Error Message: Save Failed!

Hi all,

I've recently been trying to create a goodbye arc in the AE but I've been finding that whenever I attempt to save it, I get a glaring red alert in the save window telling me that it's not saved.

I recently built a new computer and moved my CoX directory to the new machine. Although the game runs fine and my previously saved missions are in the folder I left them, I can't seem to save this new one or edit any of my previous ones. I'm guessing that it's looking at the wrong folder but can't find a way to change that.

My previous machine was running Windows XP 32bit and my new machine runs Windows 7 64bit if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I'd guess a permissions error.
UAC

Possibly running CoV as an admin or changing the permissions on the folder where the missions ares saved.

Well running CoX in Administrator mode worked and I was able to save it while I worked on it so thank you. Now however, it won't let me publish. I'm not sure if things are just getting shaky in our last month or whether something else is up but I've not had this problem before. I've got a spare slot to publish to, I'm in Admin mode and the arc has no errors. Any ideas folks?

There's a bug in your mission somewhere that the game isn't telling you about. That's my first guess.

I haven't made a mission ins quite some time. I forget how to track down those sorts of bugs. But I recall having that frustration with some missions I tried to publish.

I don't recall if I had to try and test the mission or what exactly. But the failure to publish is probably not due to something on your machine.

that's my guess anyway.
