KMEM still crashing
« on: December 27, 2016, 10:42:14 pm »
Well I decided to give KMEM another try after giving up on it. Still getting the crash. Was there ever a resolution to this issue. I tested it with a VAS monitor to see if that was the problem. With the PMDG 777, VAS was around 2.9 so well below the threshold. Any help would be much appreciated as this airport is completely unusable at this point.

Here are the two error messages I get.

Faulting application name: couatl.exe, version: 3.1.0.3577, time stamp: 0x584ec3d4

The GD2.DLL crash has been discussed so many times in the KMEM thread about it, and it was proven that it was always caused by problems with video setting and tweaks that shouldn't be applied, like the Poolsize = 0, etc.

In other test (on user's systems), it was found that Ezdok caused the crash.

We were never able to replicate this crash in any kind of test, using a default FSX.CFG file with not tweaks, except the mandatory HIGHMEMFIX = 1

So, try to remove all your tweaks, for start.

Also, try to temporarily disable all your 3rd party addon modules, except the FSDT ones, then re-enable them, one by one, until you find the offending one. This how we found a cause for the G2D.DLL crash, on an user system, where he was absolutely convinced it was a KMEM problem, only to realize it went away by disabling Ezdok camera.

Solution: Switch to P3D

FSDT should really make KMEM incompatible with FSX

I don't have any crashes in FSX. However, it's true that P3D is so much better, and KMEM has many features that are P3D-only, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work in FSX.

Thanks Umberto, I will give that a shot. FYI, I don't use ezdok. I remembered this came up in discussion when KMEM first came out.
