Dylan Loller Posted December 19, 2022 at 08:11 PM Posted December 19, 2022 at 08:11 PM (edited) Within the last week Vatspy has stopped opening altogether for me. Any time I try and open the app, the loading screen gets to 'Tessellating Polygons' and then quits. If I re-install the app it works once and then will not work again. Deleting the config file works but I then I have to do this before I launch every time. This also moves my app location on screen and changes any previous settings I had back to default. Is there any permanent fix for this issue? I've never had it happen before and I enjoy using the app. I saw a previous post from 2009 on the same issue so I'm hoping there is some kind of fix. Thanks! Edited December 19, 2022 at 08:13 PM by Dylan Loller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted December 19, 2022 at 10:28 PM Posted December 19, 2022 at 10:28 PM Usually this is caused by a background service called "Nahimic Services". Check Task Manager to see if that's running. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Loos Posted December 29, 2022 at 10:53 AM Posted December 29, 2022 at 10:53 AM It happens for me If I close vatspy after I resized it to bigger width (actually it will not restart if last width in config exceeds 1157 pixel). Try to resize it to smaller size before closing it and look if it restarts. Or delete the config out of %appdata%/vat-spy. If you start the default size is small enough to show up. Also restarts should work with this size, so you know how small it should be approx before closing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Loller Posted December 30, 2022 at 11:53 AM Author Posted December 30, 2022 at 11:53 AM That did the trick. I shrunk the window down to its smallest size before closing and now it launches just fine. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to edit the config file and adjust LastWindowSize or Last WindowLocation - can't remember which one. Now working!

Thanks man, been struggling with that for a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
