Uncheck Suspend Save Queue?

Post by aberly »

Problem:

UE is refusing to download. The message says the save queue is suspended, and to: uncheck 'Tasks menu->Suspend save queue'

There is no way to uncheck this. It is not a menu item that supports being checked and unchecked. And pressing it only brings up a message that says the queue is suspended.

Did you check why the save queue is suspended in the Task manager Save tab?

As the Tasks->Suspend save queue and Suspend save queue toolbar button works as designed for me.

UE will stop on any file exception, so in the save tab examine the topmost item.

what happens - when you uncheck "suspend save queue" - UE would try to save again but it stops because of the same error.

when it suspends save queue - it shows the file error which caused the exception.

e.g. someone tried to save thumbs.db which may be present as system hidden file, another reason may be disk full or, if the same file exists and is open by another application without sharing UE will fail when trying to open it for writing, saving to non-existent drive or corrupted partition etc. but again no need to guess, there is an error message in the suspend queue message box which tells the cause, you didn't mention it here.

you can change save path or clear the topmost item in the save queue. if you believe it has something to do with UE - let me know what article it was, but in the past it was always some file system error to blame.

Okay, I resaved to a different path. The problem, though, is the message that pops up when this happens doesn't mention an error. It only gives a truncated version of the path. And it looks as though the popup message screen is too small to show all that it should.

yes, maybe there is need to resize the message box when the text is too long, i've made a note here, maybe in the next version.

most likely you can get the same error when copying that file to the original location with the windows explorer.

that reminded me another well possible cause - if the save path is too long - you saved somewhere deep with long file name so the total path exceeded MAX_PATH or around 255 characters it won't be able to create the file so it will result in an error.
