Title: Client crashing while trying to launch (v0.8.0)
Post by: Chuckone on March 28, 2015, 10:21:42 pm

I upgraded the client to 0.8.0. Then, every time I try to open the client, I have this error message "An error occurred while trying to start. Please try restarting the application."

Here what I tried to solve it
- Rename the peer folder in appdata - Didn't work
- Do a backup of the appdata files, delete everything (except backup of course) and uninstall the client. Reboot the computer, re-install the client and try to open it. - Didn't work, client keeps crashing with the same error message.

Is there something else I could try?

Took me a while, but I realized the client was crashing on startup because my anti virus software got in the way.

Disabled it and now it works. I thought it may be useful for those with the same issue.
