apps no longer working

[Sylvain Mainville]

For almost 2 months now Sidekick and Crewchief were working perfectly, now they are not! They are enabled in the general settings but they are not visible in the app bar on the right side of the screen. I'm at a lost as to why they just stopped working.

I guess you are using CustomShadersPatch and ContentManager? Then try to disable this:

 

[Sylvain Mainville]

Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly. I do not have that screen in my CM, it's the free version. Can I look up that setting elsewhere?

 

[Please Stop This]

It should be in the free version of CM too. You also use CustomShadersPatch or not?
Edit: if not, then its something else, as this option is only with CustomShadersPatch.

 

[Sylvain Mainville]

No I do not use CustomShadersPatch

 

[Please Stop This]

then its something else, as this option is only available with CustomShadersPatch. Can you post your
"...\Documents\Assetto Corsa\logs\py_log.txt"
?

let me find that

 

[Sylvain Mainville]

that file is empty, no info

thats unfortunate, try to delete the settings file for those apps or reinstall them, sometimes a PC reboot does wonders too
sidekick settings: "...steamapps\common\assettocorsa\apps\python\Sidekick\config.ini"

another worth a try:

Crew Chief has stopped working

Hi, I installed crew chief to use with tracing about three weeks ago. I set it up and it worked really well then about 10 days ago it wouldn't launch anymore. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it countless times, but once it has installed and I get to the screen with the tick box...

did all that and no go

Sorry, now i am out of ideas.
(other than steam verify)
Other apps are working? Only these two dont work?

 

[Sylvain Mainville]

I did a steam verify and all is good, those are the only 2 apps I used. Thanks, I'll keep looking and will come back if I can solve it.

from Peter Boese in the Sol-Thread:

Misc - Sol

Try simply dragging the zip file into CM and install it there, afterward reinstall the latest CSP in CM's setting menu. I was having a similar issue when I installed Sol manually. It kept stating version 1.2.4 instead of 1.3.1 in the Sol Config app. Installing through CM fix it for me.

Search for the apps in log.txt, try start AC from steam (std interface) and make sure apps visible and enabled in options

If you have mentioned setting, it's here:
[APPS]
CUSTOM_ERRORS_HANDLING=0 ; Custom errors handling for Python apps; 1 or 0
(in ..\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\extension\config)

Here is what I was able to gather regarding python in the log file

can you disable all apps other than Sidekick and Crewchief ?
mostly OV1Info
also did you update gmeter lately? maybe use an old version of it, I did contribute the latest update for it, but maybe it got you from the back ;(
oh its the g-Force app i meant, not gmeter, that is an included one, so it should work

1- I disabled all the apps
2- Deleted python.ini
3- Deleted the apps folder
4- Ran the integrity check (which naturally re-installed the missing files)
5- Installed only Crewchief and ensured it was enabled
6- Started AC and to no avail

run ac vanilla launcher from steam and enable python and the apps there, also start a session then, if it then works it should with CM too

Did all that, to no avail, thinking of removing everything and fresh reinstall. In my mind something somehow got damaged, but what??? Could you elaborate on "enable python" ? Can you in fact disable python? key combo?
