HonorBuddy fails to launch

[pwylladune]

I've tried everything I've seen in this thread: uninstalled anything similar to the programs listed as possible issues, restarted multiple times, changed WoW to DX9 (which caused it to fail since DX9 is not supported in Win10), and I always launch as admin.

I had HBRelogg going all night and this log is the same for each launch.

Either your settings file is corrupted, or the profile you're using has a mistype in it.

You mentioned that you "uninstalled" the bot - but you need to do a complete fresh install (download a ZIP and put it into a new folder, not the existing bot folder)

Also, which profile are you trying to use?

clear your settings folder

Ok, reinstalled and deleted the settings file, restarted computer and it has successfully launched. Thank you!

you're welcome
