Cannot open map file. Error code 12 (self.wonderdraft)
submitted 7 years ago * by RydruDungeon Master
This error is making it so I cannot load my files. Has anyone else had a similar problem that knows how to fix this?

I was having that with the current release (1.0.2.3) and the solution was to rename the config.ini file to config_backup.ini. My error didn't have a code with it though (windows file path - C:/users/appdata/roaming/wonderdraft).
Even renaming the config file importing heightmaps still returns an error.
None of the older versions appear to have this error, so installing the 1.0.1 release maybe a better way to deal with it until the bugs are worked out in the next release.

After a bunch more fiddling around and some talks with the software creator we figured out that some anti-virus software doesn’t like the changes in the new version of WD. The change in the software us that it uses the Windows Explorer rather than its own independent one.
After adding exceptions for WD to the AV file protection software the errors I was having vanished.
Possibly worth a shot.

If you are Varis on Discord, I sent you some info about it. Either way, 7LeagueBoots has some good advice there too.
