Since last Saturday or Sunday, when I start GEM+  there is no more green button for igor (but only VROC and GPL for the offline) on my workstation.

Is it the same for everybody ?

 

Mine is working fine thanks, so it must be personal :)

In GEM+ it may be worth clicking 'Configure' & checking the path to iGOR.
(I just set mine to an invalid destination & the iGOR button was removed).

Settings are stored in the GEM.INI file, under the [paths] section - although if doing this manually, you may need to be sure as to which instance of that file is used.  Could be under \users\public\public documents for example.

Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks Dave !

It seems my igor.exe doesn't exist anymore ... I can't find it !

Maybe your AV has quarantined it, as a suspicious executable with irc capability?

Cheers,
Dave.

I use the same AV since one year and never had troubles with it and iGOR ! (Maybe, the last update caused this error ?)

Yesterday evening, I re-installed GEM+ but when I click on iGOR, I got an error message (not helpful) from GEM+  and igor.exe is automatically deleted.
VROC and GPL offline are working fine. 

IMO this can only be the AV...

My avira has the possibility to look for events, there you should find the igor.exe  ::)

I had this happen to me several months ago (AVG).  There is an exceptions/Exclude option from one of the menus and I simple added the path to the executable there and no problems since.

TTFN

I have McAfee installed on my PC since I bought it.
It is free for one year (ending october 2018), so I will probably use Avast free version (this was the one I used with my previous PC)

I will try to exclude igor.exe from McAfee.

For information, the message sent by GEM+ is :
An error has occured from which GEM+ cannot recover.
When you click the OK button a file will be created containing information to help solve the fault.

In the file created, I can only see the contents of the different C:/Sierra directories

Thank you, Dave, Axel and John.

You were right and McAfee put iGOR.exe in Quarantine since 4 days (although McAfee is running since one year on my PC without issues)

Thanks again !  :clap:

David,

Can you tell me how you fixed this.

I have McAfee on my PC. I pay for it as part of the ISP package.

I have restored IGOR from Quarantine 5 times. Every time I re-open GEM & click on IGOR I get the same error message & the AV has quarantined it again. I really hate computers at times!

Hi Billy

You have to go to McAfee main menu
then click on the icon for parameters

then select "on-line analysis" (in my french version, it is "Analyse en temps réel")

then files to be excluded (= "Fichiers exclus)

click on the button  "add a file"   

Spent an hour fiddling around with every combination I can think of. Give up.
UPDATE - I was looking in the wrong part of the AV control panel. Now have IGOR running.

According to GPLracer, we have to change the file igor.ini and replace the old value of IP by

[ RaceListServers ]
IP = igor.gplrank.info

Thanks for the tip; the racelist lives!

Cheers,
Dave.

Due to my son hogging the computer I've swapped things around at home & now using a different PC for GPL. The game install runs well but I cannot seem to access IGOR. The debug message reads "*** Error Message ***
Invalid procedure call or argument in btnIgorClick"
I have changed the AV settings but that hasn't helped. Any ideas?

have you changed the IP in the iGOR.ini?

should be

[ RaceListServers ]
IP                        = igor.gplrank.info

Yes Cookie, I have tried that.

does this error message is from GEM or iGOR?

Tried to start the iGOR.exe?

I have tried starting Igor from GEM & also from IGOR.exe - both have the same result.

The error is taken from a "GEM+ Fatal Error Debug Information." report.

I've had a look at the Core.ini file but it looks ok.

Try to rename or move the igor.ini and let igor.exe build a new one.

If this does not work, make a new Gem install to a place where W10 has no total control of it...

Tried that - still not working. IGOR still works on the other PC & I can join races by the IP but rather annoying that I cannot get it to work on my PC.

Problem finally solved. I had to allow igor to bypass McAfee AV in two different functions. Still seems to be a problem accessing any of the chat forums apart from #gpl, but have got access to race servers.

OMG McAff

I never had any problem with free avira...
