Title: Bitcoin-qt goes unresponsive from options (fixed I guess)
Post by: fasti on February 09, 2014, 05:35:29 PM
Was about to try bitcoin payment on humble bundle. Didn't know what the "miner fee" part was all about so I was unsure if there would be any fee on my transaction. Went to options to see that my fee was at 0.000000000, pushed reset options. Went in options again because I didn't want to see the ui in my mother language. "Need to restart client until this option is in effect"... ok. I shut it down but didn't relaunch, instead I decided to update it to latest 0.8.6 (I had 0.8.5). After updating, I went into options again as it was in crappy language. Now it will always go into unresponsive-mode after pressing "ok"(even if I didn't change anything, apply greyed) or "apply", cancel works correctly. Giving it tens of minutes didn't work either, I press the "x" and windows wants to shut it down forcefully.

Stuff that doesn't work:
- Reinstalling latest version
- Uninstaller(or windows uninstall, same thing I guess)
- Deleting roaming\bitcoin (I have backup)
- Deleting everything "bitcoin"-related with regedit
- Restarting PC
- Trying installing with different user

Stuff that does work:
- Installing version 0.8.1 or older (0.8.2 or later doesn't seem to work)

I did notice that from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2 the installer-icon has changed : ) If that has to do with anything. So atm if I want to change any settings in options, I need to install 0.8.1 to change them, then install latest bitcoin-qt back. Otherwise it seems to work fine, it's finding peers and collecting data. But I don't even want to use this software for finance stuff as it's not working fully.

I have changed settings many times after 0.8.2 in the past, but for some reason after updating to 0.8.6 it doesn't work anymore. Using Windows 8.0.

How to fix?

If I block the internet from bitcoin-qt, changing the settings works, but there's still ~5secs of unresponsiveness. So then I checked out what it wrote in debug.log after it got up again:

2014-02-09 19:21:57 No valid UPnP IGDs found
2014-02-09 19:21:57 upnp thread exit
2014-02-09 19:21:57 upnp thread start

So I disabled upnp and it now works like normal.


Fixed I guess...
