Q: How do I submit a bug report?
A: Well, this should never happen, but in the unlikely event… there should be a dmhelper.log in the root folder of the application. You can send the log file and your campaign XML file to info@dmhelper.net and submit the actual bug report (how to reproduce the problem) to #bug-reports. If you need to submit larger files like images or videos, please contact @DMHelper or @GreenTentacle
Q: Why does the DM Helper crash on my Windows 7 system with the message “”The program can’t start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”?
A: MSVCP140.dll is part of the Microsoft Visual Studio used by the DM Helper. It is pre-installed in Windows 8 and beyond, but not in Windows 7. To install this on Windows 7, you will need to download the free redistributable package from Microsoft. Currently, the link is: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads
Q: Why can’t i choose a Map that i imported into my Campaign for a Battle?
A: To load a Map into a Battle it needs to be in the same “Adventure” Section as the Battle. The other Option to make a Map available for all Battles regardless of which Adventure is to add it to the “World” Section in Settings.
