Honestly, I'm scratching my head. I can't get it to fail, I've tried enabling everything in the charpane options, it still works for me, I tried on a boriscore character too, worked fine.
If you, or anyone else following this thread has time to test out
this build, it's the exact one I am using, it's built against the latest revision and only with the patch above applied. Just trying to figure out if my machine is the only one it works on.
Edit: The only option I can't properly test is "Display PvP Fights Remaining in the Character Pane", because I don't have a broken hippy stone. Maybe try turning that off, see if it works? At least then I'll know if that's what is causing the problem.
