StreamFab for Windows StreamFab 6.2.4.7 Continually Crashes

[littlebluealien]

Guys, I need your help.

I installed the latest version 6.2.4.8 and have found it so buggy that I decided to do a clean uninstall and reinstalled 6.2.4.7. But ever since I've reinstalled 6.2.4.7, every time I try to open the Amazon Prime module, it crashes 6.2.4.7 completely.

What's going on?

The same thing happened to me with 6247 after I used 6248 for HBO Max ..
.. I copied all the 6247 files from my backup, but nothing changed.

A new temp folder (autocreated by SF after rename the old) worked for me - see also here

Germania, quick question .. Do you wear a cape? Coz you certainly swoop in to the rescue like Superman lol. That [was] a compliment.

Well misery loves company, so I was actually mighty relieved to read that you experienced the exact same issue after uninstalling the dreadful 6.2.4.8! Made me realise the issue [was] the new update and nothing I was doing .. ANYWAY, the reason for this is to say I've fixed it! I might not be as tech savy as most on this forum, but I will certainly not let something like this beat me without giving it a good go at resolving it.

I used (as normal) Revo Uninstaller to remove 6.2.4.7 and then followed the removal with a Forced uninstall (again through Revo), making sure anything StreamFab was completely gone from my pc. Restarted the pc and did a fresh install of 6.2.4.7 after redownloading it from my DVDFab extended download service. All personal settings were gone. I had to reauthorize the new installation. This resolved the issue, so Wilson.Wang, there is a serious problem with the latest update 6.2.4.8. It's bugged out and this needs serious attention as it's affecting installs of previous versions from working.

But again, as previously said, THANK YOU Germania. You. Are. Greatly. Appreciated!

By so many of us.

Anecdotally, on Windows, I find *installing* the app (with offline installer) as admin works better than trying to run as admin after the fact, when there are oddball write permission issues. In my case I also create my own temp/cache directory which I then point SF at, so it can create dependencies but not the root folder for this stuff. Probably nothing to do with your troubles, but this works for me.

Another thing that breaks when running as an administrator is that you cannot use SMB shares that have been mapped as a network drive. SF simply doesn't see them.

jpp72 simchris Firstly thank you guys for your support and input -seriously appreciated and gratefully received. Just to clear up the Admin thing -the ONLY REASON I got into the habit of 'running as Admin' was due to "tech support" responses to tickets I've raised with them on occasion and their insistence that I run StreamFab as Admin to resolve issues being experienced. But as another post of mine pointed out, it soon became apparent that their insistence to "run as Admin" seemed to be the 'fix' for [all] issues being experienced rather than them doing proper support and feedback to the Dev. I'm now NOT running as Admin. 6.2.4.7 is working fine again since the reinstall, but 6.2.4.8 just will not allow me to use the Amazon module -it just will not load and open correctly. I'm sticking with 4.7 and waiting on the next update.
