I’m having this same issue, and I have tried multiple things to fix it. Tried uninstalling, trying reinstalling and even a [clean install](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/24). Nothing is working. What else can I do?

EDIT; I even purchased the newer version 2.6.2 to install it and still not working.
