UE Explorer running while XCOM running?

[Amineri]

Has anyone noticed odd behavior if UE Explorer is still open and has a upk file open?

 

This occurred to me recently while tracing through some perk tree issues, and it caused my soldiers to not display on the plinth in the barracks view. Everything else seemed to be working correctly.

 

Seems very odd .... is the game somehow trying to modify the upk file and failing because UE Explorer has the file opened?

I can't say that I've ever noticed a problem, but maybe because I use an older version of UE Explorer. I reported a bug to Eliot about UE Explorer 1.2.2.1 not closing the file properly after it has read it, so perhaps the issue you're having is related.

 

I also normally (not always) have backup file open in UE Explorer, rather than the UPK from the game folder so that I'm able to refer to UE Explorer while making changes in a hex editor. Of course, this might be why I've not experienced the issue you mention :smile:

 

Unfortunately I haven't been able to make use of some of the nifty features in the latest version, but the file locking issue really disrupts my workflow :/ . Not taking anything away from UE Explorer though, it's obviously an excellent tool :smile:
