Asset Editor crash on save

[Skyzoh]

Hey, I have a bit of a problem. When I try to save anything from the asset editor I get a fatal error : System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not find [filepath].Name.ast

I tried creating a "blank" name.ast at the location, but then I get an error "could not save" rather than "file not found".

I also tried creating a new project from scratch and I still have the same problem. Given that the asset editor crash after the error and that it takes forever to open, debugging is a pain.

Here is the full error :

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'D:\Users\<MyName>\Documents\Firaxis ModBuddy\Civilization VI\Test\Test\Assets\Test.ast'.

I figured it out : just run ModBuddy as admin
Steam -> right click on Dev Tools -> Properties
Pick the Local Files, then Click on Browse local files.
Right click on modbuddy, and in one of the tab, select "run as admin"
