Target Software keeps crashing

[LeCuvier]

I had set up Target profiles (in advanced GUI mode) for several of my modules. Target (in Run mode) crashed sometimes when I launched DCS, but I could generally use it.

Now I also use the TrackIR as well; and I cannot manage to start Target Run mode, TrackIR 5 and DCS 1.5.2 without Target crashing.

If anyone uses this combination successfully I'd appreciate any guidance that helps me to make this work!

I have no problem.

 

Is this happening with any TARGET profile?

 

Did you try to run another one? If not, you should check it.

I tried it today with several profiles and it didn't crash. You see how bad it is: you cannot even rely on it's crashing. As I said I've used it earlier with mixed success and recently it crashed all the time when I started DCS (before any mission start). Today it doesn't crash at all. Today I started in this sequence:

1. TracKIR in Admin mode

2. Target, set to Run

3. DCS in Admin mode

What's your sequence?

[Swaty]

1 or 2 and then 3.

 

Also, I am working on a profile and I do a lot of ALT+TAB the game and STOP and RUN TARGET Script Editor without crashes.

Target crashing again

 

Today it's crashing again. No way to run TrackIR, Target and DCS World concurrently!

[LeCuvier]

No more "Run as administrator?"

 

I used to start DCS World with the "Run as administrator" Option. It used to be necessary, maybe a long time ago, and I never heard that it was no longer necessary.

A friend told me that he never runs as administrator and so I tried this twice.

And oh wonder, Target does not crash. Not jumping to any conclusions yet, but will continue to start DCS with a simple double-click on the desktop icon.

I recently started getting the 'TargetGUI' pop-up message when the module's progress bar is about 80% loaded (just after 'Loading Land Textures' appears)

 

Tests confirmed this issue isn't specific to a particular version of DCS or module.

 

Some posts suggest changing the keyboard to US English but this didn't work for me. I have 'Run as Administrator' set in the program 'properties' section - tried un/checking this - still no joy.

 

In the end I saved my custom profiles, uninstalled the program, unplugged the throttle and stick and installed the latest version of the program.

 

I was previously using an older version of this software (don't know whether this is relevant) but installing the latest version appears to have fixed the issue for me.

 

Just a tip... before proceeding, back-up all your custom profiles!

If it continues to be a problem, autohotkey is a great replacement.

All good so far :)
