Always get this error when booting C2 since v208:

Check failure! This is probably a bug:

ACE table: Expression ID duplicated in ACE table

Condition: exp_ids.find(id) == exp_ids.end()

Don't know if it is a third party plugin or something that causes this? But it started as soon as I updated C2 to v208

The only definitive way to determine is for you to post a small .capx that exhibits the problem (bug reporting guideline).

Likely a non-standard plugin issue. Try uninstalling, moving (or deleting) the remaining folder, and reinstall.

Does the error still occur?

If not, add your non-standard plugins one at a time to determine the broken one.

zenox98 I didn't post a capx because it has nothing to do with it. It always happens when I boot C2.

But it's probably a third party plugin so I'll try to find out which one it is.

Thank you

UPDATE:

Removed all plugins and behaviours and reinstalled c2 v209 and still get the error. So something else has to be causing this error. But it doesn't matter much because if I click "try again" it boots up as normal. Just want to know why I keep getting this annoying message.

This usually happens when you install a broken third party plugin. I'm going to close this on the assumption it's that. Please file a new report (with .capx etc) if you can reproduce this with only official plugins/behaviors.

Ashley As I said in the update on the last post this message appears even after a clean install with no third party plugins. But if I click "try again" it boots up. So I can still use C2 but I always get the error on launch.

But I can live with it as long as it doesn't break my game

Are you installing from Steam or standalone?

zenox98 I'm using the standalone verison

Anonnymitet - when you say a "clean install", are you also deleting %appdata%\Construct2? Otherwise your third party plugins, behaviors and effects may be left behind from a previous install. Nobody else is reporting this so it seems very likely the cause.

Ashley And that was the problem. The photon plugin was stored in the appdata folder and was causing the error message. After deleting it C2 opens without any error messages. Thank you and sorry for the bug report.
