Summary	0000004: Access to shared texture area freezes BMS
Description	Using extraction tools like MFDE, RTTclient or YAME64 for texture access results in random freeezes of texture updates and / or BMS crashes.
Steps To Reproduce	o Configure one of the above mentioned tools to extract shared textures from BMS like RWR or one of the MFDs o Start the "harm" training mission o switch randomly through various MFD pages in flight o 2 times out of 3 the texture extraction will freeze at some point (no more texture updates), while shared memory access still works.
Additional Information	I've assigned "high" priority because this bug is detrimental for BMS for cockpit builders and deskpit users. Apparently not all members using extraction tools experience these issues, but roughly 80% have been able to reproduce them i'd say (unless there's a silent, happy BMS texture extraction community not loudly complaining on the BMS forum :) Relevant Threads on the BMS forum: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?40754-Cockpit-display-extraction&p=559323#post559323 https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?40679-BUG-RTT-Remote-Freezing&highlight=rttclient

LorikEolmin 2020-12-28 06:20 reporter ~0000002	If I may. One of my usual wingmate has exactly the same kind of freezes while having NO extraction of any sort working; however, he did have the... set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 ... line set in his cfg. He had very frequent freezes (with no crash log) with the line, and he seems not have any yet since he changed it to 0.

oakdesign 2020-12-28 08:02 reporter ~0000003	with the TR_BMS_12_HARM.trn mission if have a 100% reproducabitlity of the FalconTexturesSharedMemoryArea freeze. setting falcon bms.cfg set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 10 so that the FalconTexturesSharedMemoryArea only gets rendered at 1/10 of the game FPS extends the time of the freeze to occur. with g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 and setting left MFD with HAD on right MFD with TGP on and AG Mode and AGM-88 powered on the freez will occur within 2 minutes

I-Hawk 2020-12-28 09:05 manager ~0000004	Hi, This issue is known and was already solved internally. It'll be included in a future 4.35 Update. Thanx!

Blu3wolf 2021-02-27 08:08 manager ~0000294	@I-Hawk, could you confirm if the fix for this was included in U1? We can close if so.
