Hello!

I just released a new debug version. It fixes more stuff and I've added more information in the Messenger Plus Dump.txt file to help me solve the remaining crashes. I was wondering tonight if I should do a new public release but I've decided otherwise... I'm currently working on of the crash problems (one solved, one left) and I need more help from you to completly solve it. If you whish to help please download the following version.

http://207.44.212.108/~admin3/MsgPlusDebug.zip

Make anything you can to make Messenger crash... anything you know that crashed it in the past is good... if you don't see it crash here is what I would like to do: open the C:\MessengerPlus Dump.txt file and do a search for "exception"... if you find anything then please please please, zip the file and send it to me at debug2018@patchou.com . With debug version 2.01.21 I'll be able to fix the problem for sure!

With your help I'll be able to put patchou.com back online early next week and auto-update every one quickly. Thank you for your time!

Patchou.

okay just downloaded.
I'm doing my best to crash plus! and find bugs..
but couldn't find them in .19 and .20
don't think i could find them in .21 but i will do my best.

Same here... Is for once deleberatly trying to crash something/.... hmm lol

got it 5 seconds ago trying my heart out

early next week?
that's when my semester begins...
yah...

downloading now... Thanx for the em@il you sent me

Patchou! Tell me, the remaining crash, under what OS? cuz i really can't get it down under WinXP...

Will try this new version out... The previous debug version (v2.01.20) had more problems than i expect or rather more problems than v2.01.16 as this time round alothough i am not able to restimulate the problem to crash my MSN Messenger like last time, I found new bugs...
Some new bugs i discovered:
1) Chat window will sometimes go heirwire. (Blue screen <for my case it's blue> on the chat box <where incoming messages are displayed>).
2) Crashed my MSN Messenger for no reason. (Error Messages saying that MSN Messenger needs to be shut down etc...)
3) Text formatting of the other party was inaccurate. (ie. A set his font as Comic Sans and red color but I set mine formatting as Tahoma and Navy Blue color and end up A's message is received by me, the messages followed my text format instead of his.

Hope that Patchou will take note of these problems!

Oops.. Forget to include the OS I am running on.
OS: Windows ME with all the latest patch
Messenger Version : ver5.0.0543
Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1

Yeah thanks for the e-mail

It was nice to get a hand writen one cos in the last 48 hrs i have had 66 e-mails ALL from the messenger plus website alerting me of new posts

BTW nice date to release it on (my birthday - is it kind of like my birthday present if it stops crashing MSN?)

Hmm, did yu all get an email? i didn't... email from patchou or what? very odd... [yes, i am an alpha tester, or was...]

Yep, I dont use the old alpha tester list anymore as I have to clean it up to remove people that do not understand that some stuff are private... .

For the crashes, they are all in Windows 98/Me... as I'm mainly running WinXP that's why I ask for assistance because I never had any crash with public relases of MP2 (else you can be sre that I would have never released it).

Patchou

So there is no need for me to download the debug version... unless,...

Yeah, that's what i'll do, i'll try it on WinNT [tho quite the same as XP, but....]


Crash, here i come

Er... I missed last beta (#20), can someone send it to me ? (jpg050@terra.es) I have been collecting all the alphas and betas, so many good moments :') xD

About #19... it made my comp not to start messenger on startup (Although the registry key to run it was there... Patchou mentioned something about Plus making it wait for two or three seconds... perhaps that could be interfering... I'll try in #21.)

Send me beta 20 plz...

if i never had any problems  (crashes or anything, except the black line bug), is there any reason to get the debug versions?? are there any new features or anything else imprtant? am i just fine at 2.01.17?

yep you're fine with it, just wait for the next official release next week .

I tried to crash .21 in all the ways I could Only one more test is remaining, To push the PC off the table  

No exceptions either were found

You're slow, I did it as soon as it updated after the last break

Not spreading it though, else it ridicules Patchou's hard work.

My god - you are talented!

You have everything in here BUT MSN Messenger!!!

It is VERY well coded and i've tried my little crash programs i use for most pissing of my mates, and modded them to crash MsgPlus, well lets just say - "ARRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH CRASH U F**KING PIECE OF S**T!!!!!"

so my say:

IT IS THE STABLE MSN MESSENGER ADD-ON I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!

Got a bug...
Patchou ya mind a 3.0MB Debug file??(Un compressed)

I think I found one...

I have it install and I used the advertise for MsgPlus feature it had installed...

Well he started the file transfer and it I tried to cancel it. It came up with a fatal exception error and it closed - after about 5 min of trying to cancel the transfer...

Strange thing - no dump file that i can see...

I have no problems with Version 2.01.21. Have been using it on my Windows ME system for the past 3 days. Can safely say that fatal bugs like auto sign out after i changed to personalised status and back to online or after getting out of boss protection is fixed as i don't seem to be able to stimulate the problem out again. The previous bugs I mentioned for the Version 2.01.20 is also fixed. Good job Patchou. I and a few friends are looking forward for the official release!

Question: Is there any way which i can backup my personal settings for Messenger Plus? I am quite tired of setting it all over again whenever i reinstall or upgrade my Messenger Plus.

why would plus restart all prefrences if its stored in the registry

unless you talking about upgrading from 1.xx or wat eva its called cant see how it would

Win2k Pro SP1
Intel 56k Ambient Hardware PCI Modem

Tried cleaning the registry...
Did everything

Reinstalled MSNM 5 and then MsgPlus - same small problem again
not so worse though...
just appeared with a small box with a red x in a circle and closed out...

no error message though...

any ideas...

also msn plus has TOTALLY CHRASHED OUT ON MY PC CANT GET INTO MSN HALF THE TIME RIGHT CLICK MENU STILL WORKS BUT WONT OPEN THE MAIN WINDOW ARFTER A WHILE MAYBE THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH EMOPUMP (HTTP://WWW.MESS.BE)
NOW EMO PUMP MENU WONT APPEAR BUT IS STILL RUNNING AND PLUS HAS STOPPED ALTOGETHER GUNNA SEND PATCHOU THE DEBUG

oops sorry held caps key

Wow, it's amazing  ! Patchou, your work is fantastic.

I have no idea too... I have a habit of uninstalling the previous version of MP2 from my system before i do an upgrade. This way, i can ensure that the new files copied are clean and contains only the new files.

I really want those dump files you're talking about... everytime you see an exception in the file, please please, send it (in a zip, yeah I know, the file can get pretty big) to debug2018@patchou.com . I'm planning to release the new public version this week so I gotta correct those problems.

Thanks!
Patchou

here is my dump text only has that one excemption in it tho

I must admit i - i have hade zero problems with msn plus ! since the 1st release - no crashes nuddu - will have a go @ the debug version - & see if we can chance history --- great work to date patchou - things can only get better
