This PC has Kaspersky running, if that matters. I have no idea how to reproduce it a restart fixes the problem. | ||||

To our knowledge, this can only happen when something else in the OS is writing to that same file at the same time. Or in the case of something like dropbox, even just dropbox reading it locks the files. That error you posted means "The OS says you can't write to this file that you own." |
|

Yes but there's nothing that should be write-locking the file. |

Do you have any processes that are running that would be backing up that folder continuously? Dropbox is known to cause this issue. I will try to build in more robustness about this, but the core issue is other programs write-locking files when they just should be reading from them. I think that the reason they might do that is to avoid getting corrupted files -- if they are reading from a file while we are writing to it, then they wind up sending half and half to your other computers, which I'm sure is what they are trying to avoid. Unfortunately, they also break our game from being able to write to its own files when it darn well pleases when they do this. ;) |

None that I know of. Kaspersky could theoretically be checking it but I haven't encountered access violations anywhere else so I don't think it does locking. Usually I have Opera, Steam, SpringLobby (that's a lobby for Spring RTS) and iTunes open, none of which strike me as something that would lock the files. Is it possible for multiple threads of execution to lock a file against each other? |

For 0.903: * Fixed a bug where the game would crash if the OS prevented it from writing to certain files (notably, region interior data). It will now just complain bitterly in the chat log so that the player can know something is wrong but without causing additional errors due to not handling the exception. Thanks :) |
