Aurora Coin Hotfix release 2021.01.2.0 Crashing upon Startup #47

Is this a new fresh install or an upgrade? The thing to check in that case is the folder that contains the wallet file and block chain files (data dir). On windows this can be a bit challenging to find as Windows normally hides these kind of things. Normally it should be in a hidden folder in your users' directory (windows explorer should have a setting to show these hidden files/folders). When you find that folder, look for the file "debug.log". It is a text file that can be opened with any text editor. Scroll all the way to the bottom. The last few lines should indicate why the wallet is crashing. |

Here are the last few lines of the debug.log 2022-01-17T17:38:50Z UpdateTip: new best=85c8684c265a2cc0afd257c002fe673af6363b1657c1547045fe71ffb229cdb5 height=120 version=0x00000001 algo=1 (scrypt) log2_work=26.918865 tx=121 date='2014-01-29T00:42:52Z' progress=0.000008 cache=0.0MiB(56txo) |

This seems pretty normal. No report of why it would crash. Could you remove the debug.log file and the blocks and chainstate folders and restart the program again? When it crashes take the debug.log file and see if you could upload it here on github (file should be not too large). Also check if it crashes at the same block (139 in this case, 138 is the last validated block before crashing) every time. Also, is this a fresh install, or an upgrade? |

Ok so I did what you asked and its now not crashing. This was a fresh install. The program seems to be running fine now. Its been running for several minutes now and hasn't crashed and syncing up. Thank you for the help. |

Ok nevermind after a couple hours it crashed. I tried the same instructions and this time it took seconds to crash. Here are the last few lines of this debug.log 2022-01-20T05:10:33Z UpdateTip: new best=12a3f7790d4291f01895339482d36088b09f040d19621a3ac6c2aaab6a07c489 height=115 version=0x00000001 algo=1 (scrypt) log2_work=26.857982 tx=116 date='2014-01-29T00:34:24Z' progress=0.000008 cache=0.0MiB(115txo) |

Hmmm.... this is strange. we have had very few, if any, problems with installing and running auroracoin 2021.01.2 on windows 10 64-bit. Just some quick thoughts

@BioMike - could this be a peers list issue ? |
|
I doubt that it would be a peer issue. The wallet seems to start fine and starts with syncing. The strange part is that it seems to stop/crash at height 138, in that case the bug is repeatable, which is a good thing. In the past I've encountered a bug that was around that height, but I don't remember the specifics of that (I though that was with block 135, but not sure). Your suggestions could help, but to add to that it would be useful to get some sort of bug/crash report from Windows regarding the crash (Microsoft likes to hide this by default as it is considered "user-unfriendly"). My experience with windows is lacking on how to do this. I'll have to dive into that. |
|
I will see if I can dig through the crash log files of the system. I didnt check the registry yet so still need to do that. |
|
I've got the exact same problems. After it crashes it takes 4-6 trial-starts before it starts and starts syncing again, a few minutes later it crashes again. Here is the end of my log (BTW te log is 9682 KB on disk) /Johan |

Ok, so you seem to be able to progress beyond height 138. I still have no clue on what's going on. This is also on MS Windows? |

Hi Guys! |
|
Looks like the problem was solved somehow, I’m now only 3 years and 27 weeks behind. Btw, I wonder if it is possible to download the database instead of having to sync it all. |
|
A bad peer should normally be kicked from the client, not causing the client to crash. That would be a severe issue if that would happen. This problem seems to be limited to Windows (10?). My plan is to come soon with a new version of the wallet (based on the year-old development code in github), hopefully that fixes this problem as well, but with so little detailed information we have, we can just guess what the problem really is. |
|
Ok, BioMike. edit: never mind, later when I checked progress it was finished! 😀 |
|
When testing the new build binaries last week I was able to sync the windows client in a few hours on an old laptop. @dansperfect, could you try the new version? Is this still an issue? |
The application automatically crashes upon startup on Windows 10. I tried compatability with windows 7 and windows 8 and the program wouldn't even load. When I turned off compatability mode Aurora Coin finally loaded for about 15 seconds then crashed again.
So I do not know whats happening I open the program it begins to load and then it just turns off.
