[RESOLVED] Attract mode Crash in 18.15 & 18.17

[Phantom]

Hi Guys,

I updated to 18.15 and my attract mode would start and soon after GameEx would crash back to the desktop. I updated to 18.17 (18.16 was a separate issue) and its still doing it.

I've attached a few log files to see if there is something in common (I can decipher some stuff in the log but a lot is over my head)

Hope it helps. 

 

Thanks in advance

 

log - Copy - Copy.txt log - Copy (2).txt log - Copy.txt log.txt

Hey, just letting you know, ive seen this and will have a look shortly. Your saying prior 18.15 works? Have you tried (Note old downloads should be available now).

I had a quick look. The "device change" in the log is weird. That would indicate a gamepad being plugged in or unplugged

Oh really? Ok then that may be one of my scripts that I use to swap controllers doing it. But Its worked before (not sure at what version I'll have to try older ones this weekend) But any idea why GameEx crashes completely when it happens? And do you see if its always happening at a specific Emulator?

 

Thanks for you time Tom

It appears to be an issue when it tries to run a non MAME game from what I can see. Is there anything in the event viewer?

The .net 4 version (xp/32 bit) likely won't hard crash like that. You can try it until I figure this out.

Think I got it figured out. Sorry about that. Uploading new version now.

Seems to be working now. Thanks Tom! As usual you provide the best service out there.
