Hello,

The latest 1.6.4 beta is breaks the game in the way that it will not start anymore. The last lines printed are:

Luckily, the exception is triggered in the updater and it is possible to skip the updater by launching with:

Pandora --no-update

... and then the game will launch.

I have experienced this problem on both on my computers, so it is unlikely to be a random installation corruption or so.

OS would be interesting and wether it's steam or not.

It is under Linux and not under Steam.

Do you have boost 1.58 installed?

The Binaries directory of the game currently looks like this:

So it looks like the game is using libboost v1.56, but the removal of v1.52 seems incomplete.

I am also getting:

@Tanaka: Your issue sounds completely different from that. This sounds like the Agent0-2.xml is from an older version. Do you have a mod or something like that installed that may override the these files?

No mods I uninstalled game and reinstalled Pandora and Expansion and your patch and I get same error.

I am also using an AMD card

If you’re still stuck on this, maybe you should try the suggestion I posted here:
viewtopic.php?f=173&t=69601#p587320

Thanks I found the cache folder but where is the temp folder?

This should be fixed with 1.6.5. Are you still having issues?

Ok I deleted the data folder and updated to 1.6.5. I still get this error on launch:

Ok you guys were right it was a mod I had. I deleted the data folder I had in "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Proxy Studios\Pandora\" and the game loads now. Thanks!
