July 2, 20187 yr Hello everyone. Yesterday when I opened the P3D v4 I got an error that says: Another SODE process is still running in the background. Please kill this process in the task manager and restart the sim! After this, the simulator does not open. I have tried to eliminate the process in the task manager but that error continues when I open the simulator. What I can do? Regards, Jorge. PD: Sorry for my english, I am from Spain
July 2, 20187 yr Sounds like P3D is trying to load two instances of SODE in the same session...you're going to want to check both of the dll.xml and exe.xml files (there are two each of these files, four files total) and make sure there are no SODE references (from much older versions) there, and then open add-ons.cfg file located in: C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\ and make sure there is one and only one Package.x entry for SODE. This can happen if you (or a scenery installer) install a new version without removing a much older version first, or if something installs a second entry into add-ons.cfg Regards Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
July 2, 20187 yr Commercial Member Usually a reboot or closing P3D and waiting 2 minutes to restart it will resolve this. When I've seen this happen it's been because I didn't give SODE enough time to close before restarting P3D - and this happens with ChasePlane and other addons that are tied into P3D as well.

July 2, 20187 yr I've seen the same thing you need to allow more time. Sometimes, if the P3D crashes, then SODE will not get shut down. Bill Clark Windows 10 Pro, Ver 21H2 CPU I5-8600K 5.0GHz, GPU Nvidia RTX 3090 VRAM 24GB Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 7, 2TB M2.NVMe, RAM 32GB
