    Latest update broke Ninja Trader

    The latest update broke Ninja Trader for me. It will not start at all.

    #2
    I came here specifically to look for these types of messages before updating. It just popped up for me today to update to 8.1.4.1. What version did you update from?

            I can't log in after the update. It gives the error "A task was canceled" when I try to log in.

            I can log into this forum, but I can't log into my web account from my desktop pc or my phone on the app. When I try to log into either of these, the Log In button turns gray as if pressed, but nothing happens. Both the website and the phone app just sit there after doing this.

            Since there's a problem on the desktop NJ8, desktop web login, and phone app, I can't tell if it's the update or if NJ is down.

            Thank you for the help!

                It wasn't that the communication was bad. It was that there was NO communication or online support.

                Did you break something? Today my charts are locking up in playback AND live. They become unclickable. I keep having to restart the entire app.

                    How about a method for us to just roll back and/or not update? You seem to have a higher risk of breaking things, and what we need is stability - not innovation.

                    I'm sitting here while 2 charts load and a third hangs. NT is using 800MB of memory < 3% CPU.

                    You guys have good software but your ability to break the product is high and your exceptionally unprofessional handling of maintenance this weekend makes me regret how much time I've spent learning NT

                      Hello Skifree,

                      Thank you for the update.

                      You are always welcome to uninstall NinjaTrader and then install a prior version of the platform.
                      • Uninstall NinjaTrader through the Windows Control Panel
                      • Then, go to the NinjaTrader Website and download install the "Prior Version" shown on the right-side of the Downloads page.

                      If you downgrade and the issues continue, that means the errors weren't specific to the new version, but revealed after updating forced the platform to re-compile its 3rd party add-ons and notice the discrepancies.

                      In that case, you could do a completely fresh installation of the most current version of NinjaTrader and then once your connection is set back up, reimport your desired add-ons back in 1-by-1 in the order you want them and save the workspace in iterations.
                      • Then, test after adding things back 1-by-1 to narrow in on where the unwanted behaviors are coming from.
                      • If they return, you know the last thing added back in was the cause and can reach back out to the developer for more specific suggestions on things to edit and modify to have it not cause the unwanted behaviors.

                      To do a completely fresh installation of NinjaTrader without any of your prior add-ons, files, templates, or settings:
                      • Close all running applications.
                      • Navigate to your Documents folder > Right-click on the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder > Rename > rename the folder to 'NinjaTrader 8 OLD'. DO NOT delete this folder.
                      • Uninstall NinjaTrader within Windows Control Panel.
                      • Navigate to C:\ > Program File (x86) > Delete the 'NinjaTrader 8' folder if it exists
                      • Reboot your PC.
                      • Once these steps are completed, please log in to your dashboard and download and install NT8:
                      From here, you will want to sign back in, re-enable Multi-provider Mode, and then re-configure your Connection and test if NinjaTrader is opening and working as expected.Then, you can reimport your add-ons 1-by-1 and reconfigure the workspace while testing and being on the lookout for unwanted behaviors and delays.
                      Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.

                        I downgraded and everything resolved itself immediately. Recommending I deconstruct my install and code to debug this is very lazy feedback.

                          Not lazy. If the platform runs well on their machines there is no way to debug your problem. Therefore the testing needs to be done on the machine with the issue.

                            Not true. I'm a Product Manager in software/tech.

                            I would never tell my customers to debug their own tech. I would lean into my QA team to figure it out.

                            Rolling back solved the problems, this is pretty conclusive that the issue is the software.

                              This can be totally wrong. If the issue is not with the platform, how can they debug the issue. In fact, if you go through the forums, 90% of the time it is some other thing that is causing the problem. If one of my customers has issues with my software and I don't, I need to debug his machine/installation in order to determine in the problem is my code or not.
