[Solved] Fragmentarium hangs problem

[Leonrott]

Hi I am having problems with fragmentarium when I run the 1.0 version appears the splash then the program opens and closes inmediatly, when I look in the Windows Task Manager the app is in background but not respond, when I try the version 0.9 windows 7 hangs and I have to reboot.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits, and Nvidia GTX 550 ti

I look in event viewer and there are no errors related with Fragmentarium.

you are using a pre-compiled exe or compiling your own?

Not 1.0.b 3Dickulus version?

I have GTX 650 Ti  ... 0.9 - 1.0 - 1.0.+ all work here

[Leonrott]

The  1.0.b 3Dickulus version works for some seconds then closes and remains in the list of process and I can't kill the process.

[3dickulus]

can you run it from a dos shell and see any output?

I've had a similar thing happen when inadvertently running two copies or gfx driver version is not the same as libraries (G210 gfx card)

The 1.0.b 3Dickulus version is compiled against Qt 5.1.1 with MinGW, if you downloaded the big file from my site you will have the DLLs it was compiled with, they just might not be in your PATH properly, open a shell, change directory to where the executable and DLLs are, type "Fragmentarium.exe" and hit <enter> and post the messages if any.

if the problem persists I'll try to reproduce the problem on a Windows box with nVidia card but if I can't I'm afraid you're on your own

[3dickulus]

I 've just uploaded the latest changes and compiled exe after testing (briefly) on Win7 with nVidia and it seems to work fine 

[Leonrott]

Thanks for your help, I still have problems, I compiled with VC++ 2010 and qt 4.8.5 and happens again Fragmentarium closes, but I discovered the problem when I run program like you say in the shell with no problems, the problem is the antivirus avast, I don't know why but when I was running Fragmentarium Avast starts the program in a secure box and crashes. Many thanks 3Dickulus in the way I learned to compile the Fragmentarium program 

In conclusion the problem was Avast, I have to make a exception because the antivirus  detects something in the program.

[3dickulus]

and just to clarify...

Avast has problems with Fragmentarium... all versions.

AVG is fine with it

I have problems with fragmentarium was not. I use Kaspersky Antivirus for many years, I trust him. Leonrott, see you on Windows 7 too many processes - 78.
Have you optimized the system? I process 36-40. You no longer need.
If the Task Manager does not let you kill the process, so you do not have administrator rights? You are working with a super administrator account or a normal account?

[Leonrott]

Hi SCORPION the problem was resolved now, I am working normally with Fragmentarium in this many processes are hanging in windows but in this moment all is fine, thank you I will check my processes for better windows performance, the problem was Avast Antivirus,  thank you!

[3dickulus]

78 too many? ... I see a few duplicates, hanging?

on my system I have 162 tasks, including Fragmentarium...

to give your CPU some room you might try rendering 1/10th sized tiles, 128x96 for a 1280x960 image, so the GPU doesn't preempt other tasks, that will let the desktop update and should stay below the GPU time-out, I've gone as small as 64x36 tiles for hires and animating, no problem.
