P3DV4/Connie freeze upon loading

Post by A-26Invader »

As the title states the Connie freezes upon loading in-game. First selecting a stock aircraft of course thent loading the Connie which then freezes the game about half way through loading. Admin install with P3D, Connie and A2A update. No previous versions of P3D. Where do I go guys as I am sure someone out there had this problem resolved.

Lewis I am running as admin, Installed the Connie and P3D as Admin and I start P3D in Admin everytime. The Connie cockpit loads completely and I have about 3 seconds to look around before P3D freezes and Windows shuts it down.

Recently had where my Connie would just keep reloading (did not crash but kept reloading). Finally found the L049.dll was corrupt. Replaced that only from a new download I did and it fixed the problem. Only way I suspected it was corrupt is it showed 0 bites. Now I keep a backup of the .dll just in case.

Good luck.

I have Direct X10 or 11 and it is installed. All computer drivers are up to date before installing the Connie. Seems to me that when I load the connie it freezes right about the time the flight crew is about to say something such as 'good morning' ect. Is this possibly a sound issue?

Can you run the dx9 installer and let me know its been run as if you have 11 or 12 you will still need the dx9 files installed, the dx versions do not superceed the previous ones but are essentially additions.

For the sound clue, can you let me know about your sound setup for your system.

Watching and hoping for a fix. I've had this trouble in FSX, FSX-SE and P3Dv4. If the issues are the same, I can change planes from stock loading plane to Connie before spawning but no chance at all of changing to Connie after spawning in. It loads and looks great for about the three seconds you talk about and then sim crash. It has always done this so I just have my routine to get sim going.

Sound set up is NVIDIA HD and Realtek HD audio with all drivers updated and the latest DX version (didn't know it was 12 until I checked this morning). The computer was bought new last week. I will install DX9 and try the Connie on P3DV4 once it is done.

Hello A-26Invader,
Yes, I find P3Dv4 and FSX both flaky with the Connie in this aspect. It might just be my fault sense I have custom 2D panels. I have not tried it with the stock panel.cfg so I may have to try that sometime. P3Dv4.1 is super stable however if I choose the Connie before spawning. When I was painting my Constellation a year ago and doing many plane changes I didn't have as much trouble with it as I have lately.

Cheers
Roger

Just wanted to add that I was also having this problem. I could see the Connie cockpit when I would load it but P3D 4.x would freeze and need a restart.

It’s all fixed now. I found this thread and set P3D to run as administrator. Works great again.
