Author Topic: Beta 2.1x crashes (Read 4913 times)

While I was panning around AZ collecting Landsat tiles, the program abruptly crashed generating one of those error messages asking me to send info to Microsoft. This also happened in one of the 2.15 betas (can't remember which). Will send the topofusion.log file. Doesn't appear to cause any other problems and program reloads ok.

Ok, thanks for reporting the bug. I'll try to replicate it.

How long had you been panning around in Landsat mode? Are we talking a few minutes or a half hour?

I assume you were zooming in/out as well, possibly switching to topo/aerial at times?

On the whole, I was not panning around that long before it crashed. More than a few minutes. Not sure if it was 30 minutes. I had panned and switched to a different program, and it crashed while getting the tiles in the background.

I was not zooming at the time it crashed, and hadn't zoomed for some time. It was primarily panning across the state of AZ to pick up the tiles. Was not switching modes (topo/aerial) at all.

I resumed the panning after restarting the program and was able to finish AZ. I would guess my use after the crash was perhaps 5 times the use before it crashed. The previous crash was also in a relatively short time after starting the program. In neither case was the map.dat file very big (all the tiles were in one file, < 650MB).

Thanks for the info Steve. I believe I have fixed it -- I somehow made it crash with an assert that could have done a windows error if I were not running it in the IDE.
