Observed

USE google traslate : hello good I have problems to start eddi, I suggest a Spanish guide that English does not know https://youtu.be/bWTNiEZT-0o doing it step by step when I open eddi it closes to the seconds, I reinstalled voice atack and eddi and it still doesn't work, sorry for englis

Investigation

i dont have a idea

[Tkael]

Does EDDI open correctly when run in standalone mode?

[Tkael]

EDDI normally runs in the background in VoiceAttack. You need to use a command to make the window visible. In English, you would import the profile EDDI.vap then use the commands Open EDDI or Configure EDDI.

EDDI and VA open 2 seg and close

Please do the following:

1. Open Elite Dangerous and log in to any game mode.
2. Close Elite Dangerous.
3. Attempt to restart VoiceAttack.

There seems to be a problem with trying to convert a null DateTime for a faction into seconds. We'll need to address this for the next update.

[bensaess]

still not working and now gives an error

[Tkael]

That screen always appears when VoiceAttack doesn't shut down properly. Please select No.

[bensaess]

select no and close voice atack https://gyazo.com/a6e27aeed648e7723d1e84b6622542cb

[Tkael]

Proposed fix... revise Faction.cs lines 51 and 98 as follows:

        public long? updatedat => Dates.fromDateTimeStringToSeconds(updatedAt != null ? updatedAt.ToString() : null);

(The ToString() method appears to be throwing an exception when updatedAt is null)

[Tkael]

Ok, if it's still exiting after you've created a clean journal by following the steps above then it's probably a problem with one of the factions in your home system or your squadron system. Navigate to %appdata%/EDDI while EDDI is not running. Remove eddi.json from the directory. Attempt to start VoiceAttack. Does that fix the problem?

[bensaess]

in edi,json is this

{ "homeSystem": null, "homeStation": null, "destinationSystem": null, "destinationStation": null, "squadronName": null, "squadronID": null, "squadronRank": "None", "squadronAllegiance": "$faction_None", "squadronPower": "None", "squadronSystem": null, "squadronFaction": null, "debug": false, "beta": false, "plugins": { "Galnet monitor": false }, "Gender": "Male", "exporttarget": "Coriolis" }

        public long? updatedat => Dates.fromDateTimeStringToSeconds(updatedAt != null ? updatedAt.ToString() : null);

updatedAt is a DateTime, which is a struct and cannot be null. That said, converting to string and parsing it again is a bit bonkers.

[Tkael]

Please retest with version 3.4.2-rc1?

THK Run thank you already fixed: 3
