4.5 hot fix is out

[argosafe 14]

For the first time ever, I'm sticking to an earlier version of software. Let's hope it changes in V5.

Guys, is it necessary to delete the P3D.cfg ? I've used the same one since 4.3. & haven't had issues.

 

Thanks,

I found the problem of P3D not starting after the hotfix. The WX Advantage Radar is the reason. Removed the MV_WXM.dll from the Modules folder and problem solved. I guess it needs to be updated.

Thanks for this: I had the exact same 'no-start' crash after installing the new client, removing that .dll file solved it. 

After that and a few 100nm flights, things are looking very nice. 

 

Thanks,

Please ignore any so called performance loses this update fixes major issuses particularly around orbx true earth and regions . There you will see a difference.

Are you using the beta version that was posted yesterday, not just the "stable" release?

[Eclex 102]

Not yesterday's.  I'll go get it now. Thanks

 

I just loaded beta ver 7070 Active Sky and it now works !

Thanks.

On my system the initial P3Dv4.5 did work more or less similar to v4.4.

Now that I installed the hotfix P3Dv4.5 crashes during start up and closes down.

Whatever I tried P3Dv4.5 keeps shutting down during initial start up.

Unforunately I deleted the initial v4.5 client, so cannot go back to the v4.5 that did work for me..

Must be an add-on that needs to be updated, it can be FSLabs.. can you post the list of add-on's you have?

Anyone have EZCA working?

I only updated the client and so far I have very good performance with no problems.

EZDOK needs an update as the zoom is locked and messed up.

 

An update is needed to "unlock " it 🙂

 

Normally within about a day or too . They always have an update ready very soon after a new P3d version.

My experience with 4.5 has been nothing but positive. Had no issues at all after client, content and scenery update using a barge load of addons. Butter smooth sim with high settings...

 My question: do I even need this hot fix or should I leave well enough alone? The old if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Same here regarding v4.5, so I was nervous about applying this hotfix, but all went well, no issues that i've noted thus far, and I believe i'm seeing a slight, but nevertheless apparent increase in frame rates overall.

FWIW, I did the client only update, the content and scenery were left as they were after the original v4.5 installation.

Thank Simbol...  Yeah, it's gone from my add-ons menu, just posted in their forums
