FSUIPC Causes Fatal error


Recommended Posts

Every time I install FSUIPC Fatal error occurs. It's fine on the start up but as soon  as I choose an aircraft and load it up a fatar error occurs and I get sent back to the desktop. I have had FSUIPC before but now it doesn't work for some reason. I have also reinstalled FSX, and FSUIPC but nothing works. I can't upload what the config said though

I'm afraid I need more information.

 

Don't try "uploading" stuff here. All the information I'd need is textual -- just paste it into a message.

 

Info needed:

 

* Windows error information for the "fatal error" from the Windows event viewer.

* FSUIPC4 log, as far as it went (from the FS Modules folder

* List of other add-ons being used.

I don't have a log file. When I start fsx up, I have about 5 seconds before a fatal error occurs. 

The only addons I have are GSX and the IFLY 737.

I have included the log I get on install. Not sure if this will help though.

Thanks!

I don't have a log file. When I start fsx up, I have about 5 seconds before a fatal error occurs. 

 

If FSUIPC is not producing a run-time log, then it is not being run as that is the first thing it does. Earlier you said

 

 It's fine on the start up but as soon  as I choose an aircraft and load it up a fatar error occurs

 

 

which is completely different to what you say now. Which is it?

What happens is when I start FSX With FSUIPC installed, the start up works fine, I get to choose an aircraft, load up and everything. But once I load up and the aircraft is on the ground, I get the fatal error. I hope this clears up some confusion.

 

Not really, because you contradicted yourself completely earlier -- you said no log is produced because "when I start fsx up, I have about 5 seconds before a fatal error occurs". Obviously you cannot have FS loaded and choose an aircraft in that time 

 

So, I repeat. If FS is running with FSUIPC installed then there will be a run-time log file. It is that I need to see. I cannot help you otherwise. It is impossible to help anyone with zero information, surely you can see that?

 

You also need to find the data about this fatal error from the Windows event viewer. That tells me where the error occurs and what sort of error it is. I did ask for this information 4 days ago!

Sorry for the confusion. Here is what is happening. I get fsx loaded up and I choose the aircraft, load it and then it crashes.

There you go. The weather file is corrupt. FSUIPC isn't causing the crash, it's just reading the weather

 

Cheers!

Actually it's the Windows crash report, and as Luke says, it shows the culprit is WEATHER.DLL, not FSUIPC4.DLL. Look again:

 

 

 

Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14

 

Faulting module name: weather.dll, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb59

Fault offset: 0x0001542f
Faulting process id: 0x17a4
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf45fe2afce19a
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\weather.dll
Report Id: c433b299-b1f3-11e3-bfb8-8fcd07bee207
 
The other log you supplied is NOT the "FSX.LOG" but an FSUIP4.LOG, and it actually shows a completely successful session and a normal close as you can surely see:
 
    37425 *** FSUIPC log file being closed

G3D fix: Passes 1097, Null pointers 0, Bad pointers 0, Separate instances 0

********* FSUIPC Log file closed ***********

 

 

The crash is because SimConnect is not resilient to corrupted weather data, and this makes itself felt when FSUIPC is running because it is reading the weather data from Simconnect at regular intervals so it can feed it to client applications.

 

I see you aren't actually using FSUIPC4 for anything yourself -- it isn't registered! So either remove it so it doesn't read weather, or change the WeatherReadFactor in its INI file to zero so it doesn't read weather, or try fixing your weather system. I suspect you have a corrupt file -- maybe wxstationlist.bin in the same folder as your FSX.CFG, or more likely one of the .WX files in your documents\Flight Simulator X files folder. Try deleting them all.
