[Fixed] Possible Windows 10 bug? Unable to write to disk

[burgeymeister]

So I just upgraded to Windows 10 and now I'm encountering an error message when starting up the game that goes something like this: "Warning: Unable to write to disk! Data will not be saved if you continue playing!" It's really bothering me and I don't know how to fix it...

Any ideas anyone?
- Thanks

Trackmania United is a 2006 game made for Windows Vista, but also for Windows 7. Because that Windows 8 and up uses a different programming language, playing this game is incompatible. Even though it may work, it will have difficulties no matter what.

Always consider which games are/might be compatible and which are/might not whenever you want to upgrade your OS. :)

Nah mate I set the game to "Run as Administrator" in the .exe properties (even though my user account is Admin) and that fixed the issue. I probably should have closed this discussion :P

I could suggest things but you've probably tried them all. Have you verified the integrity of the game cache for TMU?

yep
it did have some missing files, but even after reacquiring them, it still didn't work.

Last suggestion (hopefully you know how to do it and what I mean): make sure the TMU is allowed in Windows Firewall (should just be in "Inbound Rules").

Yep, it is.
I do have the ReShade shader injectors if that means anything.

Have you tried disabling them at all then? Or doing a reinstall of your files (keep your save/cfg files though I guess)?

[Kibōchen]

I've uninstalled the shader injector. It did nothing. :(

Copy your files to the desktop, just as a backup for saves and config etc., and then uninstall TMU and reinstall on Steam then?

Yea ok :) At least that way you will know if it works or not and you'll still have your save files.
