Game Crash: When saving mission in mission editor or when trying to fly the mission via mission editor.

[T3N0N]

Hello,

for some reason, I can't make a post in game crash so if a mod sees this please move it. Thanks! o7

 

I was working on a mission for a while on PG. Everything was working fine.

I added a boom tanker and an additional F-16 on the blue side to check if the tanker was working. I pressed Fly and then the game crashed.

Unlucky I thought but by now I figured out that it happens every time I try to save or fly. It's only this mission every other mission seems fine.

When I try to fly the mission via the mission tab in the main menu I get an error:
"Can not write to file: C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\tempMission.miz"

 

Here is a log file including a dxdiag. (not sure how to upload it directly here)

Here is a link to my mission:

My GPU drivers are up to date.

No overclocking

XMP is Off

I tried to repair and check files via Steam

No Mods active

Pagefile is set to 24GB+

 

All help is appreciated!
Thank!

Hi,

I tested the mission and can report that it is not corrupt and loads on my DCS with no trouble, it has around 270 units.

I suggest that you use windows to check on this location: C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\  and try to delete the tempMission.miz file manually. Keep in mind that AppData is a hidden folder, so you may have to ask windows to show hidden files.

Okay, thanks for testing.

I just deleted the temMission.miz. and also removed the read-only permission of all stuff inside AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.

Now I don't get any error message about "Can not write file" but I still crash when trying to save the mission or when trying to fly it.

The mission does not crash on my end, tough I have not flown it much as I'm not really into night flying:

 

 

Can you attach your dcs.log file generated when the mission crashes?  It may have more clues.

Already added a log file or do you mean another type of log? If so where they are located?

No, my fault, I didn't see them at first.

Took a look and there is no clear error, the scripts you use do produce several error messages, but I'm not able to interpret them, perhaps the script authors can help you better with that. For example:

 

ERROR   VFS (Main): VFS_open_write: CreateFile(C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\Mission/track/action): The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open.
2023-03-02 14:43:04.414 ALERT   LUACOMMON (Main): Error: GUI Error: [string "./Scripts/dictionary.lua"]:606: VFS_open_write: Can't create file C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\Mission/track/action

 

This is the DCS error that produces the crash, but I don't know what is the root cause:

 

2023-03-02 14:44:09.442 INFO    EDCORE (Main): # -------------- 20230302-144409 --------------

Thanks and how to figure out what that means?

no idea, but try the following:

rename your /saved games/DCS/ to DCS.bak

restart dcs, it will create a new default /saved games/DCS/ folder .. it will probably ask for your ED user credentials and you will need to adjust the graphics options anew.

run the mission again, does it work now?

if it does, then exit dcs and copy the folder /Saved games/DCS.bak/config/ to the new /saved games/DCS/ (to recover your key bindings and graphics options)

Keep the DCS.bak folder, in case you need to recover other items.
