Problem - Visual Studio "Internal compiler error" after long break from the game, one potential fix.

[Drallin]

Hello!

I'm mostly posting this because I had googled to try to find the solution, and couldn't find one, so hoping google will find this thread, and it'll pop up for other people!

I had quit for about a year, and when I came back, I updated macroquest, and got "internal compiler error" complaints repeatedly in the same place (I think it was in auto login). After poking a few things (re-downloads of mq), I eventually was going to uninstall visual studio and reinstall it, but found an "update install" button in the visual studio installer. It turns out, my compiler was about 2 years out of date, and updating the compiler got mq to compile.

So yeah, returning people, do that first

just to reiterate, any time you see an "internal compiler error" message, you hit a compiler bug. whenever you see this always check for updates.
