Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - Technical Issues FileSystem Error?

Hi, I haven't played DOS EE after i finished DOS. But, after download, I cant play it as I keep getting an error saying File System Error saying Failed to create Dir:...... What can i do to fix it? I tried to "Try starting the game directly from the '..\SteamApps\common\Divinity - Original Sin\Shipping\EoCApp.exe' program file by right clicking and running as administrator (the GOG version should already be set to run as administrator by default).
If applicable, try right clicking EoCApp.exe and selecting Properties, then switch to the Compatibility tab and check 'Disable display scaling on high DPI settings', and maybe try Win 7 compatibility mode, or something." already. What other solution should i do?

Are you shutting down all non-essential programs (especially anti-virus) before starting the game? Firewalls have caused conflicts (generally on loading screens, though).
A couple of people have had BitDefender falsely flag the EE as ransomware, and block it from creating files and folders (in that case, adding the game and My Documents Larian Studios folder to the trusted app and directory section of BitDefender fixes the problem).

Try checking your drive for errors. In Windows Explorer, right click the drive and select Properties, switch to the Tools tab and click Check Now in the Error-checking section.


Try browsing to the '..\Documents\Larian Studios' folder and deleting the 'Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition' subfolder.
This folder contains the saved games, configuration files and a level cache folder. Normally I would suggest renaming the folder for troubleshooting purposes, but if you don't have any saved games that isn't an issue.
Next, extract the replacement folder from the download below into your '..\Documents\Larian Studios' folder. That should at least let you start the game, but you would need to check if you could create a new profile or start a new game and save and load properly.

The graphicSettings.lsx file is set to 1280x720 Windowed mode, Very Low quality preset, which you can change in the options (manually, or hit autodetect) if this gets the game to start and you don't have any further issues creating folders.

If that doesn't help, delete the downloaded My Documents D:OS folder.


Try creating a new Windows administrator user account, leaving the My Documents folder in the default location, switch to that account, and then start the game directly from the '..\SteamApps\common\Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition\Shipping\EoCApp.exe' program file, by right clicking and running as administrator.
If that lets you start the game, that would mean there was either a problem with the current user account's My Documents folder, or a conflict with something running in the background.

Thanks Bitdefender was making it as a ransomware. =/ but i duno how to add the my document into the trusted list tho.

In Bitdefender, click on the icon with the down arrow in a circle to open the modules window, under the Protection tab select Antivirus, then select the Exclusions tab, make sure Exclusions for files is turned on and click on Exclude files and folders.
