P3D won't start after uninstall Active Sky 2016

[737NGfun 0]

Hi everyone
I have a problem with my P3D which generates an error.

The P3D version is 4.3.29.25520.
I have many ORBX sceneries and PMDG 737 NGX installed, however, the problem most likely appeared after uninstalling Active Sky 2016. I remember that the uninstaller asked me whether to delete also user data, xgauges, etc., I clicked YES and then did not run the simulator and did not check if it works properly.
Yesterday I ran sim and it does not work. I tried to install Active Sky again but it did not help. I also reinstalled the .NET Framework 4.6.2 many times and it did not help. I'm broken. Many months of my work on the P3D configuration went to waste.
What else can I do to avoid reinstalling everything?
Thanks

Have you tried deleting your prepar3d.cfg file and let it generate a new one?  Also have you checked the HiFi Sim Tech forums to see if this issue has been posted before?

This should be ASP4 for the Prepar3d version you are running, is this just a typing error.

Yes, I tried deleting (renaming) prepar3d.cfg, scenery.cfg, terrain.cfg, dll.xml etc., also shaders folder, RAASPRO folder, PMDG folder, ORBX folder... No change.

I even renamed all Prepar3D v4 folder (in AppData Local, Roaming, ProgramData, Documens) and no change 😞

 

Onebob, when Active Sky 2016 and then ASP4 was installed, Prepar3D worked perfectly. I mean, Active Sky 2016 not worked in the simulator, but simulator worked normally. Then I installed ASP4 patch for AS2016 and all worked fine. The problem appeared during the last week and of what I remember the only thing that I changed in simulator during this week, was to uninstalling Active Sky and then AS Connect from the control panel. I remember that the uninstaller asked me to delete also user data, weather data, xgauges, etc., and I think something has been removed that should not be removed.

Other options:
Double click on Delete Generated Files found in your root P3D folder.
Or run the P3D installer again and select repair.

ASP4 and AS2016 are different programs, ASP4 is for the 64bit version of Prepar3D 4.3 and AS2016 is for the 32bit version of Prepar3d version 3, you can't apply updates for ASP4 to AS2016.

Looks like the problem caused by ReShade. I renamed dxgi.dll (it's ReShade library) and P3D works like a charm. I don't know why, because ReShade has been working properly for several weeks. Reinstalling ReShade didn't help but the most important that P3D works 🙂
