Cannot access files in Ka-50 folder

[Garfieldo]

Hi everybody, I have a very strange problem with DCSBS. I did look for a similar thread but I could not find one.

 

So what happens is that all files created by BS, like missions and screenshots, do not show up in the Windows 7 explorer.

I create a mission in the Mission Editor and save it in "...\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Missions\Multiplayer". After I quit BS the file is not there, although BS can open, edit, save and even host the mission in multiplayer.

The same goes for screenshots: I just took some in multiplayer and my buddy said that a message came up that I just took a couple of screenshots, but the Screenshot folder is empty.

 

Here is what I tried, which all doesn't work:

 

I rebooted the system :smartass:.

I removed the "write-only" property of the Ka-50 folder and all subfolders and -files.

I started BS as admin.

I used different folders to save the missions, even folders located on other HDs.

I enabled all invisible files and folders.

I looked for a Ka-50 "user folder" in Local or Roaming in my Windows user account.

 

Some info:

 

Whenever I try to copy a file into the Ka-50 folder, I can only do it with admin rights.

 

I bought the german box version 1.0 and patched to 1.0.1.

I run Windows 7 64. Everything else in BS runs fine, no glitches, no fps drops.

 

Thank you for your time and help!

 

EDIT: I deinstalled BS and made sure that the Ka-50 folder was completely erased. Then I did a reinstall (as admin) and BS still finds the missions I created with the old install.

 

EDIT2: The problem is solved now, I was on the right track but not thourough enough. On Windows 7 BS creates a "shadow folder" at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50. This is where all Screenshots and missions are stored. Maybe this helps other people that have the same problem.
