exe.xml and dll.xml in different folders in P3Dv3.3.5?

[Jim Young 2,356]

 

 

Any guidelines, please, for the entries order, in case I'd like to merge files and leave single dll.xml and exe.xml under ProgramData?

 

You might have seen my post about the two locations of the two dll.xml's and exe.xml's a few days ago in the CTD Forum. I know many other websites picked up on it too.  Although I recommended they be merged, that is not necessarily the best idea as many third party developers are still using the old location and the possibility of having duplicate entries would be increased.  It does not hurt to have them in both folders as long as the entries in the AppData folder do not replicate any of the entries in the new location.  If you get a CTD or a freeze, this is something you should look at.  I do know removal of duplicate entries have stopped the ntdll.dll and StackHash errors for many when using FSX.

 

I merged mine and so far no problems.

 

I do not believe there are any requirements for the order of loading modules into P3D but heard somewhere that the ASN entries should be loaded last.  I personally have ASN loading last.  All modules will be loaded no matter what order they are in and that's the important thing.  If there was an order, I believe the P3D SDK would show this requirement so the sim doesn't crash.

 

Best regards,
