BMS wont start after U3
Get only the “BMS & Micoprose” Screen.
After that i´ll be back on my desktop -
After setting it up from Scratch, and copying the relevant files (User .cfg, callsign.lbk & ini , RTT.client ini , Ivc_client.ini, axxis mapping.dat, device sorting.txt , phonebook.ini and keyfile ) from my U2 Backup everything works fine so far
-
Got anything in the logs?
-
@Viper avoid using custom key files that are not made for U3…
Also make sure you don’t use a custom theater.
Delete old theaters…
-
Got still some support from @Micro_440th
anyway nothing worked… installing now fro scratch
-
Yes indeed- many thanks

Quick notes for anyone having problem like this…
-
remember some old bugs still persist – BMS will still crash on startup without a complete, active Audio device path
-
use the
-mono
command line switch (ie. click the “debug” button on AL launcher screen) and tell us what it says… final 50 lines or so before a crash -
and/or any “crash.txt” logs from the User/Logs directory

@airtex2019 - still getting this crash. Updated a clean install of U2 by using AL Update option but now crashes on startup at BMS/Microprose splash screen. xlog.txt shows…

@Zeus this is an installation issue… Not related to this bug thread…
Try a full install…
-
@Zeus said in BMS wont start after U3:
[00:00:00.000] 13576 Unable to open ‘D:\Falcon BMS 4.37\Data\Sim\radar\N001_Mech.dat’, filesOpen=1
For the avoidance of doubt, it does exist, in my clean install of U3.
Check AV quarantine/action logs maybe? Seems unlikely but you never know.
Only option I can recommend is to re-install… try the new 4.37.3 all-in-one installer.
-
It complained about the logbook. Could it be missing somehow?
-
@MaxWaldorf Sorry, thought you were looking for more info on this so I just wanted to share what I had. Yes, a fresh full install works fine.
