That's all its showing.

My set up is good and dandy since I have other toons running on the same key perfectly fine. Only occurring when trying to start quest bot on this toon.

 

[lazaro666]

Deleting LevelBot.Settings in the Settings folder under the specific toon name fixes the issue.

Great

 

[lazaro666]

Apparently most of the Styx exceptions calling a 0x00 error cannot divide by 0 can be fixed by deleting that specific file and letting it regenerate a new one

Hi, Lazaro666,

That solution is called a "band aid". The correct thing to do is figure out why the Bot was shut down ungracefully to begin with, and fix that problem. The ungraceful shutdown is what cause the file to become corrupt in the first place.

Hi Chinajade
Arelog shuts the bot down ungracefully often, causing the server to be unable to log back in due to the key still being logged in. It also causes plenty of corruptions within the quest and wow caches, but to be honest the benefits outweights the problems. However the occurrence was due to a power outage.
