Build 196 frequent crashes...

So MT auto-updated itself to build 196. Since then MT crashes easily at least 3 times a day. Anyone else encountered such problems? I was thinking to submit a bug report but I can't replicate it, it's too random...

Whoa! Glad I read that before starting up MT4.
Just cancelled AutoUpdate.

I have been running it all weekend with lots of start/stops and backtesting and fiddling around. Hasn't crashed once.

Thanks, it looks like the problem is here only. I'll reinstall if needed...

Ok, to make sure noone else will spend an hour to find out why new update crashes... If someone is using ALLMINUTES ea (http://articles.mql4.com/136) then make sure you erase your allminutes related history data then restart.

After a period of stability it started crashing again, I reinstalled but nothing helps. In the meantime does someone in here has by any chance a previous build? Like 195 or 194?

Thanks in advance.

Been running MT4 with auto updates, no crashes at all. Platform runs 24/5.

I am having these problems too. However I have no ALLMINUTES ea in test. How about Firebird ea that I have? How do you clear history data for any specific ea?

Thanks,

It appears that MT4 crashed during the US Trade Balance announcement across all users due to a problem with the feed from Currenex.

I am in the middle of mitigating the huge loss I took on the trade.

People it seems there were enough critical bugs in the 196 build that a new one followed shortly. Here's the announcement and the link: http://www.metaquotes.net/forum/2311/

I for one will not upgrade anymore and stick with build 193 until the the server will force me to upgrade Now that's an attitude LOL

Yep same here soso, crashes perhaps 2 to 3 times a day for me also, not a fan of live updates ... always makes me nervous!
You can quit and they won't care, but you will always know.

The crashes may be due to a bad indicator(s) on your charts. Try removing custom ones to see if that helps.

I would not blame indicators. All happened just after the update. I also had a 197 build update, but problems did not disappear. It is that update.

Software crashes if you try to open object or indicators list.
