Launcher crashes at... Selecting build?
on: December 08, 2015, 03:54:05 pm
As the title says. Launcher freezes forever at loading build [both wxLauncher and 5.5g] and crashes after few clicks. It started when I tried to test PBR build, but today I downloaded recent nightly to test new features and I have the same issue. I tried to launch nightly from 7 december, but I guess all builds have the same issue from some time. I tried to kill stuck process of build in taskmenager... And I can't o__O [same as Cobra here].

I have no idea where should I start digging for a solution. I cannot even select and launch debug :P.

Moved this to support, so the legions of helpful followers of this board will see it.  If it's a code bug we can move it to the SCP main forum :)

It's that all? Is that simple :D?

I added exception for Avast and it solved the problem.
What exactly causes this?

Selecting the build in the launcher causes it to silently try running it (with a special command-line flag to make it generate a file that tells the launcher all the command-line options that specific build supports, which it uses to populate the advanced settings menu); your Avast! decided that this was suspicious behavior and was probably causing the launcher to stop responding and look as though it had frozen.

I had the same problem with Avast, after installing Windows 10.  I can now run nightly builds, but still can't run 3.7.2 due to a different unresolved issue.
Maybe someday God will give you a little pink toaster of your own.

Is there some particular reason you need to run 3.7.2?

Nah, not so far.  :)  I just wanted to have it ready in case some mod would not play nice with the nightly builds.  All I have been playing lately though is the latest blue planet release, which of course requires a recent nightly build.

What requires 3.7.2 will work on recent nightly as well. 99% mods should.

Well, if you wanted to play JAD 2.22 or Xtreme Arcade you'd need a 3.7.2 or older build. The new shadow builds don't play nice with the custom shaders in there.
