| When I booted my win 10 pc today, I was suprised to discover that MUSHclient would crash on load, and each and everytime I tried through the exe. I had version 4.94, so I updated to 5.06. But no good, still crashing.
There was a massive windows update today, dled and finished it. Also made no difference at all.
To my suprise however, if I open through the worlds folder, doubleclicking my worldsave, then it starts up fine.
I removed all worlds from startup under Global preferences, made no difference.
Edit: Making a shortcut to the world file and trying it causes crash on load. But clicking just the mcl file have no issues. | | Top |

| The odds of us being able to figure out what caused this are pretty low.
Did you move your MUSHclient folder to a new location recently?
Nick, you don't happen to know how to make a debugging build that dumps a human-readable stack trace on crash do you? |

| | I have had problems in the past where strange things were on the clipboard (eg. an image). Try copying something text-like (eg. the word "foo") to the clipboard, and then seeing if it opens. |

| Ive been fighting with this for a while, and finally managed to solve it.
It used to be under Programs (x86), but on a whim after backing up everything important, I moved it to the root of C:, reinstalled it and added my personal files.
I do not know why it did not like to be under Programs (x86 anymore. the folder is protected and you have to confirm as admin that changes to it is ok.
I did have to redirect to the new directory in a lot of bits in the client. But everything is sorted and runs fine now. | | Top |
