Everest closing on its own

[harsh python]

Hi, I don't know if anyone else has had this problem or if there is a solution to this problem, but what's happening is: Most of the time when I start Everest, it stops responding and closes, without any error message so I can identify what's happening. This has happened on 2 computers that I've had, and I didn't look for a solution at first because my old computer wasn't the best, so I attributed the problem to "my computer can't handle that much", but I currently have another computer with the exact same problem, so I wanted to know if there's a solution for this, if anyone has experienced this.

by "Everest" you mean olympus (the app you showed) right?

switch to the "Development" updates in options to see if this still persists, otherwise in window's event viewer check if there are any logs about it

[harsh python]

Yes, it persists, and the log is "log-sharp"? The file with only "log" in the name is empty.

youd need to manually reinstall olympus because the lua dependencies arent installed afaik

this is the known cursed luajit crash, i'm 99% sure

[icy needle]

so basically, reinstall olympus manually

In some cases, Olympus fails to check for updates, meaning you'll need to perform the update yourself.
Here's the steps explaining how to do so:

• Download the latest Olympus stable build. You can find it here.
• Open the zip file you just downloaded. Go to the folder inside it, and open the dist.zip inside.
  • Those are the new Olympus files.
• Press Windows+R. Type in %appdata%\Olympus and press Enter.
  • If you do not have a Windows key, right click the Start logo, and click on "Run".
  • Those are the old Olympus files.
• Delete all the old Olympus files, and replace them with the new Olympus files.
• Launch Olympus.
  The update should now be complete. You can verify that by clicking on "Options & Updates".

oh what

missed that one

[icy needle]

yeah only olympus.love is i think

[harsh python]

SOLVED. Thank you very much for your help, I had this problem for a long time, I really appreciate it

[harsh python]

thanks @smoky dragon @icy needle

[icy needle]

yeah the technical details are really convoluted but basically something in the ui is corrupting the entire state of olympus when you move your mouse while olympus is busy for some reason which makes it hard crash

and we noticed downgrading to a previous version of luajit stopped the crash

[harsh python]

Wow, I didn't know this kind of error was possible. Live and learn.

[icy needle]

neither did we

since we still do not understand why it happens
