Unfortunately nothing is getting written to my dcs.log as it pertains to Kneeboard Builder: Starting with a fresh download I double click the exe, configure the options when prompted, and then I receive a message saying that the app has to restart. Upon restart the app gets stuck at the 'Loading...' splash screen and displays this error message: --------------------------- There was an error! --------------------------- Use Ctrl + C to copy this error and e-mail it to s13solutions@gmail.com : System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path at System.IO.Directory.GetParent(String path) at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.BackupAircraftDefaultGroups(String _origPath) at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.LoadAircraftData() at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel.Initilization() at KneeboardBuilder.Viewmodels.MainViewModel..ctor() at KneeboardBuilder.Views.MainView..ctor() --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

Yup.

Just downloaded this, first time setup, and I can't seem to get it to run. I see others mentioning the same problem, however: --------------------------- There was an error! --------------------------- Use Ctrl + C to copy this error and e-mail it to s13solutions@gmail.com : System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Today I updated my Win11 install again with KB5018427, and sure enough SSA works; I'm stumped, because nothing has changed on my machine except pausing updates for a couple weeks.

FYI, SimShaker for Aviators gets broken by Windows 11 KB5018427. I was able to roll back this update and get SSA working again, but prior to that SSA would throw a forbidden access error when starting it.

EDIT: FIXED. See below for resolution, in case this post helps others. Hi, I've been using Simshaker for Aviators for well over a year without any problems. Suddenly, however, it seems to have stopped working and is throwing the error in the attached screenshot. Logs are posted below as well. How do I resolve this and get the software, and my Jetseat, working again? This issue first occured with 2.4.0, within the past week or so, and persists in 2.4.1 on my machine.

EDIT: FIXED. I'm running Windows 11, and had these updates pending. Installing them resolved my issue. Thanks, Razzle
