Eddie Desktop 2.19beta released

[iwih2gk 93]

2.19.2 running slick on Buster!! Thanks for jumping on this.

[bluesjunior 42]

At present on my Windows 10 PC I am running the 2.18.9 version of AirVPN with the OpenVPN 2.5 git 1607 version and the Wintun TAP Windows 9.24.2 adapter and all is well in fact better than well as the Wintun adapter has more than doubled my download speed. Ever since beginning with AirVPN around 5-6 yrs ago I like to keep up to date and have always installed the experimental versions after checking that they worked fine for other players. I see that there is a v 2.19.2 version of AirVPN available and also an Open VPN gui update to v11.15.0.0  Previously when updating AirVPN I just downloaded it from the experimental option here and did a clean install and the TAP adapter usually installed after a restart of my OS, but as I had to install the OpenVPN v 2.5 in order to use the Wintun adapter for v2.18.9 do I need to follow a different procedure or should I just instal v2.19.2 as I have previously done as I don't want to risk losing my upgraded download speed?.

@bluesjunior

According to your report you can safely stay with Eddie 2.18.9. Since  you are just fine with 2.18.9 you have no real incentive to start beta testing as there is no performance improvement with 2.19.2.

Check anyway the bug fixes on the changelog. Should one of those bugs become a problem for you at any time, then you should consider to upgrade.

Kind regards

I have an odd problem running 2.19.2 with Wintun on Windows 10.  When I cold boot my PC the Eddie Elevation Service doesn't start, so the client hangs at the splash screen with the message about connecting to the service.  If I try to start the service manually from services.msc then the Windows error message pops up about the service "...started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".  Everything else works ok, and there are no suspicious event log messages.

The weird part is that if I restart rather than cold boot, everything is fine.  Any ideas before I revert back to 2.18?

Someone, somewhere on the forums suggested to disable Fast Startup.

One test, one success, hopefully it stays fixed.  Thanks giganerd.

I updated to 2.18.9 from the latest stable version with which i never had a problem. I'm on Win 10.
As soon as i started the new version it stuck on Ipv6 check, so i switched on WAN Ipv6 on the Access Data/Internet Connection on my router which i assume helps with Ipv6 stuff (never had to worry about this setting before). That surprisingly solved the problem.
Then i switched off the pc and i switched it on again today. Oddly i found myself connected to a vpn server without actually starting Eddie. (i realized that looking up at my ip)
I noticed there was Eddie-Service-Elevated.exe in execution in Activity Manager, which i don't know what is for, i also noticed OpenVpn Daemon was in execution; so i ran Eddie Ui from the desktop link and the splash screen stucked, i terminated the application and tried again, and this time it showed the Unable to obtain elevated privileges, Unable to start warning window.
So i disabled Fast StartUp and deleted the AppData\Local\Eddie\default.profile file as suggested, downloaded the latest version 2.19.2 because i saw in the changelog this [bugfix] - Special condition elevation checks (may resolve "Unable to start (no-socket)" issues). , i ran it and it seems to work fine for now.
Any idea what happened?

A feature suggestion, it would be nice to be able to see what datacenter/provider a server is hosted in on the server list.

[X7iGmXYQBrnz 1]

One minor change please - can the tooltip on the systray icon show the connection status ("Connecting to...") like previous versions, rather than the UL/DL speed.  It saves me opening the GUI while I wait impatiently for it to connect at startup.

manjaro plasma 5 eddie portable 2.19.2 works fine

[hanswurst77 1]

on linux mint 19.3 cinnamon, i had no issues installing and running this version. however, the issue i reported here, still persists. i then reinstalled version 2.18.9, and after manually launching it, the latency tests ran fine. i then rebooted my machine, and there the problem was again. so, it seems that the problem only occurs when eddie is set to launch and connect automatically after booting.
edit: in the log, the test with the beta-version starts at 13:02 o'clock.

I just tried 2.19.3 (Catalina Version) on macOS 10.15.5 - it failed to open, only message I got was "Eddie is broken"
I'm back on 2.19.2 which runs

[Monotremata 22]

The Catalina 2.19.3 update was trouble free here (just got a new Mac mini w/10.15.5 last Thursday). Connected to Groombridge as I type and its smooth sailing!

Hi, how did you solve it? If I hit "Download" (MacOS) nothing happens or it just loads a html file.

Hello.
After you select experimental you have to choose between macOS Catalina or macOS pre-Catalina. Please take a look at the attached photo.

Hi,

I'm running Eddie 2.19.3 beta on Windows 10 64 bit. All seems to be good, except after some amount of time the speed display becomes frozen in both the Overview display panel and the Speed display panel. Restarting Eddie makes it work again, but it always freezes later. Apart from the frozen speed display, Eddie seems to run fine. This was also happening in 2.19.2. I can supply logs if needed.

Can you provide the exact message error?

During development, sometimes we encounter a mystic "error -47", but it can't be related to Eddie because it disappears with a reboot. Still under investigation.

Yes thanks, if it is reproducible, enable in Preferences -> Logs both 'Log Debug' and 'Log on File'. Here or open a ticket if you prefer, thanks.

This was an already resolved bug, does it still occur in 2.19.3?

It is just a small window that pops up with one option - to klick "ok". All it says is ""Eddie" is broken and can not be opened - downloaded with Brave at hh:mm"
