Occasional error when saving or autosaving

Post by wildespace »

Started getting this after installing TR. Sometime when I save (over an already existing save, so it keeps the same name) or when autosaving when resting, I get the following error:

"Unable to complete operation due to failure renaming temp file. Temp file remains. Continue running executable?"

If I click Yes, the save isn't created.

I'm operating Windows 7.

What path have you installed Morrowind in? Is it somewhere in "My Documents"? In that case, install it somewhere else (like, in C:\Morrowind or C:\Beth\Morrowind).

Other than that, I can't help much, except I can tell you with 100% safety that this has nothing to do with TR. We don't change Morrowind.exe, and this is not something that an ESM or a BSA can mess with.

Oh, one final guess: While you are trying to save over a savegame, an antivirus is analyzing it and thus puts a file lock on the file. I don't think an antivirus actually should behave like this, though, but I'm not an expert in this.

Hello, wildespace. I`m going to hijack your thread. *Trollface*

I actually have a similar problem and I think this is caused by TR. When I load saves, my game sometimes crashes without explanation. No error message or anything. The reason I blame TR is that I have almost no other unofficial plugins.

Here`s a screenshot showing the mods I use.

You might be a little suspicious of clean carryweight, but it`s just a tweak that modifies the strength-carryweight relation.

Join all houses lets me... join all houses and spawns some quest-related NPCs that I need to kill when I activate the proper quests.

Cliffracer extinction pretty much explains itself. I do not think that is the cause of the problem as I had random crashes on loading before getting that mod.
