VA Closing mid game

[pdavg]

Running VA with hsc packs and EDCopilet after about 5 mins VA closes with no warning.
See in forum this happend about 2019 . Is this the same problem?

Hi, pdavg

What you'll want to do is take a look in your installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\VoiceAttack) and see if there is a VoiceAttackFault.txt in there.  If there is not a fault file in that folder, look in %APPDATA%\VoiceAttack.

If you locate that file, take a look at the last set of entries at the end, which will have a date close to when VoiceAttack had crashed.  See if that sheds any light on what might be going on.  If you are not able to make sense out of what you are reading, upload your fault file here and I'll take a look at it for you.

ok thank you I will have a look and post update here.

Ok had a look but have no idea where the error is other than
  at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
which means nothing to me. Would be very greatful if you could take a look for me.

The most relevant line would be the one above that:

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\VoiceAttack\HCS VoicePacks\HCSPlugin.log' because it is being used by another process.

I.E. the third-party HCS Voice Packs plugin is attempting to write to a file that's in use.

That is confirmed by

   at HCSPlugin.PubVars.RecordLog(String info)
   at HCSPlugin.PubVars.ShipLockerScan()

You'll want to contact HCS Voice Packs about that, via their forum, or their Discord.

Make sure to include the full exception text, I.E.

System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\VoiceAttack\HCS VoicePacks\HCSPlugin.log' because it is being used by another process.
