Problem with GSX 2.9.4 | Only works once after LiveUpdate
disco79stu:
I have a huge problem with today's update (2.9.4):
After running LiveUpdate, GSX works as expected, everything looks ok, Logo are there.
But when I run P3D (v5.2) a second time OR I reset my position through the GSX menu, GSX becomes unresponsive (menu won't show).
Restarting Couatl through the Add-Ons menu tab does not solve the problem, restarting the Sim does not work.
Menu entries are still there, but GSX just won't respond.
It's only when I run LiveUpdate again, GSX will work again, but only for one time.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Stu

I can't reproduce the problem. Tried several restarts, works every time. Tried both by exiting and restarting the sim, and using the "Restart Couatl" as well.

Are you sure you have the latest 5.2 hotfix, and you installed using the FULL installer ( not just the Client ). This seems the very well known problem of the Simconnect menu being stuck freezing the sim. If you update just using the Client, the menu system might not be updated so, you might still running using the bugged Html menu.
And if you haven't installed the hotfix, it's sure the menu will freeze the sim.

That might indicate you are running the sim in a wrong Compatibility mode. It's possible Windows has set a wrong compatibility setting in the registry for you, because the previous session crashed. The Live Update fixes that, by resetting all compatibility flags to default, that explains why it seem fixed that way.

That doesn't seem to be the "same" problem at all. The OP reported he couldn't start the sim a 2nd time without having the SIM freezing, which was eventually fixed by running the FSDT Live Updater, indicating a problem with the sim itself ( not updated correctly or using the wrong compatibility settings )
You are reporting something that looks very different, a "GSX crash", with no further details like an error message or something like that so, please clarify.

I'm running the latest P3D version, no compatibility modes active, sim did not crash.
Everything worked perfectly the previous months, I have never had problems with GXS until today's update.
But I noticed after closing the sim, the process "couatl64_P3D.exe" keeps running. Could that be a hint?
