In Topic: BWS randomly crashes after about a minute

17 August 2017 - 07:23 PM

OK, thanks.  Yeah, I've tried that several times too.  I did find out that it seems to only happen once I open the "Choose Mods and Components" feature...  Is that run by a specific file that I could add to the DEP/antivirus ignore lists on my end?

 

EDIT: nvm, just crashed on main page too...

 

EDIT 2: Yeah, it might be my antivirus (Webroot), it seems to having some weird issues that might relate to this but Idk for sure.  I loaded BWS on my Win 10 OS in VirtualBox and yeah it worked fine...


In Topic: BWS randomly crashes after about a minute

So I posted about this issue at the end of the BWS thread on the Beamdog forums but I figured I'd probably get a faster response here.

 

Anyway, I'm trying to setup my first BWS installation for BGEE.  I'm on Win 7, UAC disabled, games are all in E:\Games and were started and have a save file, BWS is in E:\Program Files (though tried moving it to Games as well), my antivirus is completely off, and all games and BWS are set to English language.  However, every time I use BWS that application crashes after about a minute of use no matter what I'm doing.  It doesn't seem to make any log files either and there's no error messages, it just shuts down completely.

 

Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Start BWS with

- *Start BiG World Setup - Update If Needed.vbs*

- A CMD window will open and check for the latest BWS version

- Let it finish to say *Press any key to continue*

- window closes and BWS starts some seconds later

 

Thank you, but that is how I normally start BWS up (since it gets updated almost every day it seems), so that doesn't fix it.

 

I even tried putting the "AutoIt3.exe" in the exclude from DEP list and my antivirus Allow list (because it initially had problems with it) and that didn't work either...  Might adding some other .exe files to these lists help?
