It's normal, takes even longer for me. So I increased image tolerance to 105 they had like 7-0 before i leave them and now I found the first one at 9-9 and the error where it gets stuck on launcher sayign that only 1 instance can be runing.... The other one here it gets interesting, it happened again with that error that I mentioned, the error was saying that the memory could not be written and it was frozen again (just the client) I opened task manager and I saw the memory being at 82% (2,5GB out of 3) that has never happened before....
Edit: ye I thought of making a screenshot but when I saw what the error was saying I thought that it's not nesessery(god i hate this word im always misstyping it) as it's something else that needs to be fixed, can you tell me exactly which Workstation 8 you are using and when you make the VMs on the first window where it asks for Hardware Compatibility what do you select? I selected Workstation 8 there, and my version is e.x.p build-790308
Also this error happened twice but only with the second VM, something else is going on the first one (the one client stuff)
More details the 2nd VM is running from my SSD and the first is running from my HDD, the 2nd one is that gets this error got 30GB free on the SSD and 20GB on the VM.
More details about the only one instance problem I found when and how it happens, when it restarts for the first time it doesnt write the password and it keeps searching for the Play button (it thinks that the psasword is already written) but its not showing since its not logging in which is causing it to restart itself over and oer again, that gives us the only one instance shit error.
I still don't see how the other Memory error is occuring my win ATM takes 370MB RAM which leaves like 2,5GB for SWTOR and before i've never seen it taking up more than 1,4 GB gonna stalk Task manager now..

My Workstation is version 8.0.4 build-744019. My VMs have white screened a few times since the patch as well, requiring an extra click to fully close the program, so I think the image check might really help.
What I haven't seen is the multiple instance error, but trying to run multiple instances could easily explain your memory overage. I'd like to get to the bottom of that one if possible. Can you provide more details, such as exactly how long it was running, what it was doing (specific mission, mission + crew skills, crew skills), and what the bot was displaying on the debug line when it happened?
Well ye, but the thing is that the the VM with the memory error had nothing to do with the "more than one shit" I couldn't see exactly what was taking so much memory because hte bot kept dragging my mouse away.
About the Memory problem, well I guess you can just add a simple "ok" image from windows so no matter what error there is from windows it would be clicking it, unless you need to specify the exact place where it should be looking at, then it would get ocmplicated because depending on the size of the error message, the error window will vary so will the Ok button.
The one thing shit like I said had nothing to do with the memory + even if it had something to do with it, it is occurring only when it's trying to restart the client which isn't happening while the game is running and I got the error while it was running (when it went white), I was running Kalee on both of them no crew stuff. I saw sometihng that's not usually on the debug message line but I can't remember exactly what it was saying it was something about ------------------------------------------------------- that long maybe..? and it had (Image Tolerance 105) next to it, I also think that it had the word advance/d in it?
Like I said I think that what is causing the error is that by some reason it doesnt click on the password field to start writing the password so it's writing the password without the cursor being on the field, which fools the bot and it keeps waiting for the Play button to show up, since this isn't happening after it times out the launcher stays opened waiting for it's password and the bot keeps trying to open a new one which leads to the error, that's my theory and I saw some of it
Thanks for all the details! I'll add a password check image which includes the yellow outline around the entry field. This outline appears once the field is ready for input, so that might solve the problem.
You could very well be right about it trying over and over again with the launcher open - I'll go through the code and see if that can be avoided as well.
5-0 for both atm... 64% memory (1,141mb) I'm so pissed off bad stuff never happens when it should now if I go out to get something to eat they both will crash the host will crash an earthquake will occur breaking my new monitor and a ton of other shit, but when I'm here nooo never nothing
13-0 are u kidding me -.-

For the next revision, I've added a new password image which includes the outline, so the script will progress only after the field is available and populated. Also, code has been added which checks for the existence of the launcher window before attempting a restart. Other goodies as well - I'll post once it's ready.
Can you tell me how much RAM is your star wars using after like 20-30 missions? mine got up to 1,529mb(on the hdd) so far in 17 missions and 1,479mb on the ssd
Nono I just meant with HDD/SSD the VMs since they are on different drives and I asked about the Memory used thats show in task manager inside the VM and guess what I was right I went out just like 10 mins ago to buy something and now when I got back one of them stopped working, actually neither the client or the bot were running and there were no error messages no nothing
I am asking how much specificly its using because after each 2-3 missions it's going up and up, growing after every few missions the other one that's still running is about to hit 1,7GB at 22-0...
http://prikachi.com/images/694/5317694l.png Everytime when I start the SWTOR it looks like this and to fix it I just need to resize it a bit, even 1 pixel would do
Here it is the RAM error after around 20 missions - http://prikachi.com/images/729/5317729C.png
I started it now on the host no limitations from nothing I guess that it will run more than fine forever but still wanna try it out.
I also have the intention to fully format everything tomorrow and do a fresh install of the windows, however from what I read about this error this probably won't help.... I did some disk check for errors or something through the CMD and it found corrupted files and said that it cant fix them (that was inside the VM)

I just downloaded the most recent version of the bot and I gotta say, I really like how it keeps track of the credits now, definitely helpful!
Out of curiorisity, I've been thinking about trying to bot using a VM and my main rig, currently it runs on my gaming laptop in my second bedroom, how does it handle the graphics? From what I thought it wouldn't use my actual graphics card. Although I suppose I could be wrong. And do you use VMSphere or virtualbox?

Anyway everything is runing perfectly on the host but tons of problems inside the VMs...
