finding logfile / memory leak ( ? ) / cant start avenue

Post by VJair »

where do i find the logfile to send in?

i had a big crash last night whilst in a club - it was a complete show stopper, i literaly had to show the promoter i couldnt get avenue to boot with any composition at all. ive thoroughly tested it at home for many hours and not suffered any big crashes, so i thought it was safe to use live - and because of this, id made the comp in avenue 4, not avenue 3, so i couldnt even load it in version 3.

i noticed before avenue bombed, it said "low memory" in red on the bottom right of the avenue screen and after it bombed i checked the task manager and watched the amount of available ram ticking down quite rapidly even though no other aps were running ( other than standard windows stuff )

i now cant get avenue 4 to boot at all with any of the comps ive used / made before with avenue 4.

this is on a well tried and tested laptop that hasnt bombed for me with anything else.

any thoughts / ideas / help ?

win 7 64bit / 4gb ram / core i5 2.4ghz / 2.4ghz / ati 5650

You can see and send the logfile here: Resolume / Preferences / Feedback / seelog


I have some additional questions about your "crash/f***", because I had a show last weekend...and it worked great:

- did you used midi / osc / smpte / artnet ?
- did you used flash?
- everything dxv?
- any third party software for sequencing or something similar?
- virtual midi cables?
- external or internal soundcard?

:oops: cant start avenue...sound like that you can't start avenue :roll:

In that case...did you tried to move all composition files out of the composition folder...to force R4 to start with a blank composition?

sometimes a direct mail to mail@resolume.com helps a bit faster.
Your problem sounds very urgent.
