X-Plane 12 Error - Loop Reinstall Request

[Mike_CFII_MEL 825]

Hi Everybody,

Decided to take the jump with my three computers to X-Plane 12.10 and find I'm stuck in a reinstall request due to the following error.

"Chromium Embedded Framework Error", tells me to rerun the install. Did that numerous times, now I'm dead in the water.

UPDATE: Fixed - Looks like they killed re-shade use.

Thx for the follow up Mike!

I never used re-shade enhancements with any sim, and in X-Plane 12, specially after the last few betas, I find lighting and colours so natural and actually superior to the other simulators I use, that I don't think I would adventure into that track, but you mean that using shader mods is not working in this beta ?

They pretty much killed it in 12, but people keep using it at there own risk. I think there is some command you had to do.

Hi,

Up until 12.1 I was using re-shade 4.91 with my own night lighting edits, but as of release 12.1 X-Plane won't run with re-shade. I flew a couple of runs at night and I find I don't miss re-shade at all any more. Although I still don't like L/R nigh lighting and use my own edits.

Yeah, you gotta run  --allow_reshade for it to work. However, I find it extremely unstable with ReShade these days, which is a shame, because it's far superior to stuff like ShadeX, which is terrible.

That switch doesn't work (on my three machines) anymore, XP12.1 won't load. You end up with the framework error during startup.

Ah okay, so they might have killed it for good.

There is post on other forum. Laminar are doing a scenery rebuild to fix the night lighting issue. Has something to do with using baked in textures for distant stuff . So it's happening sometime.

I installed X-Plane 12 for the first time.
I have never installed X-Plane before.

Machine: MacBookAir M1, 2020
OS: macOS Sonoma 14.4.1

When I run X-Plane after installation, the following dialog appears and I cannot use the application.

BE ADVISED

Couldn't find the required library:.
Resources/dlls/64/cef/mac/arm64/Frameworks/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/
Chromium Embedded Framework
Rerun the X-Plane installer and choose Update to fix your copy of X-Plane.

Check the directory under X-Plane 12,
Resources/dlls/64/cef/ did not exist.

This may simply be a bug in the installer.
We hope this will be fixed as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Or just another mac security issue. See lots of those.
