csp-stars fail to initialize - not displayed #334

Closed Sasatari closed 1 year ago

Sasatari commented 1 year ago

Starts and runs, but shows no stars. Shell throws: [W] cosmoscout-vr ..... Failed to initialize plugin 'csp-stars': bad allocation

New to cosmoscout vr, couldn´t change the simple_desktop.json successfully, a settings.json doesn´t exist.

Checked existense of files which are linked in the json. They all are in the right location.

Effect is, that everything runs fine as far as I can tell, but it doesn´t show any stars.

Downloaded latest binary today, installed on a Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX, 128GB and RTX3080.

Hi there; thanks for the report! The first thing I can think of is that maybe the star data got somehow corrupted while downloading. In the share\download\stars directory should be two files: hip_main.dat (\~53 MB) and tyc2_main.dat (\~528 MB). Do they exist? If they are smaller, maybe you should delete them and CosmoScout will re-download them upon the next launch.

Also, you could try deleting the file bin\star_cache.dat in case this is somehow corrupted. If both approaches do not help, we have to investigate further :wink:

Success. The files were existing and slightly smaller. But after deleting them, they were downloaded again in the same size, but this time they are correctly and fully displayed.

Case solved. I C stars. Thanks!
