XPX 10.03 Beta 10 Web Demo Fails To Load

[TedG]

As much as I hate to cross-post from elsewhere I wanted to get some additional eyes on an issue I have been having with regard to XPX. I originally sent a mail to LR regarding this problem back in early December; however, I am sure they have been quite busy with other stuff to deal with this oddball problem. I have worked through some troubleshooting with Goran and tried a couple of things mentioned by Brett/Andy at the .org but am not really getting anywhere.

Perhaps one of you folks might have some insight or suggestions?

Everything else on my system works absolutely fine including XP9.7, FSX, and the few other games/sims I have loaded. This system is pretty much dedicated for simulation/games with no extra junk that I am aware of. Antivirus software is Kaspersky's basic KAV and thats fairly unobtrusive although I do shut it off for FSX.

System:

Intel Core2 Quad Q8300@2.5GHz

ASUS GTX550 1Gb Ti Direct Cu with driver set 285.58 (this is a new card...previous was 430GT and displayed the same symptoms)

ASUS P5P41TD board

4Gb RAM (3.5 enabled via USERVA switch option on boot...this has been modified to a simple 3Gb switch in boot.ini)

WIN XP 32b SP3

**Note**I do have the XP9 USB dongle inserted. I have tried removing this in case of conflict with no change.

The issue:

XPX hangs on launch as shown in the attached images. It has hung like this on every attempt to load the demo at the same spot with the exact same stopping point in the log file. Goran had me delete the 747 and reload via the updater with no change. There is nothing to delete within the Prefs folder as XPX never actually got past the point illustrated below. The only way to kill the application is via task manager.

So there you have it. I am aware of several other folks experiencing the same issue and would really appreciate any help you folks might be able to provide. It is totally holding me back from ordering XPX at the moment and aside from my personal enjoyment it is eventually going to interfere with my review stuff as well.

I am happy to provide any further details you might require.

Thanks for looking,

Ted

Hmmmm...disregard. I seem to have found the chokepoint and the demo loads. It seems my system does not like #objects/#roads turned up past default and takes like 22 minutes to load!

Which is fair enough given the rest looks fine.

[karingka]

Good thing you found a solution... I had no idea what was going on!
