P3D v4.1 is visible in taskmanager, but no splash screen


Recommended Posts

Moved to Main Forum !  Please send question always in Main Forum.

Dear Sir,

I am running Win 10, P3D v4.1 and  FSUIPC 5.122a (I use a lot of Goflight equipment).
When I start P3D v 4.1 the program is visible in the taskmanager.
But there is no splash screen, when I rename DLL.XML to "whatever"; P3D starts normally.

I deleted subsequently every input in DLL.xml and I found out that the issue is at FSUIPC.
However it is a bit more complex, when I reinstall FSUIPC 5.122  over the current version of FSUIPC, P3D v4.1 starts perfectly to the splash screen.
Every when I shutdown Win 10, I need to reinstall FSUIPC to get to the splash screen of P3D v4.1.
As you understand reinstalling FSUIPC everytime when I want to play P3D v4.1 is a bit annoying.
Would you be so kind to help me this issue.

Attached are the two key files of FSUIPC

Greetings Martin

As Thomas says, the LOG is the most important file. It is made to show what is happening. And check: is a new log being made when youhave one of the failed loads? If so, we need a long form a "normal" run AND the one from the failed run.

Usually the reason for a problem on load which is fixed by a re-install indicates that the previous session of P3D did not terminate successfully, so the DLL gets "marked" in the registry.  This stops it loading, but SimConnect stupidly doesn't notice this and tries to enter it. The installer clears this 'black' mark.

What about when you close P3D, without closing Win10?

The log doesn't terminate. When was that made, after a bad start or a good one? If the latter you need to let P3D close first.

I see it doesn't get as far as even loading the GFDev driver for GoFlight.

Also it is a log from 5.122a, whereas the Installer only installs 5.122. How is that?

Oh, one other thing: try removing the GFDev64.DLL, see if you get problems without the GoFlight devices.

Dear Pete,

I would like to attach the new logs and the ini file after a full stop of P3D v4.1, when I reinstalled. But I cannot upload them (due to a limit). The previous files prevents me from uploading new files.

What I did till now:
I deleted FSUIPC.dll from the modules directory and reinstalled FSUIPC (the latest version from Shiratti).
I also removed GFDev64.Dll but that did not solve the issue either.
Hoping for a solution.
 

Greetings Martin

Files? Only need the Log. If that's too big there's something badly wrong, as there's not much to it by default. You can ZIP it in any case, it ZIPS up well.

No way. That is simply not possible. you are doing something else wrong.

Replacing 5.122 with 5.122, no matter whether from here (in the Downloads subforum) or Scvhiratti won't change anything as the exact same file results!

I've never heard of any such small limit, and certainly not a cumulative one! Just take a look at the many other posts in this forum with many and larger attachments. Maybe you are using some odd method? I'd check what you are doing if I were you, or if you are being victimised for some reason, post a problem report on your Simmarket account.

Anyway, if it is that small why not simply paste its contents into your message? Use the <> button above the edit area and paste it.

That's the log from a good working sessio, no problem.

Just for your info when P3D v4.1 is only in the taskmanager (no splash screen appears) there is no FSUIPC5.log file generated.

In that case FSUIPC isn't actually being loaded, as it starts the Log immediately. This is exactly the sort of problem which occurs when the previous session ended with a problem which is somehow attributed to FSUIPC. So my guess is that something you are using is causing a hang or crash in one of the many threads, or possibly in a lower level (driver).

Are you saying you don't have admin rights when you run P3D normally? That's a mistake. Many things need it to be run in your main owner-administrator account.

So, perhaps that's the solution?

Dear Pete,

I transferred all my personal files to that new account made by me, (by the way both had admin rights and P3D ran with admin previleges).

Finally, I just removed the first account, it was maybe corrupted.

Now everything just works fine like it should do.

This PC is my simulation PC only:)

Anyway thanks for the quick support.

Greetings Martin

Hilfe!

Ich kaufte gestern FSUIPC5 installierte es auf 64bit für den P3D V4. Jetzt lässt sich P3D nicht mehr starten. Ich habe gelesen, man muss die neue dll 5.122 gegen die ältere Version ersetzen. Wo finde ich diese DLL?

Danke für jeden Hinweis.

In my new profile I I now have the same issue again, P3D goes in the taskmanager and no splash screen again.

When I reinstall FSUIPC again every thing works fine.

There was also an entry of FSUIPC in  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\

there is a key for "Prepar3D.exe" in there with a value of "$ IgnoreFreelibrary<FSUIPC5.dll>" should it be there?

No, and the FSUIPC Installer removes it. Also I believe the next update for P3D4 will delete them.

Those entries are made by windows when a program crashes on exit. Windows blames the last component of that program still running, which is sometimes a thread of FSUIPC -- things like tidying up WideFF connections, Lua plug-ins and so on, is done whilst P3D is closing. Some Lua plug-ins, like those used by LINDA for some devices, use other external DLs and device drivers which sometimes don't shut down properly.

Check the Windows Event Viewer to see if Windows has logged crashes or other errors in P3D. They will be the reason and may help identify which add-on is really causing the problem. However, quite often P3D seems to "crash to desktop" as if it has closed, and with no error information at all!
