Locked RC3 Crash - Info Please #wsjt-x-crashing


Brian Moran
 

Greetings, I'm gathering information on wsjt-x on Microsoft Windows crashes that people are experiencing and reporting in this group; I've read posts from W1UE, WV4P, W3RJW, WB5JJJ about this, and some of those folks are testing potential fixes.

If you have experienced a crash (*not* UI glitches as some have reported with Dark mode, but actual program crashes, or when the wsjt-x app "disappears") with RC3 (not any other version, please), could you please reply with:
- how frequently and under what circumstance this occurs (e.g. "once per day", "about once every 10 contacts", "any time my power is above 20 watts", "only when I'm on 10 meters", "when my kid is playing Destiny on his PC")
- version of wsjt-x (I'm expecting that this will be "2.6.0-rc3" )
- whether you installed by downloading from the K1JT website (https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html), or whether you compiled it yourself; whether any additional files (e.g. DLLs may have been replaced after you downloaded and installed).
- the radio you have configured in the Settings -> Radio tab
- how you are connecting to the radio (port type (USB, Serial, TCP/IP), direct, via port splitter, COM0COM, via virtual rig software like HRD, if you know)
- whether you're also using any other application like JTAlert, N1MM Logger+, or any other connect-via-network-socket type of software at the same time
- the version of Windows you're using
- how much memory you have, what processor you're using, if you know it

- anything else you think is relevant

I am trying to reproduce these crashes, but have been unable to thus far, despite using RC3 along with N1MM Logger+, with HRD, etc. I have NOT yet tried two instances for SO2R with N1MM, that's next.

Thanks,
-Brian N9ADG
