"Error Writing File" when saving a simulation.

[Spero]

Hi, I just got Universe Sandbox on Steam today. As an amateur sci-fi writer / astrophysics enthusiast, this program is a godsend to me! However, when trying to save a simulation of a solar system I've created I get a message that says "Error Writing File" and it won't save my simulation. This only happens after the first save and I'm curious as to whether I am doing something that makes the simulation unsavable. Has anyone else had this problem. This program really helps me visualize the fictional solar systems I've created and I'd love to keep using it for that purpose.

After you get that error again can you send me the 3 log files...

(My) Documents\Universe Sandbox\Logs
... and also email the link to this page:
http://universesandbox.com/forum/index.php?topic=3486

That will help identify the problem so I can fix it in an upcoming build.

I may also be able to tell you what you've done to fix the problem in the short term.

That shouldn't happen. Are you out of hard disk space?

Now I'm not having the problem at all, go figure. Not sure what I did differently but the problem seems to have resolved itself, everything is working great now.

Well... if you ever see it again... I'd love to see your log files so I can make sure no one else has this problem. Thanks for reporting the problem.

I'm an astrophysics passionate too and i also have the same problem. The difference is that I've had it all along. I have steam version  and i 'd really want to fix it. Just tell me what to do. Appreciate the help
The log files are sandbox log, actions log and engine log.

Do you get this problem every time?

What if you load "Earth & Moon" and then save it after loading it? Does that generate an error?

It shouldn't be doing that. If you can send me the log files (after you've seen the error), that might be helpful in determining the cause of the problem.

earth and moon don't save at all. I've sent you the files. Hope they're helpful

Okay, Engine Log should definitely NOT be 2.6 megabytes.

Sounds like something is corrupted, or simply the old big n bad bug.

And because of that...

Maybe just a steam related bug...
