DragonSoulkin Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 So I'm at my wits end here trying to get ModelViewer working. To do all my livery editing I've been launching and re-launching DCS and viewing my work in the mission editor and I would like to be able to use the model viewer, especially in regards to getting .lua info for my liveries, but it crashes very shortly after launch. Trying to research this problem I saw a few posts regarding Saved Games/edModelViewer2/Logs/model_viewer2.log but I do not have this "edModelViewer2" folder and creating it myself has brought no results, no logs are being stored.

Flappie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Please ensure the "ModelViewer2.exe" file properties does not show unuseful things such as "Run as Administrator" or "Compatibility mode". Here's mine (pardon my French): Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 OK. Do you get any error message popup when the MV crashes? Check if you can find a folder named edModelViewer2 in here: "C:\Users\your_login\AppData\Local\Temp". Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

DragonSoulkin Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 I don't get an error or message, it just plain crashes. The only MV folder I have in the path specified is edModelViewerTrunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only MV folder I have in the path specified is edModelViewerTrunk. And there's nothing in there, I guess? I have this one too. but it's empty. I've just tried launching bin-mt/ModelViewer2.exe and it crashes on me. Is it the one you're trying? If so, what about bin/ModelViewer2.exe?

DragonSoulkin Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 I haven't tried the bin-mt MV. I did manage to get a little further this last time on using MV, managed to load an edm model but then blip, back to desktop without notice. Could ReShade have something to do with it? I tried turning off all my ReShade effects and I disabled all my mods through OvGME, did a cleanup & repair, so far not much progress but it was something.

WSXMAX Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I have the same exactly the same issue for about one year. I have 2 operating systems on my computer. So basically, I solve this problem by changing to another system. And I guess you actually have a crash dump like ModelViewer2.exe.xxxxx.dmp which saved in C:\Users\User name\AppData\Local\CrushDumps\. And I tried to analyze the file with WinDbg. But I don't know a lot about debugging. So the only thing I got is this program called a function abort() in ucrtbase.dll (I guess?) and this function seems made to crash the program itself. Anyway, I don't get it. Maybe reinstall the system is the best way to solve that. But I got a lot software on the system. It's too complicated to do this. Hope you can find a way to solve this.
