version 4.22 is the last stable working version for me, every other version breasks openclaw for me. Openclaw automatically updated to 4.29 and it again broke the system... as I did not manually update I noticed it after 30 minutes, downgrading to 22 fixed the issue.

I am tired of every version breaking openclaw. I will not run any diragnisis anymore, I have reported issues from version 23 and clearly its not being fixed. I am serieusly thinking of switching to other framework.

If any developer wants to diagnose I will give access to the system as long as I have it running.

TL;DR

Downgrade to version 4.22 to temporarily fix the OpenClaw issue.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be related to version updates of OpenClaw, as the system breaks after upgrading from version 4.22.
  • To verify the issue, try upgrading to a version newer than 4.22 and check if OpenClaw breaks.
  • Consider providing more detailed logs or system information to help developers diagnose the issue.
  • If you're willing, granting access to the system for diagnosis could help identify the root cause.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and without more information, it's difficult to provide a permanent fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 4.22, as it's the last known stable version for the user's system.
