Problem with 8.0d and multiple folders for Game System
 

Hi,

I've emailed support with the crashlog, but wanted to mention this here.

It appears the latest executable, 8.0d, is breaking with my Game System that has multiple folders (Pathfinder). On accessing any of them directly, HeroLab crashes with a BAD READ error. I am able to access them by loading another Game System (that does not have multiple folders) first, then using "Switch Game System" to change to any of the Pathfnder variants.

After updating, I cannot even use Hero Lab :(


Hero Lab has encountered an error and needs to close. Sorry! To help us fix this error, please send the following to support@wolflair.com in a single email:

Sent In!

I just sent mine in also. I can not use Pathfinder.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing.

I'm working on this now - I've put Hero Lab 8.0c back up on the updates mechanism until I get a fix for this. :( Sorry for the inconvenience!

Splendid! Thanks :)

I've been unable to reproduce the problem with my own copy of Pathfinder (which has multiple folders) - was the problem happening when you loaded Hero Lab then selected Pathfinder from the "select game" form? Or only when you launched it by double-clicking a Pathfinder portfolio, or loading one from Realm Works?

In my case, it was running the file as admin, then when load pathfinder CRASH. (That is what I recall doing....)

Herolab loaded fine but when I tried to load Pathfinder it crashed. Other games were fine. I also could load other games and switch game system and then load Pathfinder that way.

I could reproduce it both by running directly and choosing any Pathfinder-based folder, or by launching from Realm Works and selecting Pathfinder.
