Thanks eMTee for your swift reply. I've gone through your checklist, to no avail. First of all I am not high on themes and I had no 3rd party visual theme or anything like that. Secondly, I couldn't get the portable version to work.
However, I backed up the settings to different folder and did a complete re-install and found out the source of the problem (or at least I think so). I retraced my steps and did exactly what I did before problems started to appear. I re-istalled from scratch, keping only the download queue. Then I compiled a new Favourite Hub list similar to the one I had before, and making sure I only connected to one hub at a time (to rule out errors prompted by certain hubs - as has been pointed out on the forum previosly). After that everything still worked fine and I had no crashes. Then I remembered that just before I started getting those strage errors and crashes I tried to get rid of annoying bots. (I have some 40+ hubs in my favourites list to maximize search results, and having to cope with 20-30-40 bots randomly sending you useless messages every 5 minutes or so is a big pain in... generally is a big pain). So I Went to Settings -> Appearance - > Windows and I checked "Ignore private messages from the hub" and "Ignore private messages from bots". And five minutes later, DC++ crashed. Then I opened it again, and in 3 minutes it crashed again. So I unchecked "Ignore private messages from bots" and everything came back to normal. I haven't had a crash for the past five days (I've used DC++ 3-4 times in that time frame). So I suppose it's one of these two: 1. DC++ has some sort of bug that is prompted by checking that "Ignore bots" option. (I doubt it's this one) or 2. Ignoring bots causes (some) bots to flood me with private message requests which finally drive my DC++ nuts and cause it to crash. I tend to think it's the second one, especially since most times my DC++ crashed the program took a loooong time to shut down and my CPU's went from roughly 40% average to about 80% avg in use, and the overall speed of all my other processes decreased, untill DC++ fully shut down. Just like when you have a defective plugin in you browser (usually Flash related) and it causes all your other browser tabs to become very sluggish or stop responding as well. Hopefully this helps and maybe you can look into it. If you think I should do more tests to nail this one 100% and help you track tjis (possible) bug, the shoot. I'm a volunteer guinea pig :) Cheers, and thanks again! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Dcplusplus-team, which is subscribed to DC++. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334054 Title: DC++ crashes in different ways Status in DC++: New Bug description: My DC++ crashes in different ways. It started off by giving me an error, saying it needs to close. Then it started to just shut down without a warning and with no error code at all. Then my Favourites list vanished, which caused a big upset. Now it just freezes. I can browse whatever page (hub, user or search results page) I have opened, but is does nothing else. After 3 attempst, I managed to get this error message: AppName: dcplusplus.exe AppVer: 0.8.4.3 ModName: dcplusplus.exe ModVer: 0.8.4.3 Offset: 0019bd7f Now it just freezes right after opening, I cannot close opened windows or do anything else. There is no error message and it takes about 3 minutes for the program to shut down (unless I force shut it down, through Task Manager) I use Windows XP SP3 Manually configured router Here's the crash log: DC++ version: DC++ v0.843 (r"533213aa9fa2+") TTH: DSAUJC46C3B3EELZYKWI4LBHCNOHZYPWLXHS4QY Compiled with MinGW-w64's GCC 4.8.2 Exception code: c0000005 Windows version: major = 5, minor = 1, build = 2600, SP = 3, type = 1 Processors: 2 * x86 Writing the stack trace...
