Bitcomet versions after 1.59 crashes

[Cubor 0]

Hey guys, 

I have 2 problem, one is rather important and the other, i think i can handle. I need help anyway 🙂

1- This is important one: I am using ver1.59 still. Because newer versions are crashing when the app runs.

I can install any versions including 1.73. It runs. Holding at the screen for a few seconds then vansihes. If I want to rerun it then same thing happens. But in ver1.59, I have no problem and it works smoothly. 

From previous posts I saw that, active torrent number might be a problem. I have 35 active torrents. I think its not a big number but who knows? BTW, I really tried every version between 1.59-1.73 🙂 Yeah all of them crashes. Also I tried some older versions and no, they dont crashes. So everything started with 1.6

I forgot to tell, I am using windows 10.

 

2- Yesterday I encountered with a new problem: Windows defender decide to delete my bitcomet exe file. I already had an exception on my windows firewall, and now I put another exception on defender and reinstall VER1.59 and it works for now. I am not sure it will happen again or not. So any ideas on that I appreciate 🙂

 

Cheers everyone and a happy and healthy new year.

Thanks for pointing out but I already read it long time ago, I am using only windows' defender and it was deactivated on all of my reinstallings of new versions.

So it should be something else or I am doing something wrong. ( I am just turning off real time protection on defender before install a new version)

So my first problem maybe because of another issue?

Also, about my second question, bitcomet was already installed and were running for a lot of time (like months), and defender decided to erase only exe file even without a new windows update.

So still looking for answers to use newer versions. I appreciate any other ideas.

Turn it off before installing (the software used for the bundled apps triggers the A.V). Onceinstalled, I always set the download folder to 'excluded' as some keygens also trip the A/V

Defender is a stand alone app - it doesn't depend on main Windows updates but does its own updating (usually un-noticed) and can hit .exe files if it thinks they will alter the contents of the registry

Hmm actualy I told that I did all of your recommendations. But after your second post I tried again. Result is the same. 

Here what I did:

1- Downloaded 1.68 to my excluded folder. (I picked the version randomly)

2- I opened Antivirus settings on defender and turned off Real Time Protection

3- I installed the v1.68 while realtime protection is still off. 

4- I run the v1.68 autmatically after install while realtime protection is still off. 

5- Bitcomet opened.

6- Stayed on my screen like 2 seconds then it closed.

7- I tried to run it again still real time protection is off but same result. 

8- I installed v1.59 and everything is super. 

Well I am not a coder or know anything about it. But if I can run all the versions untill 1.59 and I cant run any one after this one, I am assuming you changed something after 1.6. I have no idea what it might be. 

Maybe you guys can figure it out 🙂

Again thanks for your help but waiting for further advices. 

edit: I forgot to tell, that I put bitcomet.exe file to the exception list on defender.

Any other advice on subject?

I'm running 1.73 here on W10 (well the Dev version of W 10 Pro - think 'unstable') and the only problem I've been able to reproduce in previous versions was a failure to delete files from the app itself.

Setting the main ap .exe file to 'excluded' won't fix any problems (the only reason I set it at all on the download folder is that Adawara (and Defender) tend to delete any keygens which may be bundled). Running setup with A/V off is because the A/V software gets indigestion with the bundled software.

You may have a problem with your W 10 installation (that's been known to happen) and the only 'cure' is to back everything up, re-format and re-install but

 you could try a clean install - that entails removing all the backup files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcomet (it's a hidden folder so you need to switch on 'show hidden files and folders' in the 'View' option). Use Revo Uninstaller to completely clean everything out and try a reinstall. If that still fails, then it's time to 'format C:'
