Infinite Spin shortly after use - SOLVED

[phoenix]

I have successfully used VA for some commands to il2-GB for some years.

Recently, it hangs (spinning symbol, no response in Task Manager), shortly after game launch.
I tried the system file scan suggested https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=2544.msg14296#msg14296 , but no improvement.
I'm afraid I don't have the voiceattackfault.txt, because the only such file in ...Appdata/Roaming/VoiceAttack... seems to have information that is years old. There is no other such file on the PC.

I'm running VR - OpenComposite with a Reverb G2 - and have no default sound devices until the VR starts up. Previously, this has been fine with VA, it discovers the microphone and speakers without trouble.

What can I do to debug this?

Thanks,

So we're clear: VoiceAttack itself does start and run successfully, but it's when you start a specific game that the issue occurs?

Are you running any plugins for VoiceAttack?

[phoenix]

No plugins.
I'm not sure how quickly it fails after games start. Sometimes it runs successfully for some time.

Thanks for the quick reply.

If you don't start that particular game, does the same issue occur?


It may be that your speech recognition profile (which is unrelated to VoiceAttack profiles; it's a feature of the Microsoft speech recognition system) has become corrupted, which can cause all sorts of strange issues.

You could try creating and training a new speech recognition profile, following the steps in this topic

That's a bit hard to test because the VR only starts up on game start and that's when the microphone becomes available.

I just ran a test, VA recognises the new micropone fine, ran for a while in game, then locked-up.

I'll try the recognition profile.

Installing a new recognition profile seems to have done the trick.

Thanks very much, Pfiel.
