Christopher Maddox 0 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I have a triple monitor setup. Whenever I open VATSPY for the first time it works fine, until I close it. Once I close it, I have to delete the config every time in order for it to start up again. Anyone have this issue? Is there a fix? I think it has to do with VATSPY not being on my main monitor, but on the secondary one Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 152 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I have heard similar reports, not only with VATSpy, but also with vERAM, one of my ATC clients. It would crash if the window was on a secondary monitor. For one user, the problem went away after he reinstalled Windows. (Which he was planning to do anyway.) This makes me think it's a video driver issue. There are a few things I'd like to try to see if I can pinpoint the issue. Are you on the VATSIM Discord server?

Kirk Christie 57 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Running 3 monitors, never had an issue with VAT-SPY. Usually get an error if I dont close VAT-Spy properly, but thats about it.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my own systems, so I haven't been able to find a fix.

Tom Coombs 0 Posted Tuesday at 02:33 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:33 AM I can reproduce this thing pretty much at will by opening and closing on the different screens I have (3). If I capture the config files for a repeatable working config and a repeatable failing config. Would that help? Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Carlson 152 Posted Tuesday at 02:49 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:49 AM Unfortunately not. I've tried that already with another user, and it didn't cause the crash on my system. I'm considering rewriting VAT-Spy with a different, more modern OpenGL library. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to post Share on other sites
