v1.2.2 Sia-UI Won't Load

[capt_crunchy_nut]

Hi all,

I'm running version 1.2.2 on Windows 10 x64.

I was running this without an issue yesterday, but today I fired it up and the UI just sits there "loading" for hours. I tried leaving it literally all day and it got nowhere. I noticed when I execute the app it attempts to open two Sia-UI interfaces. I've changed nothing since it last worked.

I ran .\siad.exe --sia-directory %APPDATA%/Sia-UI/sia and the output is as follows:

Loading...
(1/7) Loading gateway...
(2/7) Loading consensus...
(3/7) Loading transaction pool...
(4/7) Loading wallet...
(5/7) Loading miner...
(6/7) Loading host...
(7/7) Loading renter...
Finished loading in 0.07813350000000001 seconds

It just sits there after this and nothing happens. When I terminate the command prompt I then get multiple error popups saying:

Sia-UI Files Error. connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9980

These refuse to disappear (hitting OK just spawns another error popup) without using task manager to kill it.

Has a port somehow become blocked that Sia-UI requires to function correctly?

Any help would be appreciated.

Any solution?

I put the "&" at the end of the line starting siad. So sia starts and runs in background and the command promt returns and can be closed.

But I think this should not be this way.
siad is (should be) a background process. it should return with with no error code if all modules have started.
