"The operation was canceled by the user" workaround.
Hi all!
I’m aware of an issue where Novetus crashes with a “The operation was canceled by the user” error on startup for some users. After some investigation, it is found that this issue effects Windows 11 users using the default zip extractor. It has been found that for whatever reason, the extractor will somehow corrupt files upon extracting. This is a problem that can’t be fixed by myself, as it’s a problem with Windows itself and not a Novetus issue.
There are currently two workarounds for this:
-
Extract Novetus with 7-Zip or WinRAR. Using a different extraction program seems to fix the problem for some users. Make sure to fully extract the Novetus .zip file.
-
Use the itch.io app. The itch.io app is probably the most consistent way to fix this issue, and will provide you with automatic updates whenever a new Novetus release comes out (which will indeed happen at some point).
I apologize for the delay in releasing this update publicly. I released these workarounds on the Novetus Discord server, but never published them to the other pages.
EDIT: Some people have also suggested that disabling Windows UAC could fix the problem, however I personally don’t recommend that because you’d be disabling a security feature. Only disable UAC if there’s no other options.

That fucking sucks, though it's beyond your control.
I hope that this issue is resolved on eventually, but I highly doubt it.
