VR stopped working and can no longer save MIZ files

[Stiganovski]

Hi all,

 

I have randomly had a few issues with DCS since Saturday.

1) My VR has stopped working in DCS, I get a gray screen even though I can see it on the monitor

2) I can't launch anything in the game except training missions

3) When trying to save a miz file I get "Can't write file to x:/dcs/missions"

4) The log file has error points referring to "ERROR VFS: VFS_open_write: CreateFile(C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\temp.theatre): Access is denied.

5) The log also shows an error:

VFS: VFS_open_write: CreateFile(X:\Missions\Caucasus_Sandbox_v15.miz): The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

 

It seems to be pointing at a permissions issue but I am the only user and admin, and have full rights. I also tried running DCS in both admin and user but same result.

 

Any ideas of another direction to start exploring?

 

Cheers all

SOLVED

OK, in the interest of hopefully helping another brother out in future:

 

SOLVED!

 

I finally got to the last resort of reinstalling Win10 and it works fine now!

Whatever update I got on Saturday screwed something up for anything on one of my drives for some unknown reason.

Not the elegant solution I hoped for but it worked for me. Hope it can help others :)

 

Peace
