rawName with empty string exception
This bug was encountered while using CrewChief with rFactor 2 but I suspect it would be relevant to other sims as well.
--- Setup
- Using Windows 10 Pro
- Updated CrewChief to the latest version 4.9.8.8
- Downloaded rFactor 2 latest driver names (Race Department)
--- Game
- Started rF2 x64 and tested with a stock GT3 race with a stock track (DLC)
- During the race, CrewChief threw an exception when it tried to name the driver ahead
- CrewChief exception window was thrown on top of rFactor 2 freezing the race
- Restarting rFactor 2 the same behaviour has been observed with a number of other drivers
--- Solution
- After further investigation, a temporary workaround was found by enabling the "TTS setting (text)" option "only when necessary"
- The TTS pronounces the name of the driver correctly (default voice profile) when the spotter gives an update that uses an unrecognised name
