I had a MSFS crash that forced a PC reboot - this was a very rare occasion for me, I think it has only happened once before.

After the restart I did a full shutdown and startup and all is fine except on trying to launch FS-ATC-Chatter (the very latest update - 1.2.1) I receive a dialog box error "Non-static method requires a target".

Apart from the chatter all seems to be working fine with my sim.
I guess a full uninstall and a reinstall of FS-ATC-Chatter is needed - but I just thought I would ask for advice first.

Can you share the log file? It ight give us a clue as to what the issue was.

This is the log - showing an unsuccessful launch - I have also emailed to the info@ address the much longer log from the day before - that details the update, normal use and then the the attempts to use after my MSFS crash to reboot.

Oh I should add - I am back up and running FS-ATC-Chatter.

I went to the Gumroad repository - downloaded the 1.2.1 Full zip file and all is fine with my new instance.

I'll pass that on to @rcarlson1971 who helped me develop the player.

@mfahey

I spoke to @rcarlson1971 about this and all we could think of is that the state.json file got corrupted somehow. When you reinstalled the player the problem got cleaned up. Let us know if it should happen again.

HI Mark - happened to me as well (due to a CTD). Confirmed that deleting the config.json and letting the be recreated on next launched fixed the issue (in case this helps anyone else).

How many times has that happened? @DylanM

Hi Mark - just once (and it wasn't caused by this addon).

Just for what's it worth (confirming for others that if you come across this error it's easy to get up and running again) today when attempting to start FS-ATC-Chatter I received a dialogue box error "Non-static method requires a target".

This followed a crash to reboot by MSFS a few minutes before (the crash was related to DX12 nothing to do with FS-ATC-Chatter).

Deleting the file "state.json" in the FS-ATC-Chatter installed folder solved the issue and the Chatter app loaded up without any further issues into its default state.
