Hero Lab V3.6 Released

rob · March 16th, 2010, 04:48 AM

We released the new V3.6 update a few hours ago. A proper release announcement will be posted tomorrow after we get a good night's sleep.

In the meantime, though, please note that we still had a couple things left that we wanted to add to a few of the game systems. Since V3.6 had already been seriously delayed, we wanted to avoid any further delays and get it out as soon as it was ready. So there should be updates to a few game systems over the next few days beyond what's included in V3.6.

Excellent, I'm looking forward to checking it out. Is there a changelist somewhere?

There are release notes included with the installation, and each game system has its own Faq, where that system's changelist is maintained.

If anybody else here on Windows 7 x64 has had a problem with Hero Lab crashing after downloading the 3.6, I was able to get it to work without a problem by setting the program to run in XP compatibility mode.

Did you try running it as an administrator?

Yep, I tried that first. I didn't record the exact error I got unfortunately. It is working fine now without any compatibility settings though.

So let me make sure I'm understanding the sequence of what happened here...
1. V3.6 crashed once
2. You ran V3.6 in XP compatability mode successfully
3. You stopped running it in XP compatability and are now running fine with no special handling.

Is that correct? If so, and without any details about the crash, there's unfortunately not a lot we can do to investigate this. :-(

It crashed? Yikes! It's been rock solid for us here in the office, and both Colen and I are running Windows 7 x64.

When does it crash? Where do you get during use before it crashes?

Right after it downloaded the 3.6 update, and asked if I wanted to exit Hero Lab and install it. I clicked on yes and it would give a crash report after that. Tried running in admin mode first and same thing. Ran in XP Compatibility mode and it worked fine. Since then I turned all that off and its running fine.
