Create a new mission in editor, save/save as does not work

[dikkeduif]

I tried creating a new mission with the editor, but it does not allow me to save the mission.

 

Can reproduce 100%:

 

- Mission editor

- Create new mission

- Choose a map

- Press file -> Save/Save As

Hi. I cannot reproduce your crash. Try the cleanup and repair procedure.

Hi, I did a cleanup and repair, took some time to complete, but that did not resolve the issue.

 

Just to be clear, it does not produce a crash, I can still exit the editor, I just can't save anything. Each time I press save I'm getting the log I pasted above.

Hi, I'm on latest Open Beta and have no issues with Saving or Saving as, so it is probably an issue on your DCS Saved Games files .. can you upload the whole log? It would allow us to check if you perhaps have a User Mod that is conflicting with the ME?

Hey Rudel, your post gave me an idea. I went into the Saved Games folder and removed the directory MissionEditor and restarted. That fixed the problem. Thanks for the tip :)

I've seen this solution before. Good job. :thumbup:
