Build 213 issues

Is anyone having issues with the latest version, build 213? I run custom indicators which I have never had a problem with on any previous version over the years, but all of a sudden the updated version is consistently crashing, some platforms, also updated, won't even open! This is what one of the error messages looks like:

sounds like your update may be corrupted. I would copy all of your indicators, templates, and profiles to another directory, reinstall mt4 then copy all of your indicators back to see if the problem still exists.

I updated half my platforms over the weekend. 2 out of 7 showed the same type of errors. I'm sure it is probably a poorly written indicator or something like that. The point is the same platforms ran 24 hours a day with no problem before the update. I am not going to update the rest of mine until a new build comes out. It looks like others are finding problems. See MetaQuotes.

Looks like there also may be some history problems. See MQL4. Does anyone else have these types of problems?

MetaQuotes has just released a second, Fixed, (hopefully), build 213 of MetaTrader software. It is dated March 25th.. It is available for download from the thread at the link in my previous post. It seems to work fine for me so far. I am loading some of the same stuff on it that crashed before. No problems yet but a very short test so far.

I talked to IBFX and their tech department will decide about a patched version update during business hours.

Edit Update: One of the old profiles I copied over to the new platform crashed. I had also copied the experts folder and sub-folders over. The latest cause of the crash was an expert that had been compiled using the original b213. After re-compiling anything from the last few days all profiles are working. I'll see if it can make it the rest of the week.

b215 is up on the MetaQuotes web site now. The broker versions should be out soon. This should fix the last of the b213 problems for those of us with problems. MetaQuotes notes on b215 are:
