Comments on: Please Auto-Report Your Crashes https:/2023/08/please-auto-report-your-crashes/ Developer resources for the X-Plane flight simulator Wed, 09 Aug 2023 15:56:40 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.1 By: Chris https:/2023/08/please-auto-report-your-crashes/#comment-42424 Wed, 09 Aug 2023 15:56:40 +0000 https://developer.x-plane.com/?p=40745#comment-42424 X-Plane 12 crashes regularly on my Intel MacBook Pro 16” with eGPU. The whole computer freezes and nothing helps except a forced shutdown. The log.txt does not contain anything useful as the crash is not recorded there (the logging stops some time before the crash). Also, no automatic crash report is ever generated…
The crash happens randomly, sometimes after minutes, sometimes after hours. It is thus not reproducible, but very annoying.
X-Plane 11 did not exhibit this problem. It also has to do with the eGPU as it hasn’t yet happened when I open the sim without it. No other game has this problem..

Is there any way to report this problem/help fix it? I would suspect a ”metal device loss”, whatever that means..

Start xplane with ”—open_xr” on the commandline. On my mainscreen I see what I’m supposed to see in my VR Headset when xplane is turning to VR-mode (as usual) but inside the headset itself it’s all black, no images at all.
If I switch over to SteamVR everything works fine (with much lover framerate and noticible impact on the smoothness of the sim though) but as soon as I activate OpenXR the headset stay dark.
Any thoughts on this one…

I love the progress you guys make. It looks like some bugs have priorities for fix. I remember reporting shadows bugs. Since X-Plane 11 the interior shadows disappear during sunset, and in X-Plane 12 interior shadows have low resolution even when quality slider is set to max, plus shadows get worse when zooming on aircraft during circle and chase exterior cameras, is it any near time to expect major fixes for shadows?

I believe it has something to do with the auto exposure. Also, the moon colour should be reddish when rising at sea level, then it should become yellow and finally white as it rises, and should also become smaller to the eye.
