Mumble crashing when loading non-included DLLs about mumble HOT 7 CLOSED

Also, it may be worth it to note that the name change/removal of cs.dll doesn't actually seem to remove it, as it is still listed under the plugin list. Nor does changing my plugin name to cs.dll cause it to show up under the plugin list. Mumble also seems to function fine aside from opening the settings.

EDIT: The plugin also functions, it's only the settings screen that causes any crashing.

A friend and I are experiencing the same problem. I believe that the plug-in is not loading in the reporter's description but rather mumble is re-downloading the original plug-in and overwriting the user's plugin (when the name is set to one of the stock plugin names).

I am also on Windows 8 running mumble 1.2.4. A friend experiences the same crash, I am uncertain what his mumble version / OS version are.

Mumble's Windows builds are built with MSVC10 (Visual Studio 2010), with the Windows 7 SDK. To ensure 100% C++ ABI compatibility, you should use the same compiler - otherwise you will most likely get crashes like is described here. :-)

Can you confirm that using MSVC10 fixes the issue for you? Also, as Micah points out, if you call your plugin 'cs.dll', Mumble is probably using its own 'cs.dll' (either by re-downloading, or by using the one distributed with hte installer) rather than yours.

I'm using MSVC10 as my IDE and using the most recent Windows SDK (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh852363.aspx). I'll try to compile it with the Windows 7 SDK when I get home to check. Thanks for replying!

Also, yes I've come to realize that my plugin is being replaced by Mumble's own when using a stock DLL name

Alright, sorry for the triple post, but I just compiled it against the Windows 7 SDK and still I am getting crashes.

As you indicated you removed cd.dll but the plugin was still listed I guess the issue is this:

On installation Mumble puts the installers plugin DLLs into the installation folders plugins sub directory.
However, on plugin updates the new DLLs will be put into the user writable %APPDATA%\Mumble\Plugins folder.
So I guess you removed and replaced the cs.dll in your installation directory, but actually saw no crashes because the cs.dll that was used was still the original in the appdata folder.
Is this conclusion correct?
