launching DR gets unhanded exception


Recommended Posts

I just ran into the problem discussed in this older thread: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/18562-dr-unhandled-exception/

 

I checked darkradiant.log and it said:

 

2019-03-13 14:19:54 (13600) XMLRegistry: Importing XML file: C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/DarkRadiant/filters.xml
2019-03-13 14:19:54 (13600) Unhandled Exception: Unable to load file: C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/DarkRadiant/filters.xml
I looked at filter.xml and it was an empty document (well, a bunch of spaces). I deleted it and then DR started up fine.
So all is well. Attached is the bad 'filters.xml' file, if anyone is interested. Seems like a pretty minor bug.

Yeah last I recall, the general thing I was told was to delete the DR temp folder in AppData and restart. Not sure what causes it myself but I think it's been a persistent (if primarily annoying) bug that's been around for a while.

I just started having this problem this morning. I tried to follow the steps above but I must be doing something wrong. Couldn't find Appdata/Roaming under users, nothing close. I found some xml files just under the normal darkmod/DR folder. I made a copy of them in a separate folder on my desktop if greebo would like a look at them. But deleting them out of the DR folder didn't fix anything next time I restarted.

Doing some digging on my machine the only files anywhere that resemble appdata/roaming are under Windows/WinSxS or something crazy, in the screen you can see they don't seem to relate at all. I feel like not even close here.

I can reproduce the crash on Linux using the corrupted filters.xml in the original post, so I can investigate the problem on Linux (which will hopefully fix it on Windows too, although it's not so easy for me to test that side of things).

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
