    Bit of a work around, someone with newer versions of photoshop like me might find this page useful!:

    I don't mean to be rude, but that was the first thing I tried. The later versions of photoshop don't support the DDS plugin directly, that is why I needed to use a workaround.

    No problem. I didn't know these issues with latest versions. Thanks for posting.

    Clicking "save as" works in both cc 2014 and 2015 for me with the plugin. The plugin does not act the same way as it did in the cs versions. It is just integrated into photoshop in the newer ones. That is why I asked if You tried "save as"

    All you have to do is go to NVidia's Texture Tool page, whether you have their hardware or not, and download the Texture tool/DDS plugin they have for Photoshop.

    I use them on every version of Photoshop, I use CC now and from all versions CS2 on(I have used), their format and functionality is identical.
