Error with newest exilebuddy

[gamemaste789]

is it just me, or when it goes to chicken, it crashs poe. and i have to restart it..

Please attach a full log of the bot instance that crashed.

There's nothing in the Chicken plugin to cause a crash. It might just have been random, so keep a look out to see if it happens more. The actual API we use now does all input emulated actions, so crashes should be very rare.

lol.. finally switched over from the other crap bot?
Good on ya. And don't use external PoE Apps, it messes up Buddy.

So your external Chicken script is closing PoE, which will close buddy.

That's weird. Did you stop the bot or is the bot still running when you did this?
The bot hooks into PoE, so if it's is running (You clicked start), you won't be able to do inputs.
Is it trying to chicken?
If you can send me your Teamviewer, i'll see what's going on.

Try changing your chicken method to the login screen instead. The client doesn't handle logging out to character selection the same way, and it looks like a client bug is getting triggered. The chicken logic literally just presses escape and clicks the button, so there's not much to change in the API itself.

A few people have noticed it randomly over time since the method was changed (which happened August 3rd). I can remember at least two reports of it. The actual API code hasn't changed though, so it's just a client issue if it's happening now, but wasn't before. I tried adding in some delays after clicking Sept 26th, but I don't know if it helped or not, since just using the login screen option instead fixed the issue.

The only real alternatives are to make chickening to character selection really slow (defeating the purpose) or just remove it altogether (which I've thought about before, but if it works for most people, it has just stayed).

I'll consider removing it all together in a future version if we see more reports of it, but it's just another example of a client issue we have to work around.
