Crash when loading latest version of Pathfinder

[jbearwillis]

It got to the logo started to do the files and crashed - in my main Pathfinder no I have no user file what so ever.

I don't think so.

For the people experiencing this crash, here's what I'd like you to try:


1) First, here's the previous version of the Pathfinder data files. If you download and import this, do you still get the crash?

(Close Hero Lab, download the file, then double-click to import it. When you're asked if you want to import the older game system, say "yes", and don't allow Hero Lab to download an update to it.)


2) If you still experience the crash, download and install this previous version of Hero Lab. Do you still get the crash?

Please let me know whether you still get the crash after each step above, as that'll help me figure out exactly what's going on here. I've been unable to reproduce the problem myself after multiple tests, so hopefully the links above will help get people up and running for their games at the weekend.

Thanks for your help, and sorry for the inconvenience.

I am on an XP machine, I have the Community Bestiary files, and it says, "Compiling User Files" right before it gives me the same error message. This did not happen until after I had updated to the latest PF files.

I am trying your suggestion to download and install the previous version of Pathfinder.

I hope that was helpful to you.

I'm on Vista and the old one works fine. I got into my pathfinder file perfectly. So it has to be something in 7.7 that's is causing it to crash.

It was the first download that I used and all 3 of my Pathfinder are up and running, 2 of them has user files in them the other one does not.

Hope that helped you out a little

I'm using win XP. I was getting the crash with the current version of Herolab and the current pathfinder files. I installed the rollback file and no longer get the crash.

Just wanted to update and clarify a few things with this post.

On my win XP machine my install of Herolab was a clean fresh install, after having the issues I uninstalled Herolab and removed all files from my PC. I then tried installing Herolab many times using the new Pathfinder files and that caused the crashes upon launch. Then after installing the rollback file listed above, 7.5 I believe it worked just fine.

Now I just installed the newest version of Herolab and the newest Pathfinder files on my laptop a Win Vista machine and they worked just fine.

Works fine for me on Win 8. Brand new install and DL of data files.
