Help please! FSX crash when loading flight

gavoon1 · January 31, 2016

So after to talking to you guys I did a flight in the airbus and everything was fine.

Today I downloaded ENB SERIES linked from cedarjet youtubes chanel. Fsx loaded up fine the when I clicked fly now: the loading doesnt even start it just crashes...

I uninstalled ENB.. and looked through my FSX root folder and found 10 crash files...

FSX_62615_crash....mdmp etc..

Any ideas?

Gavin

Was everything fine after you uninstalled ENB?

The Ben · February 1, 2016

That happens when you have game boosters installed like "Razer Cortex". Make sure you uninstall them first.

gavoon1 · February 1, 2016

Nope it doesn't work still. I uninstalled ENB. It still crashes once I click fly now it just goes black and the white loading box never starts loading after 4 seconds it crashes. Should I re-install FSX. One guy to me to delete the logbook.bin in my FSX folder. ( cant find that )

Look for "dxgi.dll" or "d3d9.dll" in your fsx folder, if you find it, delete it.

can you post the content of your dll.xml and exe.xml please?

Does that mean anything to you?

Cause If I re-intall FSX SE that should fix the issue.. But I will have to re-intsall all the Addons.

Any Ideas?

I don't think those will tell us anything Gavin.

The versions of dll.xml and exe.xml we need to look at are located in your user profile. Look in this folder.

C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX or possibly FSX-SE at the end.

Also, it could help to see if there are any error reports in the Windows Application Log connected to the crash.

Not 100% sure on how to get to those in Windows 8 though.. in Win 7 and Win 10 they are accessed by Right Clicking on Computer in the Explorer and clicking Manage. From there it's going to be a bit of a shot in the dark for me as I'm running a Swedish version of Windows, so I'm not up to speed on the English vocabulary. My guess is that it is Logs - Windows Logs - Applications. See the image below.

Step one is to navigate to the appropriate log using the tool structure to the left, use the icons as a guide since this one is in swedish. I'm pretty sure the order is the same on an Windows installation using the English Language Pack.

Once the log file for Applications is loaded scroll through the list for any posts with a red circle and the text Error in the first column, or check for "Application Error" in the Source column. In the first row of text in the description you'll find the application that was the source of the error, and if you are lucky there will also be a reference to a .dll-file associated with the crash.

MyPC8MyBrain · February 2, 2016

Thank you Mikael,

FYI accessing the log on 8 is the same as on 7 or 10

anywhere you see "my computer" icon; right click and select manage,

stu7708 · February 2, 2016

Good to know Chris!

And I should possibly also have added that the "AppData"-folder is hidden by default, so to be able to see that you will need to set windows to show hidden folders and files.

Could anyone with an English installation of Windows possibly help with how to enable that in case Gavin needs it!

gavoon1 · February 2, 2016

Ahaha You guys are probably laughing very hard and righlty so!

MyPC8MyBrain · February 2, 2016

we're loughing with you

here's your EXE.XML code, replace your old with this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="Launch">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Couatl</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>Addon Application</Name>
<Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>
<CommandLine/>
<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

to compare; below is your old EXE.XML,
i stripped out "EZdok camera addon" entry

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="Launch">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>Addon Application</Name>
<Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>

So replace the tope thing with my old DLL. XML in my APPDATA/ FSX SE folder?

I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing.

Gavin

stu7708 · February 3, 2016

Since there is a mention of EZCA.exe in your log-files that's a good place to start, although I think Chris had a slight brain fart.. Just replace every mention of DLL.xml in his last post with EXE.xml

Also remember to make a backup of your original exe.xml before you start to have something to roll back on in case of failure...

Also, do you know what this bit in the EXE.xml is referring to?

<Launch.Addon>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>Addon Application</Name>
<Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>
<CommandLine/>
<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
</Launch.Addon>

Never seen that one before.

MyPC8MyBrain · February 3, 2016

I think Chris had a slight brain fart..

Oops... :th_blush:

two tiny mistakes in the description above the code fixed; the code snippet itself was/is fine :whis: ,

i wondering about that strange entry too; since its disabled it’s not likely to effecting this condition,

Ahh.. missed that the Disabled tag was set to TRUE

gavoon1 · February 4, 2016

What this going to do?

Is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document version="1,0" Type="Launch">
<Descr>Launch</Descr>
<Filename>EXE.xml</Filename>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Couatl</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
<Launch.Addon>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Name>Addon Application</Name>
<Path>C:\MyPath\Addon.exe</Path>
<CommandLine/>
<NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
</Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

I put this in my EXE.XML or DLL.XML.

I will try this ( if its right ) But lets say I decide to re-install FSX SE tmr, and that doesnt work does that mean my drivers need to be updated cause last time I checked ( not long ago ) they where fine.

But if the re-installation doesnt work what could I do. I just want to know my options in that case. I would un-install before re-installing FSX SE through steam obviously and then check to see if it still crashes when I click FLY NOW". If it works I will install my addons and make sure its a clean installation. I hope to get flying for the weekend, If its not fixed by then I dont know what to do.

Thanks- gavin

MyPC8MyBrain · February 4, 2016

replace EXE.XML content; save and run FSX,

gavoon1 · February 4, 2016

That didnt work... I will try plan b re-install FSX.

Thanks agin Gavin.

Ps let you know if It doesnt work, we can further troobleshoot. I wont open a new topic

Gavin

gavoon1 · February 5, 2016
