Corona crashes all the time (Cinema 4d)

Hi Shumchuk!

Great that you managed to fix the issue, but it's weird... It must be some trouble with our installer and we'll need to look at it.

I have the same issue than you. Corona crashes all time. Oddly enough it started crashes at alpha 5.1 and ever since I haven't been able to use Corona. You guys should let the older versions alive. By killing them you hurt us. Buying a new machine is not a small investment.

I understand that you are willing to try an older version, because you feel that it's the only way to have a functioning Corona. But it should not be crashing for you in the first place! Can I ask you for your system specifics? By that, I mean OS version, C4D version, CPU, ...

When Corona crashes, when does that happen? When starting C4D or when doing something specific? Could you send us the BugReport.txt file?

Also, did you try uninstalling Corona and installing the newer version? Alternatively, instead of uninstalling you can erase the whole folder "plugins\corona" inside the installation directory and reinstall Cinema.

Aha, indeed! It could really be the reason why Corona runs stable on this machine and gives issues on others.
Because I never use installer to install directly.
My preferred practice is to unpack, then move stuff to proper locations.
That way i know registry is safe, no extra stuff gets installed & cleaning is hassle free.

I do that, too. But you definitely made sure that on all machines the needed "runtimes" are installed. Maybe this is the cause of some issues some users had. Although that's what the installer is for, actually ...

oh, sorry for the confusion
by "other machines" i meant those who are used by "other users"

"An apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task." - so i consider the whole system/mechanics/environment as one machine, especially since modern GPUs were introduced as they behave as nodes (ie. super computer is a machine, cloud is also a machine :)

Strictly speaking, using that definition, a computer is not a machine, since it uses electromagnetical power rather than mechanical :-)

Does using an array of hamster wheels for creating this power qualify?

[burnin]

lol what have i done? I released a monster...

By today's advancements & knowledge, it should be an old interpretation, since it's excluding EM & quantum mechanics. :p

&

Hamsters? "... together performing a particular task." Are machine. Hummm... Then maybe it's them building planets and we're running in hope to achieve happiness. Looks like Douglas was wrong after all.


Well, at least we got that sorted... or not. Damn, now i'm gonna rage against the machine. :D

cheers
& Have fun

Hi. You all got this totally wrong.... Any old time Corona user knows that hamsters has nothing to do with Corona - it's all about Ponies!

If I had a dual CPU setup or bigger, I would go with ponies, too. For my single CPU, hamsters work just fine.
OTOH, I would not upgrade to ponies if I got my hands on a unicorn. It is never easy to decide ...

[PROH]

Yes, it might be better with unicorns :) :)

But the question remains - are a bunch of Ponies running in their hamster wheels (in order to render a nice archviz image) considered a machine?

The definition could go pretty broad here. I mean, what about a bunch of people working together for a common goal? Do they constitute a machine? Hell, our whole planet could be taken as a machine, broadly speaking...

[burnin]

why not, if they did the work & action is done ;) so spoke Zarathustra... :D nice example lies in the phrase deus ex machina - a plot device or a mean to a cause or an engine... giving "machine" a superlative meaning
& making my dream come true
to one day get my hands on a unicorn farting a rainbow so i can go on a quest to save my goldielock princess from the wrath of a shard dragon :D  (RT rendering true volumetric iridescence?)
