Hi,

my GameEx install crashes on launch. See attached log. This only manifested when I updated to the latest version on the auto update.

Rgds,

You need to do a manual download and install from gameex.com. The auto update just does the same thing but without user intervention. The version you are on was only available briefly and crashed on startup for everyone. There is a newer version that fixes this issue.

Thanks.

Tom.

Hi Dobbs. The latest update is 12.78. Your log shows 12.72. Please download the full version, run the setup, and report back with the results. Thanks!
