When Skunkvision is loaded, I get the following error when changing locations.

Window Title: cDatLibrary::createFile

Text: Failed loading portal file id 0x2B11FFFF


My best guess is that this is happening when it's trying to load data that I've *not* seen before. Perhaps that the AC client and the Decal libraries are in contention for a lock for the dat files?

I'm almost able to reproduce this 100% if I take the following steps:

1. Play the game normally with Skunkvision turned *on* and wait for a crash when changing areas.

2. Attempt to go back into the game with SV still turned on. Crash again.

3. Turn SV off and relogin.

4. Once the new data is loaded, I can safely log back out, turn SV back on, and log back in.

I say "almost" because it will sometimes crash on me again after suffessfully logging in after step #4. I think this may be because the data has changed again between my logins, and something else is again competing for a lock (or whatever is happening).

I have completely reformatted my PC and started from a fresh install of AC in order to test this problem. No AC Dat files were restored.



Here is the obligatory Decal export:

This is a known issue with SkunkVision 1.0.0.4 and Decal 2.9.5.0. There will be a new release of SkunkVision for the next release of Decal, and that should clear it up. Meanwhile, just leave the Water checkbox turned off when you're not actively using that feature.

The water feature is my favorite!

Thanks for the update, though. No chance of getting an early build?


p.s.
this happens on 1.0.0.5 and 1.0.0.4
