Since moving to Windows 10 I've found that every now and then when Linda crashes, it didn't happen often and it sends to just get overwhelmed sometimes, it freezes my mouse into an unrecoverable state where the pointer moves but it beeps constantly and will not click on anything. I'm running the newest version of Linda on P3d v3. It's been happening for a couple of months, like I said not all the time, but it definitely only seems to occur after a warning pop-up window advises that, not an exact quote here, lua device assigning has quit unexpectedly. Once I click okay it shuts Linda down. I can restart Linda using my keyboard and it restarts just fine but the mouse issue cannot be recovered from without a hard reboot off the pc. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Eric

 

Sorry to hear about your problem. Which version of LINDA are you using? The latest version is 2.6.7 which has better device connection and disconnection management. Problems can occur with Windows losing connectivity with HID (joystick) devices. It older versions of LINDA it would shutdown the program (rather than crash it). I don't see why LINDA shutting down causing issues with the mouse but I don't use Win 10 (only Win 7).

Thanks Scot. I'm using 2.6.7 and while win 10 is pretty good I wish I had stayed at a stable Win 7 for my gaming rig. The funny thing is everything else works when it happens. The keyboard, Saitek Panels, yoke/joysticks, etc. just the mouse dies.
