Solved Falcon.exe stays open after exiting program
-
Hi,
I noticed that even though I close falcon properly, using the Exit button, it stays open in the task manager.
I noticed this since it reports it cannot open another instance when i try to invoke it again.I use the latest 4.35.U3 Win10

@janjan
I restarted my PC again and and now everything works as usual.
Problem solved.Thank you for all the suggestions.

@janjan I do not get that issue myself on Win 10 at all.
Is that a random issue or every time?
I run the exe as admin for historical reasons so might be worth a try if you do not.
-
@migbuster It is not a random thing for me.
It happens every time I run the game both as admin/non admin.What is probably related it this:
- I run the game and close it properly.
- It doe snot close as seen it the task manager so i have to terminate falcon.exe
- When I try to start the game again it always hangs - does not respond
- I need to terminate again
- Restart it (now it runs fine and when I close it it goes back to sate 2 above. Always!
I will try again after restarting my PC

@janjan Out of curiosity, why would you run BMS as admin?
It doesn’t require it…
-
@maxwaldorf I never do.
It was suggested to try by @Migbuster -
@janjan ok because this is a bad habit
-
@janjan Getting stuck in memory is a bit of an issue that shouldn’t be happening.
Are you running it in compatibility mode?
Have you tried shutting down other non essential programs especially background ones?
-
@janjan Any chance your VoiceAttack plugin for BMS is still trying to access shared memory, and not letting BMS close gracefully? Shot in the dark, but I’m thinking it has something to do with another program being a bully perhaps…
-
@janjan By any chance do you have postmortem debugging enabled … and/or running with AppVerifier?
As outlined here
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/20866/enabling-dump-files-at-all-times-ms-application-verifier-and-frozen-dump-filesIf so, do you have any heap dumps recorded?
My theory: maybe it’s recording a crash dump and it just takes a long time to write all that to disk.
