Kernow Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Hi, Just want some advice. Yesterday my P3Dv3.4 ceased to load beyond an opening scenario appearing. As soon as any key was touched or the mouse moved across the sceen the game would crash. Bit of investigation and I could start and run the game with a clean scenery.cfg So I then start adding scenery one at a time and seeing if the game loads and runs. As soon as the Vector entries were ticked the game would cease to run. Untick the vector entries and all is well again. Something obviously doesn't get along with something else here.. Can vector be 'repaired' or would removal and a clean install be best? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Well done and thank you Doug, for linking my problem to the Windows Update. I have uninstalled this update and reactivated my Vector library entries and everything seems to be back to normal. What do we do about this? Would LM have reported this to Microsoft? I'll be following the relevent forum posts on this. Be nice to have some answers. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Good to hear all is working again for you. I am not impressed with MS and Win10 either, I use O&O SU10 and Spybot Antibeacon to keep Win10 at bay, I had just recently turned on the allow updates to do a round and must have got it locked down just before this latest update came out.

Nick Cooper Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hello, confirmed for you perhaps but here I have the update and all the FTX products and all is well. If you have not yet, try setting compatibility for Prepar3D.exe for Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
