Umamusume Pretty Derby: How to Fix the 501 Error Code
Since you have a DMM version installed and are now trying to play Umamusume via Steam, the presence of two game folders is the reason why you are facing this issue. To get rid of this issue, follow these steps:
- Go to this location -C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames
- Copy all the files from here and paste them somewhere else. (to keep a copy) You will have to remove every file from this location.
- Hold the Shift button, and click the right-click button of your mouse. From the menu that opens up, select ‘Open PowerShell window here.’
- Paste this command- ‘fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo {path to your \locallow\Cygames} enable. If you get an error: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux/
- Now, you need to replace a specific part of the above-mentioned command with the destination of your Umamusume save file location. So cut this part of the command- ‘{path to your \locallow\Cygames} ‘ and paste this- ‘C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\Cygames’
- Once this is done, you can again move all the files that you copied in the second step back to the original location (Cygames folder).
