Cannot open DB & folder is lagging

[esbe1236]

Hello,

I'm having some trouble opening Demonbuddy.

I've tried both using the installer & zip file, same issue.

So whats happening is: I doubleclick the .exe file > Folder is lagging and not responding > It finally asks me if i want to run the program > nothing happens.

The whole demonbuddy folder is not responding, after a couple of mins, windows will close the whole explorer and restart it.

I obviously cant attach any logs as DB will never open.

I've tried restarting, re-installing DB from installer & zip, and re-installing .NET 4.6.1 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 Update 1 x86

Help!

any antivirus enabled?

any antivirus enabled?

Only using the built-in, in Windows 10.

After many tries, I've managed to open & run the bot. Takes me a while each time though.

If I try to right click the .exe shit goes down, and I have to force-quit explorer.

try to set an exception for the antivirus

try to set an exception for the antivirus

Huh. It actually worked. Color me surprised. Why is this suddenly an issue ?

 

[Tony]

probably cause of an update of the antivirus definitions or something

I have Malwarebyte. It still doesn't seem to work when I added the entire demonbuddy folder and individual files to the exceptions.

I was experiencing the same problem as the OP.. I added the exclusion and presto chango, it worked!
