Title: TrackIR takes forever to load
Post by: TX-EcoDragon on February 12, 2006, 02:55:45 am
Recently, my TrackIR software started taking about five minutes to load, in the mean time my CPU is up at 100% usage, and if I am loading anything else, like IL-2, my machine hangs. Turns out my IL-2 profile is 718 kb in size, while all of the others are 2 kb. Removing my IL-2 profile solves the problem. This got me wondering what was making the IL-2 profile so big.
The content of that profile was filled with a repeating string that is missing from the others. The string repeats itrself 13,823 times!
It seems there are others experiencing this same thing with TrackIR 3 and 4. I'm guessing this is a softwre bu that will be fixed soon, in the mean time, it seems like it might be smart to back-up your profiles while they are still 2kb just in case they blow up to 718 kb!
Speaking of which, I just sent my profile to Rahman. . . please check the file size Rah.

I opened the xml file in Microsoft FrontPage and deleted all repeats of that string, and now the file is back to being two kb.

Interesting, so it was early in it's growing, but it was growing. I guess this started right before I sent this to you, pretty strange.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO
