[Resolved] Api.dll Crash

[Jonathan Fong]

Hi,

I've installed FSLSpotlights for use with Concorde X v1.3. However, when it is installed, I get an api.dll crash with these details:

Without Spotlights installed, FSX runs fine. Please reply ASAP.

Are you running any add-on DirectX enhancer, such as SweetFX or some such?

[Jonathan Fong]

Nope. I am running DX10 mode (with Steve's fixer), if that matters though.

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Can you uninstall the spotlights entirely and let me know if that stops the DLL crash?

[Jonathan Fong]

Yep. If I uninstall FSLSpotlights, FSX-SE runs perfectly fine.

EDIT: FYI, v1.0.0.15 also crashes for the same reason. Just tested it.

[Jonathan Fong]

So...any help?

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Are you running in full screen mode?

[Jonathan Fong]

Are you running in full screen mode?

Nope - windowed mode. It shouldn't matter, though - the crash is before I can even get to the Free Flight screen.

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Can you check and list here any dlls in the FSX root folder that start with "dx" ?

[Jonathan Fong]

There's one: dx10fixerlib.dll. Gathering from the name, I think it's from Steve's DX10 Fixer (which I use).

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

OK - can you right-click it and select "Properties" then the General tab, to tell me the "Created" date for this file?

[Jonathan Fong]

It was created on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 5:29:35pm.

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Can you please zip it up and send it as an attachment to support (at) flightsimlabs (dot) com?

Done.

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Can you please update Steve's DX fixer to the latest version? Seems the one you're running is about a year old now.

Wilco, will do. Will report back with results.

EDIT: Seems to work. Thanks!

[Lefteris Kalamaras]

Perfect! I'll mark this as resolved then!
