render crash

[mattman]

Interactive is not involved. Just regular render window.

I render from the perspective window, let it run for a bit then cancel, then move around in the viewport and render again. Then cancel after a few passes. Then on this third or sometimes second render it crashes upon hitting the render button.

I have also noticed crashes while getting materials eg - from the material editor, get material, scroll down to corona material, it seems like as it is rendering the small previews it crashes.

I have also experienced interactive crashes but I tried with and without interactive started and I get the same crash.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Matt

Ondra, I heeded your call for coffee money and purchased two licenses for a year with 13 slaves :) I used our purchasers credit card so the name on the account in your system is Jules Kaizer but it has my email on it as is linked to my profile here. Please feel free to change the Jules Kaizer name to Matthew Pearse if you are able. Are there any daily builds you want me to try to sort out the crashing problem?
BTW, I love your thank you message that you send when someone makes a purchase, I think highly of the Corona team as well!

Best,
Matt

Thanks ;) but for security reasons, I cannot make any changes in orders, unless they are requested using the email address for which the licenses were purchased. If you want the name changed, please contact me at ondra@corona... using the email you entered during checkout.

I will work more on solving the crashes at the end of the week.

Hi Ondra, have not had time to skype but this morning had a moment and downloaded the latest daily build. Crash on render start. Mini dump attached. Thanks!

[mattman]

Here is the minidump from process explorer

[Ondra]

ok, I will take a look later

[Ondra]

ok, I know where it crashes, but I still dont know why it enters that portion of code. It would be best to do a debugging session sometimes

[Ondra]

or before the session, could you please do this:
locate files: CoronaMax2014_log.txt and CoronaMax2014_interactive.txt somewhere in C:/Users (use windows/totalcmd search function), and send them to me?

[mattman]

Here you go.

note to self: unknown exception pops out, render handler is not exception-safe

[mattman]

Hi Ondra, I got this message:

File: C:\Corona\src\CoronaMax/core/Context.h
Line: 29
Condition: corona

Mini dump attached

[Ondra]

ok, this is what I expected, and it should be fixed in the latest daily. But the exception will still pop out (but hopefully without crashing), so we need to also debug that.

[mattman]

Hi Ondra, here is Mini Dump and screen grab.
Best,
Matt

[Ondra]

ok, lets solve this over skype sometimes. Some debugging will be needed

[mattman]

OK Sounds good.
