Using ATC causes v2.3 to freeze - undocumented changes to simconnect?

After patching to v2.3, the simulation will freeze when the ATC or First Officer speak, via Pro-ATC-X, noticeable by a complete freeze of Track-IR head movement, which then works as normal when the spoken text has ended.



Could this be caused by a change to the simconnect engine in v2.3?

If so, could you please advise what has changed so that a workaround/ fix can be found.



The default ATC works as usual and while this could be considered a Pro-ATC problem, I thought it prudent to ask here as well in case of any undocumented changes.



Thank you,

Toby

Do you have the same issue without the plugin? Did this work for you in 2.2? Does running at higher or lower settings effect the frequency and duration of the stutter caused by sound playback?

Hi Beau,



Only Pro-ATC voices causes this freeze.

Stock ATC voice works fine.

VoxATC with Ivona voices works fine.

Pro-ATC worked fine in v2.2.

Freeze is not affected by settings.

This is an odd one and I've not seen this before.



Regards,

Toby
