FYI: Check your custom scripts after 2.0.122.0 update

EDIT: Fixed as of 2.0.123.0

 

TL: DR - If you are running 2.0.122.0 or above, make sure all your game/mod custom scripts have the option "Execute as the service's user" ticked if the user needs access to whatever file/folder is created by said script.

 

Just a heads up for those who haven't noticed this.

Since the 2.0.122.0 Security update, you are now having to run the 'Repair' action a lot to fix 'hidden' files and folders.

 

Looking deeper into why we had this issue, the majority of the folders/files that were hidden and needed permissions repair was because the custom script created that folder/file through admin permissions.

 

Example:

A Backup / Restore script we had created a folder called "backups" where it stored the .zip files. Since the script didn't have "Execute as the service's user" ticked, the user couldn't see that folder and neither could the Restore script when trying to select the zip.
