Error on CMUD Pro 3.34 on Windows 10 x64
 
Fresh Install, installs fine, then when it tries to launch I get the following error:

Error opening pcre810.dll library
A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed.

It does launch after I click okay though, but not sure what issues will crop up due to the error.

Running as administrator does not make the error go away.

PCRE is the regex engine, without it all pattern matching will fail.

If you are feeling adventurous you can download and compile your own version of the PCRE library or look for a compiled version to download directly. Just make sure to get a 32bit version to match with cMud. The version that ships with cMud has some optional values tweaked so that bad (infinite recursion) patterns will fail earlier than the default PCRE values.

The only things that can be broken by using a version of PCRE other than the one that is included (8.10) is some of the advanced subregex functions. Subregex may also run slightly slower in general.

Also, the .dll may just have gotten out of scope for some reason. Whenever I get that message, I go to the CMUD folder (in Program Files (x86)) and cut/paste PCRE810.dll

So you replace PRE810.dll ? From where?

Just needed to wait a bit after booting system and the error was gone.

Yes, it goes away after a little while, would it be due to an unfinished process after booting?
