Hi guys - I've taken a look through and haven't seen this problem posted to the forums before. I'm not sure how to get around it. Here's my log:
argv[0] = [uqm] argv[1] = [--logfile] argv[2] = [log.txt] The Ur-Quan Masters v0.5.0 (compiled Feb 2 2006 03:24:27) This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the included 'COPYING' file. Initializing base SDL functionality. Using SDL version 1.2.10 (compiled with 1.2.  Error: Can't create //plx05: Invalid argument
I don't know what plx05: is, although it looks like a network drive perhaps. I'm running the game off my local hard drive C:

I'm assuming you're using UQM v0.5 official Windows release.
Looks like UQM is trying to store its configuration files somewhere funky like a network drive (is plx05 a machine on your network?). Where is your Windows application data being stored (i.e. what is the value of %APPDATA%)? I think this is a bug in UQM; I suggest you file a bug report including, besides the usual information, details on your user profile setup, especially the value of %APPDATA%.
As a workaround, try forcing UQM to use another configuration directory using the -C option. Alternatively, use a local profile instead of one on a network drive, or provide a drive letter mapping and set %APPDATA% to use that instead.
Edit: mkdirhier in src/sc2code/libs/file/dirs.c doesn't seem to support this sort of filename. There may be some other issues, too; I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

It was an appdata problem - my old value was set to a network drive. Setting it to a new value worked just fine. Thanks!

OK, I've been doing some checking. UQM doesn't support UNC (network) paths for configuration or content directories (tested UQM 0.5 on XP). This will cause some hard-to-detect problems if %APPDATA% is a UNC path. I've reported this as bug 907.
