Thank you for the reply.
I run Win 8.1 pro x64 (I mentioned previously
i run x64)
ArcheAge runs perfectly with glyph, but as I said, AB doesn't even want to load. I mean it checks if a new build is available, after it doesn't find any newer one, before loading the AB main window, i get that error.
AB doesn't load.
1) I'll give it a go, even though AA runs fine with glyph.
2) More inclined to reinstall the whole operating system --> that's how bad things look ... and it's a day's work and total exhaustion given how many things I have installed and set up.
3) Tried that, as I said: tried clean install new folder. Can't export anything since I can't even open AB.
4) No good, doesn't work. Tried it. I use Avast btw and don't use windows defender.
5) Again, I think you haven't read what I wrote: can't open AB ... archebuddy, not archeage.
6) Already did that. Even uninstalled all Visual C++ frameworks and reinstalled only the 2013 one x86 one. Still broken. Then added the x64 one also. Broken. Reinstalled .net 4.5 ... still nothing, repaired it, nothing.
7) I've sent the log to Out but he never responds. Here's the log:
http://tempsend.com/4608DA57BF (not sure how you can read that, tried many programs even a special one for reading all known types of logs - none work reading this kind of log)
8) Again, as I said in my first post - AB doesn't start. But with this setting I've run AB since day 1.
I've opened a thread there also, but no one responds. No one.
Really? You're telling
me that I could have read some previous support threads because it's nothing new? This IS new. Maybe if you read what I wrote you would have known that. Have you been on the forums lately and seen that
I am the one who gave a lot of advice and support to others and I'm the one who tested a lot of things and gave Out logs when the Hackshield disconnects problem happened.
Of course I've searched the forums, but I think you haven't bothered to actually read what I wrote, because you wrongly understood it is a problem of not launching an archeage session through archebuddy, when in fact archebuddy doesn't want to load at all.
If I haven't changed one thing on my client side or config, it must be the new build. Right after updating it started giving that error, so most likely there's an issue with how the new build was compiled. Maybe he didn't put "any CPU" or did something that made the new build incompatible with windows 8.1 . I remember people saying it's incompatible with windows 10, so that wouldn't be far fetched.
I need to know so I don't put a shitload of effort into backing-up everything, reinstalling everything from scratch, a day's work, only to find out it didn't fix the problem because it wasn't on my end. But for that I need some basic communication from the developers or someone close to them. Meanwhile, I'm loosing patron time on a dozen accounts, time and money.
confirming it works on 8.1 proves it's something broken on my end.
