**F2F_BHO** · Dec 24 2011, 13:29

i was running Visitor for 2 days with no issue, then outta the blue yesterday it crashed and hasn't started working since, not sure what happened, but it crashes when i try to use bulldozer and view the island: here is the rpt file:::
Spoiler:

Okay Now im getting alittle upset, i don't understand why the BI Tools are so unreliable, and no one seems to be able to answer the question, the dang thing worked 2 days ago and quit in the midst of me working on an island, i have narrowed it down to buldozer, can't tell anyone why , but there are no shader errors and all the files that need to be there are there ...i did not change any settings . so what the issue here, everyone seems to look but not one person has an answer.......i have posted the rpt file if that can help

I'm affraid I get this all the time ..... I just restart the viewer.
I suspect its an issue with my BIN files that go with the exe.

Did you install a game patch recently?

Your start lines look a little complex, i can only believe its this , becuase i have never had such problems ,
even from arma1 -2-co and now TOH

i use simply

Path to realtime viewer working directive
p:\
Command line to lauch realtime viewer ( bulldozzer)
"p:\buldozer.exe" -window -buldozer -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=0

I added exthreads for very complex terrains as bulldozer couldnt cope without it seems

Hope it helps

-connect=pipe\804A6,8EDB

I don't recognise this command..... maybe you could try without it?

Code:

Path to realtime viewer working directive
p:\
Command line to lauch realtime viewer ( bulldozzer)
"p:\buldozer.exe" -window -buldozer -cpuCount=2 -cfg=bdozer.cfg -profiles=P:\ -exThreads=0

... should work fine...

"p:\buldozer.exe" -window -buldozer -cpuCount=2 -cfg=bdozer.cfg -profiles=P:\ -exThreads=0

It will work fine if you have a profile folder in P and a new bdozer.cfg too.
i often see people adding these to there startline because they have read it or BIS left it in visitor when they uploaded the tools.
people should be aware if they add these lines they do something and add complexity that should be reported when asking for help and reporting troubles.

@ Bushlurker could i see your amended Buldozer.cfg from P and Profile , i am interested to see what paramters people change here or are they simply copying there game profiles ?

Thanks guys will try this, seems i have alittle luck when i pick certain high elevations on the island then launch buldozer,, its just really weird . cause it was working fine. But i didn't update to the new 1.60 patch till last night, after the issue was already present...

You need to maky your own bdozer.cfg - yeah, though if you don't have a .profile file and you add the line -profile=P:\ (or -profile=P:\Users... which is what I use), then the first time you run Buldozer it'll create a default .profile file at that location which you can subsequently edit...

@Thromp
Check out my beginners guide which talks about those bdozer.cfg and .profile files and gives examples...
