Latest RC build crashes M1Max

[Philw]

Daily builds have been running fine - but latest RC build causes C4D to crash on splashscreen.

[Philw]

Reinstalled previous (non-RC) build and all good - so definitely something weird with latest version.

[TomG]

Sorry, but we'll need a lot more info in order to investigate - what OS version, what C4D version, what were you doing at the time (steps that we can follow), was there an error message, is it one scene or all scenes?

[Philw]

Tom - here you go - just launching C4D - not doing anything.

MacOS Ventura 13.4, M1Max MacBook Pro, 64GB RAM
C4D 2023.2.1

C4D quits to bugreport (attached previously) - suggests the Corona plugin is the bit that was upset.

Cheers

For context - C4D was working fine. Installed latest RC build to test - C4D crashes after that. Reinstalled previous build - all good again. Cheers!

[TomG]

TY for the extra info!

Hi Phil,

Can you tell us which version you rolled back to? Was it this one ''Corona 10 for Cinema 4D (Daily Build 2023-05-30)''? Also, as it is crashing on the splash screen, it might be a corrupt plugin that is doing this? Are you able to test it again and make a note of where exactly it is crashing during the splash screen sequence? Many thanks ;)

[Philw]

I'll give it another install :-)

[Philw]

Yep reinstalled the RC1 build - crashes on last stage of plugin loading (screenshot attached).

And Yes, just installed Daily Build 2023-05-30 again - and back to working...

[Philw]

Same with RC2 unfortunately.

[Philw]

Is there any report that shows if its a clash with another plugin?

Like when the versions of QT were clashing with Redshift's?

Not that I'm aware of. I could only suggest removing all the plugins and add them back one by one to see which one is triggering the crash. I had a similar issue just like this last year and doing this method easily found the culprit which fortunately, wasn't Corona. I hope the same can be said for you. Please keep us posted if you can.

[Philw]

Fair enough - but obviously something has changed with RC1 onwards.

[Philw]

I've narrowed it down to a clash with one of the Greyscalegorilla addons - trying to determine which one...

[Philw]

Actually... It seems to be Laubwerk SurfaceSPREAD 2.0.9

[Philw]

or a strange mix of all the above... investigating...

[Beanzvision]

Interesting indeed. For me the issue was with Ornatrix hair plugin. Had no choice but to remove it and all was fine. In your case though, if you do manage to pin-point it, reporting it to their devs would be good. ;)

Hi, same for me!

I was using an older DB (corona-10-c4d-daily-2023-03-09-mac) and it was working perfectly. I wanted to test the new features and updated to the latest RC, but it is unusable. It keeps crashing every time I try to resize the IR and on some other random occasions (I could not see other patterns). I'll switch back to the latest DB as suggested by other users. Cheers!

Hi there, RC3 was just released a few minutes ago, can you test this as well before rolling back a version?

Thanks in advance

Hi Phil,

We just released RC3, can you test it once again and keep us posted? Also, I'm chatting with another Philip from SurfaceSPREAD about this so fingers crossed we reach a positive resolution :)

Hello there,

I just tried it – when handling bigger scenes after I stop the IR, it gives a plugin error and crashes. All fine until that point.

Awesome to hear, thanks for testing it and letting me know. :)

Hi there, what plugin are you referring to? Also SurfaceSPREAD? Can you share the crash report and mini dump .dmp file for us? Also, what version of C4D are you using? Win or Mac?

[superfluido]

I am not using SurfaceSPREAD, my plugin list is: Forester, Instasify, Megascan, Rhino IO, Vray.
C4D 2023.2.1 Mac Studio M1Ultra 128 GB macOS Ventura 13.0

I'll try to simulate the error again and upload the crash file.

Hi, ok. As mentioned to Phil, try removing all the plugins and add them back one by one to see which one is triggering the crash. Please let us know your findings. Thanks!
