The Question: Can I retrieve/recover/resynch my data?

To explain: After using TCE for a while, I chose to fill in "ShipLogBook > Personal Stats > New Commander". When I hit "Save Commander" TCE froze. After waiting a considerable time (just in case it unlocked) I had to "Task Mgr > End Task". On restarting the program, all my data was 'lost'. To be specific, it does not come up on any TCE panel but appears to still be in the database: TCE.mdb. So back to my question, can I retrieve/recover/resynch my data before I cause irreversible loss by say, reinstalling.
BTW, I have searched this forum for clues, but did not see anything conclusive and specific to recovering data.

I could not get to the debug window that I know was there as it came up behind the frozen panel.
I am using TCE_v1.42beta2_update on top of TCE_v1.41_installer
Windows 8.1-64 with msOffice 2010 Excel and Access 32-bit

TCE is a great piece of work. You have worked hard to create TCE and get it out to us; That is apparent and I really do appreciate that. I don't mind some crashes and having to fiddle with new work, but to lose my data hurts.

Please advise about retrieving/recover/resynching my data and I promise I will do better be backing up the whole directory from now on.
Thanks

Hello,

a backup is done every day from your database folder. It is found at the backup folder of TCE. Please try a backup first.
If you encounter a behavior, as you described, and clicking on TCE results in a 'bing' sound, press enter and TCE continues or the debug window opens and shows you the codeline, where the error happens.
If all is not working, upload your database folder. I will check then, where the problem is.

Did the logbook stayed open during star system change?

Jack London said:
Here is a feature proposal: I would like to be able to toggle the position/destination window in compact mode. I am able to do it via hide/show button in the panal positions window but every time i toogle the ui on/off it comes back on. I think it would be a really nice addition for people who only like to use the Logbook and even traders do not trade all they time *or maybe the do?*
I do like the suggestion of the autohide of the starsystem summary window!

Waiting to test the next release!

So long...

Edit: Is it safe to set the y-value to lets say -200 to make it disapear?
Click to expand...

Yes, you can set it out of view.

But i think, its not a problem to use the hotkey for this, to hide the panels. An extra hide option is not planned,

Found it, fixed in next release.



What you did before? Entered a new station? Selected a different station as your position? Modified a station?
Click to expand...

it's different how this comes up.
in the case below, i registered a trade station, scanned market, clicked destination, chose one, clicked trade:

View attachment 43904

choosing / switching the actual position will often result in the same error, sides switched.
i have a strong feeling it has to do with the panel display mode. seems to work better in old mode.
but switching from old to new a few times back and forth gets tce freezing.

The panel display mode is only about sizing the panel, nothing else. Will look into it,because of freezing, but i think, i should move the option to the setup.

Bug Report v1.42 Beta 2

Trade Information Panel / Find Commodity
  • After selecting a commodity the search result appears in the window below. By clicking on the commodity an error appears. In my case the commodity is located at the station I am docked.

This is not really a TCE bug report but some information that might be useful.

My AlienWare M17xR2 is above the required specs for ED but not by very much.

When I first started playing it was running fine but I got more lag and crashes after every update until 1.3.1

The latest 1.3.2 actually fixed a lot of that and ED is quite a bit better but still not quite as fluid as it was when it was first released.

This is especially true on inter system jump.

There is a noticeable slow down in the middle of the jump,
presumable when ED is loading up the next system.
And at it's worst, after 1.3.1, it would crash ED on almost every jump.

Now it's rare when I only run ED,
but if TCE is open it will still crash on almost every jump.

Before ED 1.3, disabling TCE's pop up did the trick and stopped the crashes.
Since ED 1.3, that is not enough anymore.

To jump without crashing the game, I have to hide TCE before every jump
and bring it back after I'm actually out of FSD, stopped at the destination star.

After some research, what I have found it that somehow, the combination of ED and TCE updading/uploading their info for the new system at the same time crashes my AMD display driver and by the time it recovers ED is too far gone to do the same. So the sound keeps going, and after a while I can ear my ship coming our of fsd, moving toward the star, start to fuel scoop and get heat damage... if if do not kill ED with the task manager before that happens.

I have of course reported this to ED when it happened all the time with only ED running.
But now that if almost never does unless I also run TCE I doubt that they will do anything more.

At least if somebody else get these kind of crashes on jumps

This might will let them know that they can still use TCE by hiding it before each jumps.

Pop up of the summary or the Add Star System panel? You tried changing the Panel Display Mode?

What is the screenshot about, any error you getting at the marked codeline?
Click to expand...

The errors are listed below both EliteOCR's Errors and the one I get with TCE see dropbox link, but they only happen when I have the new display option, if I maintain the old display option everything works ok, and yes patch to 1.42 beta 2 now old option stays put when exiting now.

No number I just get the debug dialogue box which if I choose debug displays that line in excel then I terminate excel in task manager. Again runs great in old display mode though I do notice a kind of hang white screen for about 2 seconds when adding and then saving notes in the cartography panel.

The debug dialoue should have a number, but please make a screenshot of it. Thanks

Anyplace other than DropBox to get this?

No, Dropbox is the only one, and i suggest not to load TCE from any other place, because you can't be sure, if the code was modded from someone else than me.

I updated to the latest 1.41 installer and then the 1.42 beta 2 and now both the TCE Setup and TCE give me a fatal error on start "TCE.ini not compatible with this version. Skipping TCE.ini". I am using Microsoft Office Professional 32 bit and it is updated.
