Map Enhancement starts fine and works for a bit then loses contact with servers as license disappears in the mod about msfs2020-map-enhancement HOT 49 CLOSED

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Maybe please look at if the core.exe crashed? If yes, is your system overclocked?

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

I have the same exact issue and my system isn't overclocked. I searched for core.exe in task manager and it wasn't there. How do I search for it? Data keeps getting turned off and stays off since that most recent beta 7.4.1

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Same issue here. Shut down SIM and Map Enhancement - restart everything... Licence comes back.... then soon dissapears again and maps stop loading.

Would this happen if my SIM loses connection with the internet momentarily??
I got a disconnection message and then "reconnection".
Not sure of that caused the MAP Enhancement to lose connection also.
If so, the SIM automatically reconnect but the MAP Ehancement didn't.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

I think it is because core.exe caused for some reason.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Hi, would you please try the method here to open the core.exe in a console. When it crashes, you should get some error in the console and give me the screenshots.

I'm trying this now. Will give a screenshot if it disconnects my license

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Here's what mine said with 7.4.1 beta

Actually...just saw that the host file was not clear on that run...trying 7.4.4 right now (that's why it said 0.0.0.0 was already taken?)

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Going to try 7.4.4 now

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

For me, 7.4.4 has the same issue. MSFS did something that screwed this up.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

7.4.4 keeps kicking my license on and off until it doesn't work

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Getting this as well with 7.4.4.

License was fine and in the program when I first started and made sure no entries in the host file before I started it

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

here's the screenshots of core.exe

This was monitoring while I was trying to load in KATL (some place I had not cached before with Google Map Server 2)

Can't use the Map Enhancement until this is fixed...wondering if I get more time on my license as I've had problems like these since July 2023

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Is there an update re solving this issue?

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Hi guys, thanks for reporting this issue. I finally find out the possible issue in cache module cause the backend service crash. Please try https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/releases/tag/v7.4.5-beta

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Working as of now with 7.4.5 beta and cache on but needs more testing as it did this before....will let it run a lot and we'll see what happens

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Been putting 7.4.5 beta through its paces. Two hours into a flight, the Microsoft server connection disconnected then reconnected a short time later. Photgrammetry data never stopped but under Network in the Error column it started getting errors and continues to do so. I am flying over water right now but I'll see if it means anything when I hit land for loading textures. It seems to load some but the error number keeps going up.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Just severed the Microsoft server connection again about 4 hours into the flight but recovered. My license blipped off quickly and then right back on. It keeps working.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

This is what it did for a 3rd time:

then it does this

The Map Enhancement keeps working but wanted to report that this is happening intermittently

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Thanks Derek. All good. Updated to 7.4.5 and flew for about 3 hours. No drop outs. Seems to be working perfectly now. Recommend this version be not changed (unless MSFS causes a bug). No need for any more fancy enhancements. Just keep map quality as high as possible at no extra cost.

EricFlight..... I saw that "connection" problem last week. That is an internet or MSFS connection issue isn't it? Last week was the first time I have ever seen that. It did not happen today with me.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Thanks for all your feedback and sorry for the trouble I made. This time I don't have too much time to fix the MSFS's connection issue, so the version is not quite stable. Please keep monitoring and I'm also improving the tests and quality.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

It has been working but once in a while the Microsoft server connects and disconnects. So hence...still very buggy but mostly works

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Just downloaded SU14 and tried using mod...kicked me off photogrammetry again
still have license active

Just did it again (2x same session)

Just did it again (3x same session)

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Going to have to look into what you did before to get it working I think

SU14 problem

at least the CTDs are not happening again (nothing to do with the map mod on those with earlier versions)

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Derekhe. I have uploaded to my Goggle drive a video of a recent flight around my home airport.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oho24XJ8yUdL_YnJQXxkKUBKDzNtDgQW/view?usp=sharing
You can see tiles appearing and disappearing. I notice darker tiles in areas that have previously been the lighter Bing Maps color. I am wondering if this is happening because Google maps has new images of this area... but older tiles are being loaded from the cache at the same time.
Is it possible that the older BING tiles have not been replaced in the CACHE so that the old tiles and new tiles keep conflicting?

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

This is taking too long to fix and we paid money for a license. I think you should dedicate time to fix it or start issuing refunds if you can't.

What's your problem? I think it is fixed in latest version. MS server also has some issue sometimes and it is not this mod's fault.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

What do you mean what's my problem? I want the product to work right or give me my money back. What's your problem? What a ghetto answer.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Next step will be reporting this as fraud on flightsim.to and the credit card company and on every forum if that's the attitude I'm getting here. What do you mean what's my problem?

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

What do you mean what's my problem? I want the product to work right or give me my money back. What's your problem? What a ghetto answer.

