Unable to launch ACT after bluescreen

AnaniMouse

I was in middle of adding new Triggers during the crash and it seems to lock up at "Loading XML subscriptions" during startup, is there a way to manually remove XML added to the program without accessing the program itself, or perhaps is there some way to save certain custom triggers to be used with a reinstall if needed

If you copy/paste the following into the Explorer location bar, it will bring you to where the config files are...

%APPDATA%\Advanced Combat Tracker\Config

The config file is named after the ACT executable.  Usually, Advanced Combat Tracker.config.xml.

If you deleted most of the config file so that it looked like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Config>
    <CustomTriggers>
        <Trigger Active="True" Regex="..." SoundData="..." SoundType="3" CategoryRestrict="False" Category=" General" Timer="False" TimerName="" Tabbed="False" />
        <Trigger Active="True" Regex="..." SoundData="..." SoundType="3" CategoryRestrict="False" Category=" General" Timer="False" TimerName="" Tabbed="False" />
        <Trigger Active="True" Regex="..." SoundData="..." SoundType="3" CategoryRestrict="False" Category=" General" Timer="False" TimerName="" Tabbed="False" />
    </CustomTriggers>
</Config>

The above could be imported using the Import... button in Options ➡ Configuration Import/Export.  If you overwrote the config with this, only the Custom Triggers would be loaded and everything else lost.

If ACT were working properly, you can also use the Export... button to export only Custom Triggers to file.
