Blaze1969 Posted Friday at 03:45 PM Posted Friday at 03:45 PM (edited) I have had SimHaptic for awhile now and recently noticed I wasn't getting any afterburner rumble in the Viggen. I went to open the GUI to troubleshoot and it wouldn't open. I clicked the Simhaptic.exe ran as an admin and no luck, just a brief blue windows wheel and back to desktop. I uninstall and reinstalled again no luck. It just simply refuses to open. Maybe someone else has experienced and can help? I went to their site and have no faith that their AI assistant will do anything. BTW probably unrelated but I had a similar incident with Moza cockpit software not launching and the resolution was found by another user on reddit who explained what files had to be deleted in the user/appdata/local folder so perhaps SimHaptic issue is similar? *Edit- Just for clarity this isn't a connection issue to DCS, it's a failure to launch the app altogether. I can't get to the SimHaptic GUI where you can adjust settings etc at all, it simply won't launch.

Blaze1969 Posted Sunday at 05:49 PM Author Posted Sunday at 05:49 PM *SOLVED* With the help of Grok! Windows decided to override my AMD graphics drivers even though Adrenaline software said I was running latest. It was a matter of running DDU sweeping out all drivers and reinstalling a clean set of latest. My situation was complicated by a failed AMD install and Windows not wanting to allow me to boot into safemode to get it sorted I had to create a recovery disk on a USB stick and work via the command prompt to see it through. I wouldn't have been able to do this without Grok which I use a lot to examine DCS log files etc. Just thought I'd post the remedy for others if they encounter similar.
