LMMS 1.2 RC3

[ACYDE Music]

Hi,
A month ago i downloaded the prelease RC3 of lmms 1.2.
I noticed it's less stable than the RC2 release, especially when it comes to processing sounds.
When I want to play the instrument and edit it during it plays, it works for a few minutes, then it crashes
I switched to the RC2 release again, hope I helped you reporting this bug!

When I want to play the instrument and edit it during it plays, it works for a few minutes, then it crashes :/

...Say whut?!!?
RC3 is by far the most stable lmms has been..
I would very much like to hear -exactly- what you do, in order to make RC3 crash,
Step by step, so i can reproduce the actions!
-and if possible i would like to see the project that you have loaded, when RC3 crashes.
upload the project, AS MMP! -and send me the link as PM (just right-click my name in byline and choose Contact musikBear),If you have used non-factory resources, please include in a zip

To Save as MMP:
* Open project
* File | save-as
* chose a name... 'xyzzxy.mmp'
press save
You can upload on any file-host like google drive
I will ofcause respect your rights

Will do that tomorrow

[musikbear]

Will do that tomorrow :)

Thanks i hope i can fins a way to knock that 7zip open..

EDIT : No i cant convert. file too big. Please upload a simple zip

But one important thing :
Whats your:
* OS (+service-pack-version)
* hardware specification (ram & soundcard is the most important)
* lmms sound device chosen
* Latency setting
* a screenshots of error-state if a popup is shown..?

Hope you can wait till tomorrow, pretty busy today

OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
RAM: 8GB DDR3
Soundcard: NVIDIA High Definition Audio, Realtek High Definition Audio
LMMS Sound Device: SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer)
Latency: 1.5 ms
Windows just says: LMMS stopped working

OS:

I have looked at the project, but i cant do much. You are on a 64bit system, i am on 32, so most of the vsts will not work.
However i also got in doubt regarding the value of this 'investigation'
So i need to ask:

This specific project, did that work on RC2 in its current form and context?

That is a crucial thing!
Please answer.

As I know, when I switched back to RC2, there weren't problems at all regarding this crash. There were maybe some runtime errors but these occured not often.

Also I have to add:
This bug is not only in this project file, Nearly everytime I tried to edit instruments during they play, LMMS crashes on some point.

This bug is not only in this project file, Nearly everytime I tried to edit instruments during they play, LMMS crashes on some point.

If you got a project that you are absolutely sure worked for you in RC2, and that particular project does now crash regularly in RC3, then we need to investigate. We cant say anything about stability in RC3, because you now see crashes often, because thats with different projects, so in bughunting, that simply does not count.
But there must be something fishy going on.. RC3 should not crash, when you edit or rather adjust active presets. That said, you are trying to use sfofando or whats it name.. And im not sure it is stable in lmms.
A crash-bug should be reproduceable with lmms' factory instruments/ presets, but it would be very sad if RC3 makes vst-usage less stable than RC2 or 1.1.3, for that matter. Thats why it is so important, that the hunt is done on a project that worked in RC2, but now just fails.
We also have to recognize, that there are noone else, that think RC3 is less stable. I think there would be a lot of posts, if this issue was general. -My own results is that RC3 is very stable, and can do things that in fact did crash 1.1.3 (cascade deletes), but project loading is slower.

Well, I can t switch to RC2 again and try that project that I've sent you in this version out.
But I'm nearly sure that it will work on RC2
