sorry if this is in the wrong thread: but getting immediate crashes (only on WIN 11; not on my WIN 10 pc) after update, and reinstalled MQ

Please try and follow the instructions on the crash dialog where it says to control+c it so you can paste the details.

Having to transcribe the crashid from a screenshot/snip/photo isn't always easy or convenient

I've been using MacroQuest (VeryVinilla/RedGuides version) for a few months now. Had some issues here and there. Mostly learning stuff. But I started seeing increasing issues as I tried to run a 36 toon raid. I thought I'd try updating Very Vanilla through the Red Guides launcher. Now, none of my toons will launch via MacroQuest.

Does anyone have any information on what might be happening to the best way to debug? Can I roll back to a previous version?

Will be happy to provide more information, but I'm not sure what will be useful.

you probably are launching eq with elevated permissions - but MQ is not allowing you to do that

if you turn on "Toggle Debug Console" it will probably tell you why however
 
You are correct. It made sense because I was running EQ as administrator to get around another issue I had years ago, and I just started running all my clients like that. But now, in response to the error, I've turned that off, and it's still giving me the elevation error. Hopefully it's just something turned on I've forgotten about.

Thank you. I'll update once I've played with it some more.

Ok. It appears that compatibility mode is an issue too. Fingers crossed turning it off doesn't cause issues. I haven't run without compatibility mode in years either.

Ok. Sorry to spam, but it's working again. I had to remove run as admin and all compatibility mode options I had selected. Now, everything is coming up as expected. If those settings were causing issues with MacroQuest, maybe that means some of the other issues I was having will be fixed by this as well.

Thank you so much for the assistance.

awesome dude! glad you're sorted
 
As of this mornings update (20250621), I am unable to launch eq (emu servers) when MQ is running.

Screenshot 2025-06-22 095723.png

If I exit MQ, I am able to launch the game with no issues.
All the way into the game.

Is there any cleanup required on this last MQ update?

Thank you - M

the emu rebuild was entirely just for a plugin rebuild unrelated to MQ as a whole

maybe reboot

Thanks for the suggestion, but the reboot didn't work.
As I seem to be the only one, I tried creating a new directory for MQ and this has worked.
There must have been a corruption in one of the files from the old directorty.
So now I will just have to rebuild my configs, one-by-one. 🤬

Thank you again - M

Why not just copy the config directory?
Unless you are saying that is where the issue is?

Thank you for the suggestion.
Because I can't be sure where the issue is, I have decided to copy the configs over one at a time.
This way I can eliminate any of those as contributing to the problem.

(of course I have some configs also that I'm not using anymore because of changes)
