    The configuration is two PC's.

    GM all good on first PC. Start GE on second PC with settings loaded. Run DCS all good. Decide I want to make a change to GE. Close DCS outright and make change to GE. Click SAVE. Run DCS and GE crashes with game plugin error. As long as I don't click save in GE after running DCS once before, all is good.

    If I click save in GE after having run DCS at least once. It crashes with the plugin error on starting DCS again.

    If I click save in GE after having run DCS at least once, then close and restart GE. It doesn't crash with the plugin error on starting DCS again.

    In SimTools 2 you can turn off the game connection in Game Manager to make changes, leaving the game running, have you tried that?

    Can you please post pictures of actual error messages and all your settings.

    Thanks noorbeast for drawing my attention to that switch on the top left of GM. Will try that and report back. GE is locked while in game so that is a great feature!

    Tried it and it is still causing the crash. Turn OFF GE. Make change to GM and save. Turn ON GE and get the crash.

    It doesn't happen every time though in the first one or two tries saving a setting in GM. It will always crash GM if I make it through one or two saves though.

    Is this with your game plugin, or is it the one someone else made?
    it seems to be trying to load a game with no name, very strange.
    Will figure it out!

    Both mine and value1's.

    I've tried to go to different windows forms in GM after the save and it doesn't seem to matter. It does look like it is loosing the plugin path/filename reference after the save function.

    Thank you!
