SPad Bridge causing P3Dv3 to crash on loading

[jeff44]

Spad bridge seems to be preventing P3Dv3 from loading correctly. I keep getting an error which crashes P3D out before it reaches the scenario setup. Event viewer shows this:

Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 3.1.2.15831, time stamp: 0x5672b60a
Faulting module name: SPADBridge.dll, version: 1.0.0.16, time stamp: 0x57080eaa

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule\SPADBridge.dll

If I rename the Spadbridge.dll in the C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule folder, P3d loads fine.
Anyone else seeing this or has a solution??

Please attach the file SPADBridge.dll.log from the simmodule directory.

To ensure all prerequisites are installed correctly , open a cmd window:

Code: Select all

cd C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule
.\bridgetest "C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule\spadbridge.dll"

(Note the quotes!)
What is it's output?

If you get a runtime error or there, maybe the VC++ Redistributables are not installed.
You can get it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/downloa ... x?id=40784 ( Select language and download the X86 Package)

The SPADBridge.dll.log file has nothing in it!
Running the command line seemed to run fine. I got:

C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule>.\bridgetest "C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule\spadbridge.dll"
DLL loaded ok.
Calling DLLSTART
Calling DLLSTOP. Logfile and DgbView.Messages should be there


I ran the SPAD.neXt wizard to see if this would populate the log file - but it didn't!!! However the wizard did say that the redistributables were loaded and detected???

How do I attach files to this???

To attach hit the "Full Editor & preview" button, then you have the option to add attachments underneath the editor.

if the logfile is empty this is kinda really strange.

Can you please check that SimConnect 10.0.61259.0 is installed on your system please.
( C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft.flightsimulator.simconnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.61259.0_none_55f5ecdc14f60568 should contain a file called SimConnect.dll )

Hi Connex,
i follow my post of yesterday "https://www.fsgs.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 3163#p9906" Jeff 44 has the same issue than me. I did what you said him, and all is good.
But i have not SPADBridge.dll.log in the directory simmodule
I attach my dxdiag config

I'll provide a debug version of the bridge asap to hunt this error down. Right now I have no real clue what the problem might be.

[c0nnex]

Please check that the permissions are ok.

In Windows explorer

• navigate to C:\Program Files
• Select Folder "SPAD.neXt" ,
• right click ->
• Properties ->
• Security ->
• Edit ->
• Add ->
• Enter "Users" in the text field , Click OK
• Check the checkbox next to "Full Access" in the lower half.
• Click OK

[c0nnex]

Find enclosed a debug version of the bridge.

First check the permissions (previous post).
Then replace the SPADBridge.dll by the attached version.

Proceed as follows:
First Test:
- Enable SPADBridge.dll in dll.xml , check if P3D still crashes.
- IF P3d still crashes, please check the Application Eventlog- ( Control Panel -> Administration -> Event Viewer ). There should be a Application-Crash entry. Copy it and post here. Also attach the SPADBridge.dll.log

Second test:
- Shut down SPAD.neXt and P3D
- open CMD and run

Code: Select all

cd C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule
.\bridgetest "C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule\spadbridge.dll"

- Now the SPADBridge.dll should NOT be Empty! Attach it please!

[jeff44]

Thanks, just going through the tests
Jeff

OK, I have copied the SpadBridge.dll into C:\Program Files\SPAD.neXt\simmodule folder and started P3D v3.
P3D crashed - I have included screen shot of this as .jpg.
