Okay, lemme get this straight. Read is when a file is read and it's effects shows up in an app and makes it run, right? Write is when that file content is changed, and it gets overwritten, correct? And Execute is when the overwritten file is taken to effect on the app, much like being read? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is how I understand it.)

 

So, the issue is with the game Real Racing 3. I manually pasted a game save I had stored in Dropbox via iFile, and the game ran smooth. But, when I reopened the game, it shows me the update preview screen and daily reward I received all over and over again. I tried buying a new car, and exited the app and closed it from multitasking, and reopened the app, and the car was rendered as un-bought, and the same reward and update screen shows up again.

 

I think this has to do with the file permissions. Most of the game files' permissions I checked were set to Read, and Write, but not Execute. And the whole Documenst folder was set to Read and Execute. Does this effect the game somehow?

 

Any help received will be VERY appreciated.

Hey,

 

Yes. File permissions do affect the game. If you noticed a behaviour where your progress doesn't save then your save game files might not have the write permission.

 

If you can, set permissions to 755 or 777 to all save game files.

 

That is not always the case though, it's possible the game is also syncing with the game's server and detects something unusual with your game and resets it to the last "good" point. Clash of Clans for example.
