I just tried to run the game from GoG after a long time of not playing. GoG had automatically updated it to 1.5.5. After loading the main menu, I just get constant error popups, so I can't do anything. I have trouble even hitting Quit fast enough after clearing the errors. I'm running Windows 10. I tried a clean reinstall, tried disabling Ashes (I have no other add-ons or expansions installed), but nothing helped. I didn't have any trouble with earlier versions, and I just want to play again. What can I do?
All the errors looked like this, with some minor variations:
Code: Select all
error = "Lua Error: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:322: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:295: /engine/interface/ActorTalents.lua:157: attempt to call field 'logNewest' (a nil value)\

seen = true
reported = true
Edit: I tried again to reinstall, and this time I completely wiped the previous install, including user information. Then when I started it, the errors didn't occur, and I was able to relink my account. I have no idea what all those errors were about, but I'll leave this here in case it happens to anyone else. My best guess is that it had something to do with my account having a character created in an earlier version, but I really don't know. I'm just going to start a new character anyway.
