All of my media assets disappear when I load from my exe.

When I run the program from my IDE, everything loads fine. However, when I go to the directory and launch the .exe file, all of my textures and models disappear, and I'm left with nothing but grey space, and cubes that I spawned in the code.



EDIT: Putting files in my bin/Release folder fixed it. Thanks!

where is your exe in relation to your assets? The IDE probably sets the working directory to where the assets are, but running the exe manually does not.

You have another working directory when starting an exe directly. Although you can set the working directory also to your exe folder in the IDE. That's an easy workaround that works well for testing (depends on your IDE where you can set that).

Once you release applications you probably should spend some more work on it. There's 2 solutions there - one is working with absolute paths. Most games write their installation paths into the registry on installation and then work with that path. Another solution is building a relative path on application start out of a combination of the current working directory (getcwd) and the first argv parameter of main.
