cool! Help us help you:

- You have something_wicked/maps/arcstart.bsp in your Quake directory?
- What operating system are you on?
- Do other maps or mods launch properly through the Injector?
- Does something_wicked launch properly through the Injector?

I changed something, try again.

Uninstalled, reinstalled. It launches! A knock-on effect unfortunately: The console spit out a bunch of edict errors, and I noticed arcstart had no candles whatsoever. I made a copy of the drake folder before doing anything, and launching that via Quake Injector will also lack candles in arcstart, but from the shortcut everything is groovy.

-something_wicked is installed and in the Quake directory
-W10
-Everything else installed via QI works a-okay.
-s_w does indeed launch properly
Here's the log about those edict errors

EDIT: It turns out running this new drake with a shortcut gives me the arcstart error I made the thread about. Curious.

Re: Cannot launch Arcanum through Quake Injector

Some forum posts were lost just now in a server upgrade, here is the post that was dropped:

I don't know if this is still being looked into, but copying over the progs.dat, and the pak files from Arcanum's drake folder to something_wicked, and then launching via Quake Injector does launch Arcanum successfully without the glithces I mentioned in the above post. Perhaps something could be done with that?
