Bodog crashing
 

So bodog has started crashing consistently when I open up a table. Usually shortly after I open a table. I start dogwatch first, then PAHud, then bodog, then I open a table and then it crashes and I get this error message:

< Buffer overrun detected!
<
< Program: C:\Program Files\Bodog Poker\BPGame.exe
<
< A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's
< internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must
< now be terminated.

I have not downloaded the new version of bodog as I've only heard bad things about it. I've been playing on bodog for a long time now and never had this problem before. I restarted my computer after bodog crashed twice, and tried it again and it crashed almost immediately after I opened the first table. Any thoughts appreciated.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

Problem started Wednesday afternoon for me. It's essentially the same as you describe except I can often play for a while before it happens. It's not related to opening a new table. I have Windows XP Pro.

Note that the title of the popup window is "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".

We just passed the second Tuesday of the month which is Microsoft patch distribution day. My wife was very suspicious of KB943460 which I had installed. I agree that the description looks really suspicious but uninstalling it didn't help.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

Thanks for the reply. That's interesting.

Come to think of it, the first time I got this error/crash might well have been Tuesday. I definitely had it happen yesterday, but I was able to play for a while then. Today it was consistently crashing pretty quickly after starting bodog.

I just played about 100 hands without using dogwatch and it was fine. Anyway, not being able to keep track of/import hands is really annoying. I am running XP home edition if it makes any difference.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

I uninstalled KB943460 and re-installed dogwatch. It seems to be working now.

Also, this needs to NOT happen when I flop a set, smoothcall a LAG's flop c/r, and am about to put him allin on the turn.

Are you guys running holdem manager while playing? I tried playing without it running and it hasn't done it since (only a few hours so far though)

This runtime error shutdown thingy is killing me. Happening on both computers.

How would one uninstall KB943.. for a computer noobie. Thanks.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

What the hell does this mean? This happened when I tried to download the new and old version.

Settings => Control Panel => Add or Remove Programs

1. Click checkbox at top "Show updates".

2. Search through the security updates until you find KB943460.

3. Note "Installed On" date for this patch and compare it with when your problem started.

4. Select the upgrade and uninstall it at your own risk.

Note 1: Uninstalling didn't help me at all.

Note 2: This is a very important patch that fixes a dangerous security hole.

5. Trip reports, please! Can anyone who never accepted the patch confirm that they have the problem? FYI many PCs are configured to automatically accept security upgrades with no user participation. If you are unwilling/unable to pay attention that's probably a good idea even if it might have backfired this time.

I just unistalled. I haven't played yet by it hasn't crashed while watching so I think I am good to go. Stellar, you just go ahead and find a new site. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Bodog crashing
 

I uninstalled that security update, but the Bodog client still crashes if dogwatch is running.

So it worked fine last night but then today it was back to the shut downs again. Very depressing.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

I made a full spyware check on my system, Spybot has deleted around 40-50 suspicous items. Since that the Bodog client seems to be more stable, only 1 crash in 1 day.

Re: Bodog crashing
 

so what is the answer? it bombed probably 10 times for me yesterday. Run a spyware check? It actually saved me 200 bucks though as I had A8 on a A86 flop, software crashed, came back and I was folded just after AK got it in with 66 [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Bodog crashing
 

It has just started to generate the crashes again.:( Have no idea what can be the problem.

Does this link not exist anymore?
edit: I think bodog is just down completely. I can't get the software to work and all of their webpages do not work.
