  • VE Pro crashes every 3 hours or so

    I have a Mac Pro as master and a G5 as slave.  No probs with slave ever so far.

    About every 3 hours or so, the VE Pro on the host (behind Logic 9) will "quit unexpectedly".  I probably should be taking a break every 3 hrs or so anyway, but do any of you get a hint as to the problem from this excerpt from the crash log below?

    I'm using Mac OS "Spaces".  Don't know if that's a prob or not.

    Thanks!

  • this resembles very closely my most frequent crash, which is on a macpro slave (quad core 2.93 x2; 24GB), a single slave. OSX.6.2.

    It's happened with: NOTHING going on, during loading of a frame (at the end), during renders, kind of you-name-it. It appears to have something to do with the GUI; many things are embedded into the host...


  • By the way, VE Pro NEVER crashes on my slave computer, only on the main host computer running Logic.


  • It could be related to Kontakt 4. Did you ever experience this without Kontakt in the VE Pro project?


  • I found that in x64 kernel, that the VE Pro 32-bit server crashes if a screen saver has been going for 'too long' or when the display goes to sleep for, say 3 hours or so. OSX.6.4, every VEP build since this thread, thru 7043. The x64 VEP server never does this.

    Last nite and today I found that when 32-bit VEP server is DOCKED that this does not happen.


  • I never use a screen saver on my studio Mac.  It never activates.  If I take a break, I just turn off the display.
