Vassal Only Prompts for Directory when Creating Log or Saving Game

Hello. Using version 3.7.12 on Windows.

When the game starts it prompts me to start a log file. When I say “yes” I only get prompted for a directory in which to store the file. I don’t get prompted to enter a file name for a new log.

Also happens when I try to save the game for the first time.

It happens for all mods - so doesn’t seem to be mod specific.

I’ve rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted the mod and added it back. Still happens.

Any help or tips? Doesn’t seem like anyone else is having this problem.

Can you share screenshots of what you see when this issue presents itself?

Thanks JoelCFC25. Here is what I see. I hope this comes out.

I only get this dialog telling me to choose the directory. There is normally a box at the bottom that allows me to enter a file name. So choose the directory, set the file name, press save. But I’m only seeing the directory selector. Choosing a directory and hitting “return” doesn’t do anything.

Is that literally filling your entire screen? Are you able to grab either of the top 2 corners of that dialog, click and hold the mouse button, and drag inward to resize it to be smaller vertically, then grab the title bar of the dialog and move it? That is, perhaps the part you’re expecting to see is off the bottom edge of your display?

Hi. Good idea! Yes I can grab the corner and make the window fill my screen but unfortunately that does not reveal anything other than white space :-(.

And then, for no reason, it just started working. So “gone for now.”

Thanks so much for your help!
