some problems with sia-ui

[blackmamba]

I've downloaded sia-ui 1.3 for almost a week but still cannot use the wallet. tonight when i launched sia-ui, it said "loading can take a while after upgrading to a new version. Check the release notes for more details", and it was stuck.

Does anybody can help me to fix it? it drives me crazy.

many thanks

@blackmamba Most problems are fixed by reinstalling.

yes i reinstalled it, and when i copy the consensus file which I've downloaded for 3days to the new folder in my C disk(C:\users...\sia-ui\sia\consensus), the problem showed up.

So how can i reinstall it and without downloading the consensus for another week?

@blackmamba I would only use fresh downloads of the consensus. Reusing or copying sounds like it might bring corruption and errors.

OMG...why does sia-ui still so stupid !!!

but thanks anyway

@blackmamba If you aren't renting or hosting there is really no reason to even use the wallet. You can just keep your coins in an exchange. I'm sorry that the UI is difficult people come here believing it is a lot further along than it actually is.

One problem is your consensus location depends if you use the UI or the CLI.

Example: Default location of consensus for Sia-UI is is in your appdata\roaming\sia\connsensus directory on windows.

Sia ui 1.3 didn't Start. Let it load for 2x 5 hours.
1.2 was ready with Loading after 3 hours.
I reinstalt, redownload 1.3 . Tryed it 2 Day's.

Tryed 1.2 After that.

Erased everything from 1.3 and 1.2 and cleaned the registry.

This is after Windows 10 creator Update.

Wen did you release a new Version.
