Getting 'external file change' error all the time

When i'm using the attribute editor, i very often get this error message after it has been open for some time. I've made sure not to have the archive viewer or any other related programs open at the same time to rule that out, but to no avail. This error used to be very rare when i was making 'Make CoH Great Again' a while back. Does anyone know what's up?

I got the error some time ago when I edited one file in Notepad++.
If that's not the case, maybe some program tries to access the file, like a cloud synchronization folder or virusscan?

Yeah that thing with notepad++ sounds right, and i noticed it happens right after i click save in the attribute editor. I closed notepad++ even though i had already closed all relevant tabs, and that seems to have fixed it

EDIT: Nope, that didn't fix it

SHOUT IT OUT!

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.

Willy Pete: @Nickbn you didn't ask a question, and this is a chat box...

Nickbn: @Rosbone it's incredibly rude to speak on someone elses behalf, especially when a question is directly adressed to them. I understand your passion for the subject at hand but I want to hear from him.

Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.

Nickbn: @Rosbone do you speak on his behalf? I didn't know. In that case keep us updated please.

Rosbone: @Nickbn True except, the only people on the Relic Discord/Reddit/Steam are brain washed monkey zealots. They wont even understand what @adamírcz is talking about. Anyone else is banned.
16 Mar 2025, 17:54 PM

Nickbn: @adamírcz might be a better idea to voice this to relic directly than to voice it here, in a shoutbox of a nearly deade fansite #justsaying...

webdesign-muenchen-w: @Rosbone it is sick

aerafield: @adamírcz aren't the first two disconnects free every day?
14 Mar 2025, 19:26 PM

Rosbone: It is so unlike Relic to punish its fans and community.
14 Mar 2025, 12:07 PM

adamírcz: So, I just got a leaver penalty without even getting onto the loading screen because of the game disconnecting, bravo Relic

Rosbone: It is an indicator of the very short sighted capitalist view that plagues any company where leadership does not understand the product.
