Hi Simaan3, are you starting HB before you load your Character?

 

No, I log on wow then after i log in i start hb @ahempo

 

no i log on my character then i start hb

 

I'm logged in my character atm but once i start up honorbuddy, it just goes straight to an error

 

Ok, quit out of WOW and use the HB launcher to start WOW, login your character and then login HB

 

It didn't work as soon as i set it to open with wow launcher it just gave me the error again and closed

 

I can confirm this, I'm having the same problem

 

I'm having a hard time fixing this issue, if anyone can give some advice because I'm leaving in an hour to go eat and I would like it to quest for me till i get back

 

Try downloading an old version of HB and letting it update automatically or you can try the latest beta version to keep you going until it is fixed.

Releases

 

It is still not working i download the 2012 version of c++ or what ever and still no progress =(

 

Have you tried a different character?

 

yes

 

try clearing your settings folder

 

I think its gonna work, its updating, thank you =)

 

Thats good to hear

 

Nevermind now when i open it, it lets me log on but then it just stops responding and it closes, ill fix it when i get back, keep posting ways to fix it if u can tho, please and thanks

 

Can you attach an updated log with the new issue
