Starbound wont activate

[ProclaimedWizard]

Starbound refuses to be activated by Vortex I end up getting a Failed Game Switch message and when clicking more it gives me this

 

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\mods'

 

Ive already reported it to The Nexus

I will just comment that it seems like a really bad idea to put your mods under Program Files, and on the C drive yet.

You can define where you want the mods directory to go. I think it has to be on the same drive as your game.

Your specific problem seems to be UAC. Witndows won't let an application write there. And don't give it administrative privileges...
