Afternoon

 

I had thought my DR crashing/freezing was because my system was o/c'd, but that not appears not to be the case.

 

What seems to happen is DR will freeze-crash and become unresponsive and this has happened in-between save/snapshot so I loose all the work I had just done. So while this is extremely aggravating, is there a way I capture these crash so they can be diagnosed by the team..?

Perhaps you could install the free Visual Studio Express and see if that has any ability to attach to a hung process and inspect its state or get a backtrace?

 

Unfortunately I know very little about Windows debugging myself, but that's where I would start if I had to attempt it.

Have you tried building from source? There might be a fix in there for your issue. I have not had any issues like this and I am massively overclocked on my laptop and I've left DR open overnight without issue.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

maybe greebs/orbs can help with this...?

 

I refer the right honourable gentleman to the statement I made some moments ago. Other than trying to install development tools I don't have any specific ideas about how to debug a broken Windows progress. I do have a Windows partition at home though, maybe I can find some time to download Visual Studio Express and see if it's even possible to use it for this purpose.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
