Condor

Hello,

For about a week now, every time I land my plane, the game crashes immediately with this message:
Avion.LogbookEndFlight at 19:00:55: Cannot create file "C:\Users\requi\Documents\Condor\Pilots\Coolrastaman_Jah\logbook.txt". Access is denied.

I have attached the error log file, hope it helps and please if someone know whats going on I would appreciate,

regards,

r.

Probably a pb with your firewall.
try to deactivate your antivirus and firewall.

Or windows anti ransom ware

Yes thank you, for some reason AVG decided to block condor.exe from writing in //documents all sorted.

Thanks for the report: same problem, same solution !

Thanks ! Same issue with Avast. An exception to be added on the Condor.exe

Same issue. Exceptions created in AVG for the Condor folders in C and documents. Restarted. No change in behaviour, still Condor BSOD on end of landing roll.
- reinstalled both Patch 2.1.5 and Hangar 16, no change.
- tried several sceneries including Slovenia2, no change.
- tried online and offline, no change.
- i7-7700k, Radeon RX5600XT 6 GB, 16 GB RAM.

I run a club weekly task; last week, first of the post-real life Condor season. Two pilots (of seven) had complete computer crashes, and three had Condor 2 blue screens on end of landing roll.

I have e-mailed support four times, with the original error log, and screen shots; and three other e-mails with added detail as I troubleshoot. No response to any so far.

I am about to go downstairs and do a full reinstall of Condor, then updating to latest patch and Hangar. I will report back here (and by e-mail to support).

This is the first time I've had anything like this (Condor 1 from 2006, Condor 2 from announcement).

Cheers

With most anti-virus you can assign directories it will not scan / have any effect over.

It's one of the first things I do for Condor after install. I set my anti-virus so it will ignore any going ons in the Condor install directory. This will also help with load times and freezes due to scenery distance updates whilst flying in game. Yes there is a small risk if something nasty were to make it into the Condor install file however I rely on my AV to tell me it has found a nasty when running an update etc which the nasty will have originated from.

logbook.txt is stored in mydocuments. If your virusscanner blocks condor.exe from writing in that folder it will bluescreen on landing as it tries to write the flighttime to your logbook when you come to a stop.

I have made antivirus exceptions to both the Documents folder, and the Condor 2 folder on the C: drive, and it still blue-screens on landing. Pic of the exceptions here: I don't know why there is also a logbook in the Condor2 folder.

Thank you for the quick response.

I have also allowed Condor access through the Windows Firewall. I see something in App & browser control called "Check apps and files" with "Microsoft Defender SmartScreen" that 'checks for unrecognized apps and files from the web'. I will try turning it off and report back.
[update 10 mins later] - Turning of "ms defender smartscreen" doesn't help, still crashes.

I will have lunch and reinstall Condor 2.

I've flown Condor since 2006 and C2 since it came out without any issue. This is bothersome...

Add your whole condor directory too, see if that helps as so:

Rename the Logbook (in ..\Documents\Condor\Pilots\YOURPILOTNAME) and try again.

@Paul and EDB - this fixed it, no bluescreen. Thank you!!!!

Same problem here!!!
I was just going to ask the same thing.
Thanks for this solution work great.

What’s causing the pilot name to be wrong?
