Problem with GSX 2.9.4 | Only works once after LiveUpdate
disco79stu:
Let's just hope they fix this quickly...

I have the same problem as anyone else...
After looking at the sim it seems that when you restart the sim after shutdown, and go to add ons it reverts to trial mode which could be an issue.
Update to the lastest version, works and is active, if you shut down then reload, it reverts to trial mode.
Any suggestions?

We had ANOTHER update ( though it hasn't been listed in the release notes yet ) yesterday so, even if you updated the 8th, it doesn't mean you have the latest version so, please, try again.
The difference is this new update will AUTOMATICALLY clear the C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl folder at each restart, something you HAD to do manually at each start in the first version of the fix ( or using a batch file, as suggested in previous posts )
This means:
- If you tried the first version of the 8th fix, and you didn't clear the folder before each start, it was expected to not work on a 2nd launch because, the first version of the fix only fixed a restart in-game, not the first start, you still had to clear the cache manually.
- If you run the FSDT Live Update again, you will get another updated that will clear the cache for you automatically at each restart, not requiring to do anything or use a batch file anymore so, in theory, this should fix the problem for everyone.

This does not work for me.
Even with the latest update, the folder won't be cleared. Maybe due to the fact that the couatl64_P3D.exe process isn't closing with P3D.
But even when I terminate the process manually, opening P3D won't clear that folder and GSX will stay inoperable.
Only thing that works for me right now is to a) have the Couatl process terminated (manually) and b) run the batch file to clear the folder.

I don't think you have the last update. Please try again now.
Note that, the updated file that clears the cache is the Addon Manager so, for P3D V5, it's the file named bglmanx65.dll.
You can check with absolute certainty if you have the latest version by checking the timestamp of the Digital Signature, it must be of today. If it's not, run the FSDT Live Update again, and check if you get the latest version. It might just be a matter of waiting until all Cloudflare nodes are replicated with the latest file so, not everyone will get it at exactly the same time.
