Older versions of Doom Builder 2

Recommended Posts

Hi, I stupidly updated my Doom Builder 2 and now my computer puts up an exception when I try to run it. I get an "unhandled exception" error relating to "effect display2d.fx".

Does anyone have an older version of DB2 that they can email me? Or is DB1 still worth using?

The rather lengthy error details are:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I would suggest that you go to
http://www.doombuilder.com/index.php?p=downloads
and download r1553 and install it into it's own folder, eg DB2r1553.
But, note, that you must have a connection to the internet open during the install process.

After that, you can download and simply unzip any newer versions, but again, into a dedicated folder.
For easy access, I always create a shortcut for the desktop.

Each newly installed version will use the configuration file created by an earlier version.
So, if you changed anything to your liking, these changes are then retained.

Every time DB2 is opened, a log file is created in

C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Doom Builder\ for Windows Vista or Windows 7
C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Local Settings\Application Data\Doom Builder\ for Windows XP

which would give clues when something goes wrong.

[edit]
If you want to install r1553, then it would be best if you uninstalled the old installation through Control Panel - Programs first.

Hi everyone, thanks for all the support. After completely getting rid of the old and new DB2, then reinstalling the version of DB found at GreyGhost's link into a new folder with a different name, it is now up and running once more. Thanks everyone and thanks for the link GG, I couldn't find one anywhere :)
