Awesomium crash at start-up, and a bug in bug reporting

[pdsoper]

When I start Markdown 2 with automatic previewing, I immediately am told "Awesomium v1.6.5 has stopped working"

Using the built-in bug report system also isn't working - at least not for the first three tries.

Thanks for reporting these issues, and sorry about the problem.

Thanks for the pointer. The driver update did not help, but installing the Awesomium 1.6.6 SDK did. Problem resolved.

Glad to hear, thanks for the update.

I'm working on integrating a new HTML rendering system for an upcoming update, which should remove the need for this workaround in the future.

After all this time that bug is still here. I downloaded MDP2 for evaluating purpose but of course this is stopping me (I'm on windows 10). Any news about a new release ?

Well, I bought a Pro license in order to acknowledge the authors work and to support them. Nevertheless I'm pretty much disappointed that for three weeks I haven't received the slightest response to a question or report regarding this bug I sent via MarkdownPad Support Website. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of it, but I'm trying here again in the hope of a greater Attention.
1) The bug was worked around with the Awesomium Version downloaded from the MarkdownPad Website. However, when I tried the latest security fix from Awesomium it required me to uninstall old versions and then with this new Version the Crash reappeared. What can I do when I Need the latest Awesomium package?
2) Is MarkdownPad still worked on? When will a fixed Version be available?
Thanks
Jeff

PS: Anybody know how I can disable the "autocorrection Feature" in the Forum Editor, that makes words upper case? I gave up to correct it after about 10 occurrences - please excuse this.

If you look at evanw's profile here on the forums, you can see his last post was in May 2015, so I think it is safe to say that MDP is dead.

I agree that it seems to be an abandoned product. It really doesn't work on the current version of windows without jumping through hoops and yet the site is still up and likely people are still paying money to upgrade to the pro version without knowing the issues.
