Part of the fixes to the mod system was changing an incorrect directory function which prevented the mod system from creating new folders when patching, which is the source of the errors when patching files to aric_expansion_images. Manually adding that folder will remove those errors, but it's not a reasonable solution.

It's possible your backup folder is corrupt from deleting it but keeping the rest of the program folder while Aric's mod was installed, but using a fresh extraction of the game would solve that. Any permissions issues would raise errors long before the mods were applied.

Also your copied messages are self contradictory as you copied it incorrectly.

I've tried using a fresh extraction of the game and mod multiple times and still received the same errors. I would like to know what you mean by manually adding a folder?

What folder would I add and where, in the Aric expansion mod folder or within the game folder.

The Windows explorer can be used to create folders within the Strive program folder instead of waiting for the mod system to create them. There are folders within ".../Strive/mods/AricsExpansion/patch/" that do not correspond to folders within the Strive program folder. For instance, in "res://files/aric_expansion_images/abils/panic.png.import" from the the errors you just gave "res://" refers to your Strive program folder, which contains the "files" folder. However there will not be the folders "aric_expansion_images/abils" within that folder, so the panic png.import file cannot be copied to there.

Edit: Many of your errors are a missing folder in the backup folder "res://backup/.import".

If you downloaded Strive from somewhere other than itch.io then it's possible your game folder is corrupt, which would explain the contradictions in how the mod system interacts with your Strive program folders.

Otherwise there have been rare cases where a computer has weird permissions everywhere and the best solution is to put the game folder in the roaming folder beside the game's user data folder since this usually provides all necessary permissions to edit files and folders.

Okay I've resolved my issue. the problem was on my end, I installed the DebugMod for v1.0d instead of the Bugfix-V6b on itch.io

Sorry for wasting your time.

No problem, at least it all makes sense now.
