Btw you can put the text from the file into a spoiler tag like i just did, thats makes it a lot easier to read the thread.

I think that the issue Ive reported, and its already a known problem.

I believe that's a depreciated function,
The move to the new UI does not allow application to restart as it did before, I just forgot to remove it.
Could also been broken with the addition of Multi-threading and multi-forms.

But I will check with MSKB and see if the command has changed for the new code base.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

If Saved Games Folder does not exist it will try to generate the file in a blank folder which causes the exception, it's been fixed internally to not crash but report file error.

I relocated all personal folders to a different drive but it keeps generating log to a non-existing path(C:).

Should we use SHGetKnownFolderPath to get the "saved game"(4C5C32FF-BB9D-43B0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4) folder( return correct path ) instead of Environment.SpecialFolder.Userprofile + "\\Saved game\\DCS Updater Utility\\" which always point to C drive ?

There's an Option to Change the App's Saved Games Path in App options (use Custom Saved Games Folder).

I dont know how this would behave for the sim scan function though, you would also have to do manual path setting for those as well.

Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile is supposed to return the windows setting being used.

Ah i found it. thx..

In most programs, shell32 API SHGetKnownFolderPath is the suggested and safer method get any knownfolder. User should not expect and use "%USERPROFILE%/stuff" method to access user's libraries within their programs.

In shell environment, once it is relocated, Explorer Shell checks if it should redirect "%USERPROFILE%/stuff" to the knowfolder:{guid} with a simple trick: detecting if "C:/user/stuff/" no longer exists. It only works within the Explorer shell, and the Windows file dialog API to be specific. I did not see anywhere else in Windows work in such way. it would only affect programs that use the file dialog interface at most. Programs should not use "%USERPROFILE%/stuff" method.

In C# runtime, “Environment.SpecialFolder” enum has left out many libraries, like "downloads", "saved games" etc.. and the enum is static, not expandable. At the end, getfolderpath is just a string operation, so it will always return C:\user + \\stuff, C# did not use explorer shell to resolve this incorrect way of accessing knownfolders.

In DCS edcore.dll, it uses "SHGetKnownFolderPath" (and it should) as primary attempt to retrieve the "saved games" path. if it fails, like running on windowsXP or user deliberately removes "saved game" from the registry. It will fall back to "MyDocuments\My Games" path. This is How ED choose which folder to store save files.

My saved game was relocated but C:/user/saves games folder still exists , it was created by software in our case. As result "The Explorer shell" won't redirect %USERPROFILE%/saves games to knowfolder{guid}, and the user's main library folder will display two folders with the same "saves games" name , each linking to a different path. It only affects Windows File Explorer and File dialog API tho. So it's just minor inconvenience. I just have to delete "C:\user\saves games\" folder every once in a while.

By importing shell32 function, should allow us access to the correct path in C#

private static readonly Guid SavedGameCLSID = new Guid("4C5C32FF-BB9D-43B0-B5B4-2D72E54EAAA4");

public static string GetKnownFolderPath(Guid folderGuid)
{
return SHGetKnownFolderPath(folderGuid, 0);
}
[DllImport("shell32", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, PreserveSig = false)]
private static extern string SHGetKnownFolderPath([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)] Guid rfid, uint dwFlags, IntPtr hToken = default);

then use GetKnownFolderPath(SavedGameCLSID);

I'll look into it after the parser and GUI update,

Right now work is paused as the main Rig suffered a Cooling solution failure, and I'm waiting for warranty department to ship replacement parts.

First of all, I want to thank SkateZilla for this outstanding tool. I have been using it now for years and I recently started to use the new version with the integrated config editor.

Unfortunately, this feature isn't working for me because the config file that is written out by the tool is corrupt.

For example, the following lines are changed by the tool without me making any changes in the UI other than loading a config and saving it again:

["custom_IPD"] = 63.5, is changed to ["custom_IPD"] = 635

["aspect"] = 1.3333333333333, is changed to ["aspect"] = 1,3333333333333,

["msaaMaskSize"] = 0.42, is changed to ["msaaMaskSize"] = 42,

Some values will be replaced by an empty line:

       ["autoTrimmer"] = false,
       ["avionicsLanguage"] = "native",
       ["birds"] = 0,

to

["autoTrimmer"] = false,

["birds"] = 0,

Starting DCS with this config file will result in the values getting reverted to default.

While I am not sure that the removed lines are actually caused by a bug rather than being a default value that will not be written out explicitly, for the first described problem I bet it has something to do with the default system locale the application is using which in my case is German. I assume SkateZillas default local is US. In these two locales, US and DE the usage of '.' and ',' in numbers is the exact opposite, and in parsing numbers from strings in the wrong locale, a decimal separator will be ignored by the parser because it is misinterpreted as a thousands separator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

For the aspect-value it seems that the value is simply written out as a string with no parsing at all after it is generated with a comma as a decimal separator because of the german locale.

I tried to overwrite the system locale in the user.config file with no success. I hope my description is of some use to solve the problem.

thanks again for this great tool...

The Avionics Empty Line save is known (and once the new parser is fully integrated it will be fixed).

I was still trying to pin point why the sliders are reporting incorrectly (removing decimals etc).

I was looking at locale originally, I will look into it a little deeper now.

of course parts have shipped for my rig, but it will take time for them to get here from AMD's warranty department, and I still have to re-build the rig and get everything updated.

Is there a possibility to update the updater and keep all my settings ?

With all, I mean my dcs presets and the special settings in the updater app settings for external applications.

I tried to update from 2.0.0.35 to 2.0.0.36 with no joy. Also there 4 different settings folder in the AppData

The only time it would require a reset is if you change the path or I tell it to reset at start,
It's supposed to update with every version.

Vector1 · August 27, 2023

yer well it doesn't, asked this question at least 2 weeks ago. I think I was fobbed off with lame answer!

Vector1 · August 27, 2023

Hi again I wouldn't know how to tell it to reset at start, all paths are the same as all versions?

Gasgett · August 27, 2023

The app worked great for a day or two, but now when I try and launch DCS from the UI (in whichever profile etc.) I get his error:

Pressing continue doesn't do anything.

for me it doesn't run, as if I would install the updater the first time.

Never had a crash until now. This only have when I want to launch into VR. Launching with VR off works just fine. The app will crash when I want to get into VR with the error message below.

Any help would be great.

It saves the changes when you close manually it after a change. Try that.

I finally cracked the nut....

Been trying for a loooooooong time to get the launcher to launch Windows Mixed Reality as an application...

and i finally cracked the nut...

Make a .bat file containing the line

start ms-holographicfirstrun:

and then link to the batfile from DCS launcher

RunWindowsMixedReality.bat

Vector1 · August 30, 2023

Hi MAXsenna, have no problem with it saving settings, my problem is when I install new one it doesn't carry over settings from previous version, I have to set it all up again! , have heard nothing from Skatezilla on this problem yet
