Well all I did was download the update and then install it after words I tried to launcher the pathfinder file and got that error. It's only does it on the pathfinder files no other game is affected.
7.6 was working fine for me, but 7.7 won't let me in to the pathfinder files.

Tried to buy a Yak. It's showing up as... I think a hireling? Instead of an animal minion. IE: it wants me to give it class levels, and is mising is animal abilities.

Also, my PFS character still can't put the gun kit on the mule without the mule giving an error.

Disregard.

Simply downloaded the new patch and tried to launch pathfinder...crash and error report

Ditto.

But I did submit an error report stating tried to launch the main program and it just crashed!

I too am having problems with today's update. Hero Lab 4.1 updates no problem. Pathfinder downloads, but will not import because the file is corrupt. Attempting to redownload does not fix this, and sometimes gets a bad access error. I have one other license which has not tried to update.

HeroLab.exe has encountered an error and needs to close.

ACCESS VIOLATION

Type: bad read

I have encountered this same issue (and submitted error logs) on three different systems after updating to HeroLab 4.1a and both Pathfinder v7.6 and v7.7. I encountered it on two different Windows XP SP3 systems (one licensed, one running in demo mode) and a system running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (another licensed system). All crash when attempting to either start a fresh Pathfinder portfolio (simply choosing "Pathfinder" from the HeroLab start screen to begin a new character) or attempting to open an existing portfolio. My Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 system has no errors opening any of these portfolios (or creating new ones), and does not crash even after running all of the latest updates (though d20pfsrd's new Mythic Playtest dataset refuses to load, I assume that is a separate issue). Other datasets (such as Mutants and Masterminds 3e or the Pathfinder Beginner Box) load fine on all systems.

Cross post.

I have installed 7.6 on three machines.

Two Windows 7 - both run fine, with Rappan Athuk

Windows XP - Same crash as seen above.

Thanks for reporting the crash issue - I'm looking into this now. Is anyone getting the crash under Windows 7? Or just Vista / XP?

Edit: Also, when exactly does the crash occur? Right after you hit the "Load" button? Or does another message like "Compiling Data Files for Game System" appear first? I've been unable to reproduce the problem on any of the machines I've tried it on here, so any extra details would be very helpful.

I got rid of the pathfinder folder - total delete and downloaded it fresh and when I went to start Pathfinder it got to the logo and tried to load the files then crashed. I'm at a loss,7.6 worked for me just fine but 7.7 just caused my pathfinder to go to the crappers. LOL - what a pain for you guys. I know you are all working hard to get this fixed and I thank you for it.

For anyone having the crash problem with the Pathfinder data files, please check my first post on this page of the thread for a temporary solution:

Please keep all discussion of the crash in the linked thread, rather than here, so that we can keep everything all in one place. Thanks for your help, and sorry for the inconvenience!

I have done the following:

- Deleted Hero Lab entirely and reinstalled
- Downloaded Pathfinder 7.7 directly from the site using Firefox and tried to import from Import File
- Tried downloading from the Find Updates screen
- Repeated all steps with Hero Lab run as administrator
- Turned off my firewall (which has worked previously with Hero Lab) and repeated all steps

I run Windows 7. When I try to import, it fails because the file is corrupted. When I try to load Pathfinder, it cannot read 'Pathcore.pkg'. When I redownload the file, it still does not import. Sometimes it crashes with the same error as others, but usually just fails and tells me the file is corrupt. Hero Lab has worked perfectly previous to this.

I am receiving the following error in Windows 7 and it has proven to be repeatable and has occurred with this upgrade and it has not been good timing :? Is there a projected timeframe to correct the update?

I'd like to apologize for an omission. We incorporated several Adjustments that were created by ShadowChemosh in his ShadowChemoshAdjustments package into the core Hero Lab files, but I forgot to cite that in the release notes for this update. I've changed the release notes at the beginning of this post, and in the next update, the correct attribution will be included in the release notes within the program.
Special Thanks

• Thanks to ShadowChemosh for allowing us to incorporate several adjustments from his ShadowChemosh Adjustments project.

Enhancements & Changes

• Courtesy of ShadowChemosh, we've added new adjustments for Armor bonuses to AC, Touch AC bonuses, Flat-footed AC bonuses, and Dodge bonuses to AC, along with weapon damage die sizes.

Version 7.7 Guided Property still not working

Hello,
I have 7.7 installed and the guided weapon property still seems to not be working. I'm using it with a composite bow and a zen archer. The bonus damage is not showing up. I can't say if the bonus attack is showing up b/c its duplicated by the zen archer ability.

Thanks,
blue
