Issues / Re: v1 works fine but v2 will not start

Awesome!  Thanks for the update.  Normally, Steam would indicate that you would need to install.NET 8.  I’m wondering if .NET 8 was being reported as installed, but something may have been up with it.

I will double check with Steve to make sure that everything is square on that end. 

Again, thank you for the heads up!

Thank you both very much for your help.

.NET 8 needed installing.

You’ll also want to make sure .NET 8 is installed, and installed properly. It could be that Steam didn’t warn as it should:

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

Make sure to download and install the desktop x64 runtime.

From there, I would uninstall version 2 and reinstall it, to find out if you have a borked installation.

If none of these fix your issue, I would seek a refund, download the demo and work with it until you can figure out what is going on with your machine as you would have something going on that has not been accounted for (and if it cannot be solved, you would not be out any money).

There should be a "Start VoiceAttack With Options" batch file inside the installation directory. If you double-click that, what happens?

Unfortunately, there is no VoiceAttackFault.txt file in the v2 installation directory.

VoiceAttack is not running in the background.

and a restart has not solved the problem.

32767 is greater than 95, no?

Also, those are values for joystick devices. Gamepads tend to use -32768 to 32767, with 0 as the center position.


Have you checked the actual values your device is outputting, using a "Write a Value to the Event Log" action and the relevant joystick state tokens?

Hi Pfeil,

Yep - I didn’t get to the “else if” as I thought that was efficiency - just trying to get it to work.

I looked up joystick values in Win10:

Code: [Select]

Value Range: 0 to 65535 (16-bit unsigned integer).
Neutral (center): ~32767 (middle of the range).

Full Left: 0.

Full Right: 65535.


I’ll play with this again later tonight.

Regards,
Scott

That's not what I was referring to regarding "Else If". This changes the command from tapping the directional keys to holding them.

As to the constant holding: have you actually checked the values returned by the joystick axes?
They are not percentages, which you appear to be assuming.

Hi...

Code: [Select]

Start Indefinite Loop
    Begin Device State Check :  Joystick 1 X Is Greater Than 95
        Press down Right key
    Else
        Release Right key
    End Condition
    Begin Device State Check :  Joystick 1 X Is Less Than 05
        Press down Left key
    Else
        Release Left key
    End Condition
    Pause 0.1 seconds
End Loop

It seems close - but I am missing something - when I start the loop - it has a constant [Right Arrow] key press with the joystick in the neutral - the only way to release it - is when I move the joystick to the left which presses a [Left Arrow]. As soon as I release to neutral - it's pressing [Right Arrow] again.

I need to hold down the arrow key until the joystick is released.

I see what you're saying about Else If.

Thanks for all the help, info, - and patience.


Regards,
Scott

Is there a VoiceAttackFault.txt file in the v2 installation directory?

Have you checked the "Details" tab of Windows Task Manager to see whether VoiceAttack is running in the background?

Have you restarted your computer (using the "Restart" option in the Windows Start menu, not by shutting down and powering back on)?