You can ask me the refund no problem if you don't like it. Please write an email to hesicong at gmail.com.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Thanks! I will today.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Thanks! I will today.

You can see it is mentioned here: https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/wiki/License#ask-for-refund
Some people who had problem using this mod or don't like the maps asked for refund easily.

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

I want to be very clear. Now without the mod I never lose connection to the server. With the mod I keep losing connection intermittently. So if you don't constitute this a problem then I don't know what is. Let's end this here and I'll request the refund today.

Lets settle down here folks. The goal is for a good outcome - not to get angry.
Now Derekhe. Unfortunately there are some problems not fixed.
The issue I am seeing is not the one you mention about the "color is inconsistent in various places"
https://github.com/derekhe/msfs2020-map-enhancement/wiki/Manual-EN#69-the-map-color-is-inconsistent-in-various-places
I know what that is and I checked all those things about a year ago.

I am flying in the area that I fly all the time and what I am seeing now is something entirely new.....
Please watch my video carefully. to the end.
You will see what I mean. There is something weird going on with the normal tile loading.

The area around my city where it has never had the Google Map tiles is displaying random tiles that look like the Google tile area.... but they are also disappearing and loading randomly.
Is almost seems like the tiles loading from the cache are being replaced by tiles ON-LINE, but then the CACHE tiles will overwrite them.
I am tempted to just delete my entire ENHANCEMENT CACHE..... which is about 35GB

Cheers

I will do. Before you clear your cache, you can turn off the cache see if the problem goes.

I don't know if it's a language issue or what but we usually say: "what's the problem?" and not "what's your problem?" My issue here is that I've waited for a while for a solution and tried everything posted here and the betas and I keep getting disconnected. Without the mod I have zero disconnections. This is a big problem when I'm making videos for my YouTube channel. How much longer do I have to wait until I get zero disconnections like we used to? At least admit that MSFS is doing something to your product on purpose and you're trying to fix it but don't try to make me think that it's all ok and good now.

Sorry I think it is a language issue. I'm not a native speaker. I should say "What's the problem". The disconnect problem happens for some people and I am investigating but don't know where the problem is. Some people set the network setting to default "Advanced" may have problem, but most not. So please try the "Normal" settings, adjust this can fix most of the problem.

Hi, I watched the video to the end, and I think there are possible fix:

• Make sure you start the mod BEFORE the msfs (This is very important otherwise default bing data will be also loaded)
• Make sure the in game rolling cache is DISABLED. Because the rolling cache doesn't know where the image is loaded from (Bing or google or something else), it will store whatever it loads. The mod's cache doesn't have this issue because it separates the servers.
• I also see in some area google maps have different layer images which may cause this issue. (You may navigate google maps you will notice if you zoom in a lot it changes to other tiles). If this is the issue, I can't fix it now and you can try different server.

You can also try Mapbox or apple map or bing latest, they also provide very good results.

OK Derekhe, I have done my testing. It was a completely different issue to the one originally raised in this thread.
My map Enhancement MOD is back to normal again.

It may surprise you, but the problem was as I suspected. Google has updated the map images around my area. For some reason, new tiles were being loaded into the game from the server but the old tiles saved in the CACHE were not being overwritten by the updated tiles. So there was a fight going on between the new server images and the CACHE images. That is why we were seeing tiles appearing and disappearing. (it was way more than just the "brighter and bluer" sections in some areas - the video showed clearly that tiles were swapping randomly)

ANYWAY............
As soon as I deactivated the CACHE the problem stopped IMMEDIATELY. (The only tiles being loaded were from the server).
I shut down MSFS and the Map Enhancement MOD and started everything again with the CACHE enabled.
The problem happened again IMMEDIATELY.
So I deleted the 35GB Cache.
I restarted with CACHE enabled..... NO PROBLEM.

Therefore I believe I have proved that there was a conflict between NEW Google Map tiles and the CACHE tiles.
If this is something that is not fixable, it just means that we have to clear (or delete) the CACHE occasionally.

Just as a comment for others who may read this in the future.

• I ran MSFS without the Map Enhancement and the scenery was CRAP in comparison.
• Map Enhancement with "Bing Maps (latest)" server was better, bit still DULL
• Map Box was not bad, but nothing exciting
• Goggle Maps Server 1 (Pro) - AMAZING...... So much better.

Definitely worth having.
(Would be prefect if it could be stopped and restarted without needing to restart MSFS - Just in the off chance of an occasional crash that might happen to anyone).

Cheers

Just FYI (seeing that my other post was closed) The cache does not work right with the latest version. I know you're looking into it

from msfs2020-map-enhancement.

Core.exe seems to have a memory leak. I monitored it while flying, and the memory usage keeps going higher and higher, until the msfs program crashes. If I don't start the Map Enhancement, it doesn't happen. I am currently using 7.4.5 Beta (Pro). Hope this helps!
