#10016 : Unable To Save File To Disk

[=DFA=FixieRider]

I'm baffled at what could be causing this error message, if anyone has any ideas I'd be super greatful.  Here's a rundown on what happens:

 

The server appears in the server browser listing, clients click [Join Server] and enter in the server password, then receive this message and are kicked back to the server browser.

 

I've got ports 28000 - 28100 all opened up, and users can connect just fine when the server is running the default missions.  I'm truly stumped.

I noticed with this specific server that it wants to download the .mission and .list files into the \multiplayer\cooperative folder instead of the \multiplayer\dogfight folder like all the other servers.  It may or may not be related, just wanted to throw it out there as something I noticed.

Yeah, turns out it's just replicating the directory structure defined in the server sds file.  Still gives the same error, unfortunately.

RESOLVED!  Solution as follows:

 

FYI, If you open the editor and the game launcher at the same time, and you save in the editor that .list file will never fill out (it will be totally empty).  It is apparently a sort of checksum file and should have data in it like this:

filename="multiplayer/dogfight/[mission name].eng","[checksum]"

filename="multiplayer/dogfight/[mission name].ger","[checksum]"

filename="multiplayer/dogfight/[mission name].pol","[checksum]"

filename="multiplayer/dogfight/[mission name].rus","[checksum]"

If you subsequently receive "#10017 File Transfer Error" then double check the entries in this file as, in our case, the editor saved it with "cooperative" instead of "dogfight" as the sub-directory.  Just change these paths on the server's .list file and when the clients go to download them it should work correctly.

This issue shows up when you have a mission with the same filename name as the one on the server, but the actual in-game mission is a different file (usually updated/older/modified with FMB in some way). To prevent this from happening, either delete the mission in your data/multiplayer/dogfight folder or have whoever is running the server/mission make sure they're adding versions to the filename when they change the mission up in the editor (MyMission100, MyMission101, MyMission102, etc...never the same mission filename twice).

This issue was actually caused by the .list file directories not matching the actual location of the mission on the server.

Now I will joyn to this topic.

 

Yesterday I was flying like every day without any problem but today well... Game was CTD at startup while login to my accout. Wierd as hell. There was no updates of any of my softwares (win10, TIR, game). After 30 min of fighting with this thing Ive reinstalled game and it worked, I mean almost 'cos now Im seeing this #10016.

 

I will try yours solutions but my question is what the hell coused all this problems. Any thoughts ?

 

And one more thing - Im using steam version.

If this happens again, save yourself the reinstall trouble and just delete all the files in the IL2 Battle of Stalingrad/data/multiplayer/dogfight folder (paraphrasing that folder structure, I'm not at my home PC right now).

 

And if you must reinstall for whatever reason, you can save your "input" folder and copy it to another location, reinstall, then copy the input folder back into the IL2 folder where it was originally and save your keybinds.

Holy thread revival Batman, i know . . . . Sorry

 

We`re getting the #10016 error and i understand it`s the '.list. file, as mine is empty and when i share the mission files with all, we can all join our server.

 

I`ve read that having the launcher AND ME open has been mentioned to cause this, however i never use the launcher and still my '.list' file is empty.

 

Is there a bug at the minute with this version of the DServer? If nobody else is getting this, or it`s sort of random, it must be a sequence of events causing this file to generate empty when saving the mission.

 

The only thing i can think that I`ve done differently is saving the mission as single player while i test, then when I`m happy with it, change to MP and save elsewhere. Maybe it doesn`t like this?

 

Whatever the issue, is there any way to generate the contents of the '.list' file, so getting us up and running isn`t a huge pain of having to email files to everyone etc.?

FYI, I get the error on any Kuban map missions.  List files look correct.

[[SRH]Festa_VR_Noob]

I found out what the issue was for me, but doubt it will help you if the list file is correct.

 

For the issue where there list file is 0kb and blank, it was because I populated the map from groups etc in the main game folder, and 'save as' the map to a different install of IL2. It` s like it loses references to the groups.

 

Now I just save in the multiplayer folder of the main game and then copy/paste over to the server install.

Are you getting this error if you try to fly a single-player mission? If so, check the .list file in the folder where your mission is saved. Each line in the .list file should start with filename="missions/" followed (optionally) by a subfolder, a mission-related file name, and finally a "hexadecimal" number such as 9e3ef1d0. 

E.g., filename="missions/mymissions/testmission1.eng","9e3ef1d0". Your mission must be saved in the exact location specified in the .list file.

 

A Campaign .list file would have filename="campaigns/...".

After recent updates were completed I noticed the error #10016. I was making a mission so did not worry about it as the game seemed ok. Until I tried to fly. The controls were not working. I thought ah just unplug all usb ports and restart (windows updates caused issues in the past). By accident I found I could not open the input folder. via explorer Somehow the path to the folder was corrupted. So I need to get a clean folder and start again to set up the controls.

Having the same issue trying to host with "Dserver" on the same pc from the same installation as i'm "joining from".

-Trying to move the files or make copies of them does not work, as i get other errors then. I suspect the game and server files have a hardcoded location for the files, and are unable to understand that the server running the mission files will not let the game download and place the same files at the same location as they are already in use.

 

However when i host from a diffrent pc, there is no problem.

- So it might work to have 2 installations of the game just to run the server side by side with the game on the same pc.

- I avoid hosting any missions from within the game itself, as sometimes the performance on long missions turns to a powerpoint presentations for other clients. And speed calculated gets totaly screwed up. Clients can report flying at 500km/h at 1fps only to have the host overtake them at a lower speed with the regular full fps..  So i do not trust the ingame hosting function with Pat Wilsons Campaign missions.
