ChrisH Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I updated my home server to BTSync 1.4 and the app just crashes on startup. I clicked "submit a dump to developers" but then it just crashes again.Thankfully I could recover the config files from their .old versions and use the old 1.3.109 exe again. Any ideas what to do? I really don't want to wipe the config and recreate all 40 shared folders and their keys and their options (named hosts etc.) by hand... On my laptop (with only two shared folders) the update went fine, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 A couple of questions for you; on which OS is Sync 1.4 crashing for? ...and are there any Sync 1.2 clients in your mesh? (there was a know issue where the presence of 1.2 clients in a 1.4 mesh could cause 1.4 clients to crash) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, sorry - should have mentioned the OS. It's Windows Server 2012 (not R2).I don't think there are any 1.2 clients, but I'll check. There might be 1.3.pre-109 (or whatever the update with the compatibility issue in the release notes was) clients, though.But I don't think it even has time to connect to any peer. It's literally "double-click - crash". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisH Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 For the record: This seems to be caused by http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/31290-not-possible-to-make-bt-sync-portable-anymore/ - I was running BTSync as a "portable" installation on a Bitlocker drive, which seems no longer to work. I'll try symlinking the directory from %appdata% to the Bitlocker drive or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
