[Former user]

Version 2.2.0 finally synched up crashed and now will not load.

If possible please zip up "<user.dir>/.edproxy" and email it to (or attach to this ticket).

edsm api key deleted.

[Weston Boyd]

The problem is with the EDSM local database. You will need to delete the database from <user.dir>/.edproxy/edsm. Once that is done startup Edproxy and it will resync with EDSM. I have a new release coming out soon that hardens the areas around the database to help prevent such corruption.

You mentioned your EDSM API key is deleted. Did you do that, or was it done to you by the defect?

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

I did that, my professional paranoia doesn't let me put those things out in public ;-) I will delete the DB and let you know if it worked.

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

btw. .edproxy/databases/edsm.db, there's no edsm directory there :)

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

Nope that didn't help, still "-1". Now that I think about it, I changed my router firmware before this defect appeared. Perhaps it just needs some ports open or something?

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

btw. it creates new "databases" dir and a 4kb edsm.db inside. Attached.

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

Reinstallation didn't help, so I deleted the .edproxy settings folder in %userprofile% and installed and configured edproxy again. Now its syncing edsm db, we'll see how it fares after that :)

[Michael Werle]

How did you go with this?

[Bartłomiej Fulanty]

@mwerle just go to your %userprofile% folder and delete .edproxy folder. You will lose settings, but it should start working again. At least it did for me.

1. press [Win] + [R]
2. type %userprofile% and press [Enter]
3. locate and delete .edproxy folder

Works fine since.

[Michael Werle]

Ok; thanks for confirming :)
