GUI Button does not work from exe file

In my game I am showing a button at top. When the user clicks it, it was supposed to pops up a game over screen. Now this button works fine when I play it in unity or even play it using the File → Build & Run.

But the problem occurs when I just build the game and try playing it using my game.exe file. The button is still there, but when I click the button it does nothing. Btw, the game over screen was supposed to show up after hitting x button on keyboard and that’s not working either.

I am creating the Game Over Screen in OnGUI using GUI functions.

EDIT:

void StopGame()
    	{
    	        AppendString(PlayerScript.GData);
    		currentMode = GAME_MODE.STOP;
    		Time.timeScale = 0;
    	}
    void AppendString(string GameData)
    	{
    		TextWriter io; 
    		string File = "data";
    		if(System.IO.File.Exists(File+".csv"))
    		{
    			io = new StreamWriter("Assets/Resources/"+File+".csv");
    			io.WriteLine(GameData);
    			io.Close();
    			return;
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			System.IO.File.Create(File+".csv");
    			io = new StreamWriter("Assets/Resources/"+File+".csv");
    			io.WriteLine(GameData);
    			io.Close();
    			return;
    		}
    	}

But the Exit(x) button is not working.

Could you post the relevant code?

Are you getting any error message when running from the Editor?

@raimon.massanet: no there's no error msg @fornoreason1000: game over scene is not a separate scene, may be this will clarify it: i'm making a GUI box with some text and button in it when user clicks Exit(x) button

Try In line 20: mention the file path as Application.persistentDataPath, it seems to have problem in finding path

yep that was the problem, is there any way I can change this path?

 –

System.IO.File.Create(Application. persistentDataPath+"/"+File+".csv")

sorry i wasn't clear enough, I am using Application.persistentDataPath to fix my problem, but that creates the file in a very weird place. I wanted to know if I could change the path so that say the file will be on my Desktop

I hope that some one is still viewing this thread cause I have a question. How secure is the values written? I mean, can the user go in and edit it since it's technically a save on his account?
