ERROR: Lock file is already being held

Alaron · Mar 17th 2023

Once every couple of times i close the game my progress just isn't saving and everything i have done in last raids just doesn't save.

Your profile saves to disk every ~20 seconds or so, if you close the server too quickly after a raid/action it won't be saved

Try looking for a file in your SPT folder with the word 'lock' in it, if it exists, delete it.

It didn't change anything im trying to install a new version without mods and try how that works

No i still get the error

When you installed the new version did you delete the old folder first?

Also make sure you've not installed SPT into a protected folder, by default this includes:

c:\Users\<username>\*
c:\Users\Public\*

Yes i deleted the old folder and i installed it in different folder than listed above.
Im going to try to boot everything up and see how it works and inform you.

What worked for me is making a backup then going in through to your spt folder
going to user/profiles
then there should be a file there that looks like a folder and ends with .json.lock

Delete then wait till the server says profile changes saved and then close and reopen everything and that worked for me

Yes this worked for me too thank you all for help now i can finally enjoy this beautifull game.
