It would be helpful if you would share more info which error you are getting as I can’t fix something that I don’t have myself.
That is not so easy, i use WordPress 6.5.5 and PHP 8.2.20, an there is no Error Message, just this white Screen that shows “There has been a critical error on this website.” after some reloads (F5) it sometimes work, but not always. If i disable the Plugin everything is fine. it looks like, there is some form of timeout, it is not easy to reproduce. Fact is with the plugin enabled, there is sometimes this behave. If it is disabled, there are no problems. But maybe the problem is somewhere else, i try to investigate a little bit more.

Do you have any other plugins that uses the GeoIP2 libraries? So basically any other plugin that uses the MaxMind database for anything else?
@mishash thank you for the investigation, since the plugin does not provide the GEO-Database, i use a cronjob to download it from Maxmind (a have an account) and put in
/var/www/vhosts/[my domain]/wp-content/uploads/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
maybe this helps to find the problem.
For now i deactivated the plugin on all my sites, because the don’t work reliable any more.
@iqpascal i don’t have any other plugins that uses an Geo-IP-Database, besides WPStatics, which uses its own, not an external one.
is there a location where you search for the Database, i can put it in any folder. At the moment the database is located in wp-content/uploads/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb
is the name of the Database correct ?

It won’t be the database or the location but most likely a conflict with another plugin that also uses the GeoIP2 libraries but then a different version
than this is not the problem:
GeoIP2 database exists. File date: 15. June 2024 2:00
but the above problem with the white screen and this short error message is still a thing.
I am sure we are not the only ones, with this problem.

@iqpascal Re “It won’t be the database or the location but most likely a conflict with another plugin that also uses the GeoIP2 libraries but then a different version”. No, not in my case. No other plugins using GeoIP database and the code outside WordPress that uses this database uses the identical copy of the database located outside WordPress.
I reverted to the previous version of the plugin and no issues whatsoever. Must be something that was introduced in the last version.

If you don’t have any other plugins using the (old) GeoIP2 library you won’t have this error so unless you don’t have the exact same error message (other than a different path) post the error message.
here is the PHP error I receive – whenever the plugin is installed my site is crashed was working until the last update:
[31-Jul-2024 18:22:11 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Declaration of GeoIp2\Database\Reader::country(string $ipAddress): GeoIp2\Model\Country must be compatible with GeoIp2\ProviderInterface::country($ipAddress) in /var/www/advantechmsp.com/html/wp-content/plugins/iq-block-country/vendor/geoip2/geoip2/src/Database/Reader.php on line 107
