Error after 5.0-11863

[matheusstaffa]

After the 5.0-11863 when i open dolphin appears a error message:
IOS_FS: Failed to rename temporary FST file.
After clicking "ok" twice i can play properly but something happened after the last update.
Thanks

Could you enable the COMMON logs (set the log level/verbosity to Info) and post your Dolphin logs?

For context, 5.0-11863 dealt with the FST issue with Medal of Honor Vanguard.

For some reason, this error doesn't happen anymore and i didn't updated dolphin. I really don't know what happened.

I had the same problem

My Wii Nand folder is on a network folder on an usb stick because I want to share it between multiple computer.

When I change that folder to another on my hdd the problem disappear.

And finally, the problem came from avira antivirus, after removing it, no problem anymore

Strange thing, I wanted to do some test and install avira on another computer and the ios_fs message appears, but only once...

And I finally found that when you change Wii nand folder to a network place on a slow drive, Dolphin is very long to start, because it write some temporary files into that folder, is there no way to put those temporary files in windows temp folder ?

I am having the same problem "IOS_FS: Failed to rename temporary FST file"

It happens all the time when starting up.

I also see this error in the log file:

52:05:367 Common\FileUtil.cpp:271 I[COMMON]: Rename: C:\Dolphin-x64-Client\User\ResourcePacks\Packs.ini.xxx --> C:/Dolphin-x64-Client/User/ResourcePacks//Packs.ini

Everything is r/w permissions, no antivirus enabled and I am using a portable installation.

Thanks

Make sure you have only one instance of Dolphin running. And that you don´t have that file opened somewhere (e.g. Notepad).

I am not running any other instantces of Dolphin when I get this errror. Nothing is open in notedpad or any other location. I went back to version 5.0-11873 and the problem is still occuring. I reinstalled clean and it is still happening. Looks like the rename operation is happening or attempts to happen several times in a row. Antivirus is disabled, all files have user permissions on them and are r/w.

I also get this error on occasion when enabling /disabling a Gecko code:

I believe it's an AV issue, try disabling yours then running Dolphin, then re-enabling and running Dolphin again. If it persists, try adding an exception for Dolphin.
