Skin issues

Postby vaporhat on Fri Apr 23, 2010 7:21 am

Somehow my skin has been corrupted? My default skin and others work fine, but my main skin has become very CPU intensive after an update. Although even once I go back to an older version I am still having this problem. But only with my main skin.

Default works fine.

My main skin loads up fine, although will become unresponsive and "think" for a long time about every command. It will eventually do it but takes a while. Even trying to switch tabs in the Alt F2 menu it will hang and my CPU gets pegged.

Any ideas?

One of the last things I was working on in my skin was adding a large photo database.. although I went back and deleted that database and still having issues.

Just a thought....

Try deleting your plugins and restarting Xlobby.

I have seen this before, and then narrowed it down to the offending plugin.

Again, just a WAG ......

deleting my plugins didn't work so I went ahead and reinstalled XL. Copied back my skin and all is good.

Something must of happened during my latest update and could not be reversed by installing a later version.

All fine now..

Glad to hear it!

Nothing like a fresh and uncorrupted backup file!
