ANSWERED Eddie is weirdly stucked

[Moth666 0]

Hello everyone,
 

I have a weird problem with Eddie, I cannot connect to any server anymore. It worked for months on Windows 11 till now.
 

From now on :

• Eddie is set to connect at startup, but it doesn't seem to try to connect to the servers. If I click on “Connect to a recommended server”, it doesn’t do anything at all, just as if I hadn't clicked.
• I cannot close Eddie, when I close I get the confirmation window, I click “Yes”, then  the confirmation window close, but Eddie doesn’t close. I must use the Windows task manager to quit.
• I cannot change the settings, because if I try to change them, the setting window get stucked. I must then use the Windows task manager to quit.

 

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, disabling my antivirus, using Malwarebyte scan, it doesn’t change anything.
 

I tried to delete the Eddie folder in Appdata. Then, after lauching Eddie, it ask for my login, then Eddie is stucked in neverending “Checking login”.

I tried disabling my ethernet connection in Windows network setting before launching Eddie. Of course Eddie can’t connect to the servers, but Eddie is no longer weirdly stucked and I can quit/change the settings properly. Eddie is again stucked if I launch it with internet connection.
 

Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

Please try again to delete the following file. Make sure that Eddie is NOT running when you do it. Check with the Task Manager.
C:\Users\tmth\AppData\Local\Eddie\default.profile
Then re-start Eddie.

The symptoms all hint to a corrupt configuration file but if the problem persists even after you have deleted that file (Eddie rebuilds a new one with default settings if the file is not found) please consider to send a complete system report:

Kind regards

I tried to start Eddie while disconnected to internet, then reconnect while Eddie is running.

It worked, but not at first, I don't know why.

The issue seems to be solved.
