Strange Couatl Error in P3D v2.5 **SOLVED**
« on: April 02, 2015, 05:11:19 am »
I apologize if this is redundant. I am 99% sure UT2 is the culprit. I attempted to install UT2 via the EMT and then encountered this:

http://gyazo.com/b8feda86f326e6e7040337b4a7342ce0

I uninstalled all of the UT2 items, and reinstalled the addon manager as directed... Yet I continue to get this even after rebooting, and double checking that all UT2 items had been removed.

When I check the Couatl.err file it reads this:

couatl v2.0 (build 2378)
panic log started on Wed Apr 01 23:22:41 2015

problem raised by engine or unspecified addonExecutable integrity compromised

Also, this is from the CouatlAddons if you need it:

[liveupdate]
major_version_installed = "8401cb-4-50ecdb8bc8380"
live_version_ignore = "8438e8-9ca08-50ef5d18cdf40"
live_version_installed = "8438e8-9ca08-50ef5d18cdf40"
last_check = 1427948439.15
major_version_ignore = "8401cb-4-50ecdb8bc8380"

Any advice?

Scott

This message has been discussed many times on the forum, and it's caused by ANOTHER executable that is trying to attach to every running executable in your system. These are the known causes of that error message:

- If you have the ATI Tray Tools utility installed, you must disable the "Automatic Overclock" feature.

- If you have the Radeon Pro utility installed, you must disable "API monitoring" or use the setting "disable API monitoring for programs not listed in my profiles list"

- The Lenovo One Key Theater and Power management software

- The Trillian instant messenger.

- The Mumble VOIP program.

- The krakensysaudiolauncher.exe from the Razer Kraken headset drivers.

- The ASUS Game First III Application

If you are sure you are not running any of the above programs, then you might simply using another software that is behaving in a similar (invasive) way as those listed above, that we never heard before. Try to close all your running processes, until you find the offending one.

None of those apply.  It was working fine yesterday all before I tried to install Ultimate Traffic 2.  That is when this started.  I'd be more than happy to let you take a look at my computer.

16GB Vengeance
i5 4690k
250 SSD
1TB HDD
Nvidia Geforce 970

Then you fall into this case:

Never heard of any issues with UT2 before, does the problem still happens if you disable the UT2Services.exe from the FSX EXE.XML file ?

The ONLY thing that changed, was yesterday.... Ultimate Traffic 2.  Everything had been working fine up until this point.  Here is what is running in my background when I open P3D.

Have you tried closing some of these processes, as I suggested in my two previous messages ? Note that, your list is not complete, because it shows only processes with user-level priviledges. To see the complete list, you must click the "Show processes from all users" button.

That is what is running. 

By the way, I get the Couatl scripting error but P3D still loads and GSX, etc still work and are present.   However, the scripting error message continuously pops up.

Again, have you tried closing some of these processes (before starting FSX), until you'll eventually find the one causing it, as I suggested in all my previous messages ?

This user here found the problem was caused by the nVidia Shadowplay feature:

Umberto,  yep, Nvidia Shadowplay.  I couldn't get them to End process so I had to delete the actual .exe files.  No more coautl error codes.

Thanks for your prompt help on this and sorry for any redundancy in posts.  Thank you again!
