1.2.4.1 re-merging WotC files on Every Load

Closed this issue · 9 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 1.2.4.1
2. Run most current update
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Every time the loader is opened it merges all files from 00-sources to 
dnd40,then launches the LCB, then continues merging files again giving the 
message "This is not a bug etc etc". Having this happen once on a new update is 
time consuming, however, it is happening EVERY time that I launch the CBLoader 
which means Every time I want to load the program I need to wait 30+ minutes, I 
tried removing the <Custom>custom</Custom> tag as suggested on the wiki but 
this had no effect. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

I have the same issue since moving to 1.2.4.1 and switching to the wotc.index 
so I'm not sure which is causing the issue.

I updated to 1.2.4.1 and downloaded the wotc.index file, cleared everything out 
of my Custom folder apart from wotc.index and then ran CBLoader.exe and it 
downloaded and merged all parts as expected.  Every subsequent time I run 
CBLoader, it re-merges all of the downloaded parts.

Am running on Win7 x64.

Running with the -v switch shows the output in the attached file.

Found solution (at least for Vista 32)

Not all of the updates were properly downloading/writing
I had to Run as Admin AND since the program is not from a "Trusted Publisher" 
my computer was "blocking" it so I had to Unblock it using the unblock button 
in the properties tab (First time I've ever seen that) after I did that and ran 
it again, it updated properly and all further loadups did not merge

I recommend you move all your parts from the Custom folder to the "My 
Documents\DDI\CBLoader" folder.  This fixes the problem with needing to run as 
admin under Vista/Win7.

After spending 2 days cursing it, it seems to have resolved itself this morning 
and I have no idea why!  I do have a different issue which is that one of my 
.dnd4e files now crashes the char builder whenever I try to load it although 
all the others work fine.  I even tried importing it into the online 
charbuilder and then re-exporting it and it still causes the same issue.  I'll 
do some digging but I think it's related to some rituals and if I work out what 
causes it I'll report back!

HEY! Just an FYI! CBLoader files are not file compatable with the new builder! 
Do not try to mix them!

Apart from a loss of the at-wills, and a couple feats, it handled the 
transition quite well.  That said, I was unable to get the loader to crash on 
your character.

Fixed original issue in 1.3.0. (Also, your merges should be much faster now)
