Hello.
I'm using the latest public preview WACUP_Preview_v1_99_22_20202_x86 and I have a weird problem.
I have the repeat on and I deleted the latest track I heard yesterday (but don't remember wich it was).
Now every time I open WACUP tries to open and force closes immediately.
What can I do to bypass this problem?
I've already backuped the settings but I'm afraid when reinstalling and reverting to my settings it will happen the same.
Please help me. I don't want to start it from fresh!

Thanks in advance!

Can you not restore the removed file then start it normally & turn repeat off? Also is it repeat all or repeat track that you've enabled as well as what skin are you using? If you're not able to restore the file you could try opening the winamp.ini in the wacup settings folder & remove the repeat= line & then try again (though I can't remember if that'll help if a modern style skin is being used).

Not that it should be able to crash in such a scenario but based on the wording of things I've got to assume it's not triggering my crash reporter (if possible running wacup.exe /procdump once before trying to edit the winamp.ini file would be helpful to try to get a crash report so I can try to resolve whatever is going wrong here).

I've already restored the song but it keeps closing. As I can remember the last song I played was problematic that I have just downloaded and after closing WACUP I deleted the folder.
I'm not sure which repeat was but i think with classic skin only the ''repeat all'' is triggered with the button. Am I wrong?
I've tried editing the .ini file and disabling the repeat but still no luck. Can I maybe with the .ini file change the last state. I mean I closed WACUP trying to play a problematic song and when reopening it tries to continue from there . Can I make it to open stopped?
Please explain to me how to run "wacup.exe /procdump" command and maybe get a bug report.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if it will help, but you can try changing the song in the playlist editor that WACUP tries to start with. Edit the "winamp.ini" file's "pilp=" parameter's value in the "[Winamp]" section to one less than the position in the playlist of the song you want to start with. For example, set the value to 9 if you want to start with the 10th song.

If you are using the Time Restore & AutoPlay plug-in (gen_timerestore.dll), also change the "track=" parameter's value in the "winamp.ini" file's "[Time Restore & AutoPlay]" section to the same value.

Thanks for your answer and your time!
I've tried exactly what you proposed but with no luck. Still not loading so I decided, because I can't leave anymore without WACUP,  to do a fresh start. Lucky me I found a backup with most of my settings but I've lost all other data.
