Wrye Bash refuses to start

Post » Thu Jun 10, 2010 3:54 am

After playing Oblivion for some time did Wrye bash suddenly decide to go wrong on me.

While playing oblivion did it crash and I had to restart the whole PC, not a problem in itself.

But now does Wrye bash refuse to load up.

I wonder now if anyone can help me with the problem.

edit:

I also reinstalled it and updated it again.

Follow the instructions in the ReadMe, if they don't fix your issue then post a query in the Wrye Bash thread.

I had the same issue a while ago and it was solved by this:

Look for pidfile.tmp (or something similarly named) in the Mopy directory. Delete it, and Bash should start.

Bash uses that file to prevent you from opening multiple instances of Bash. It's created when Bash is started, and deleted when Bash exits. If Bash crashes, or you forcibly close Bash, the file remains behind. Depending on your luck*, Bash may not start again until you delete it.

*it actually depends on what process id your operating system assigns to the new Bash instance...
