Please check the designer/presenter.log files in the Ventuz installation folder after an error. About the freezes: when do they occure? During work with the Designer or even in the Presenter? We definitely need more information. As you can imagine it is hard to debug an application with such vague information. Best regards karol    Report

Posts 337 Re: ventuz crashes suddenly Hi Francois, there is one way to force Ventuz to "freeze" - it happens if you have endless event-method binding loops. please check your scene for that. The best way to find the reason for some unwanted behaviour is to reduce the scene by 50% (by deleting nodes) - try out if the error still exist - if yes reload the original one and delete the other 50%. Repeat this procedure with the remaining 50%... after a few steps you should know which part in the scene causes the error. If can't solve the error by your own you can send us the faulty node-snippet. Then we can help. Good luck Ralf    Report

Posts 337 Re: ventuz crashes suddenly Hi Francois, as the error message says, "could not be handled" the error is on a higher level than the application (Ventuz) The message itself is generated by the .net runtime and not by Ventuz - so we can't tell you what this error means. Usually, those runtime-error a very hard to find, because .net wasn't able to catch the error. Common errors are all caught by Ventuz: If the "send to development team" popup comes up, .net was able to catch - your error is more in depth! It could be a native graphics driver error, or a memory fault, or ... Please follow the rules a mentioned above and figure out which part of your scene causes the problem. That's the only way to sort it out! Ralf    Report
