Regular crashing when trying to make / edit decals

[Andrew Davies]

Hello -

I have a brand new file which I am experimenting with decals on.

However VW is regularly crashing. Has anyone else experience of crashing problems when adding decals (and editing with the attribute mapping tool) ?

Thanks,

Andrew

Sorry - think I worked it out. My decal image file size was too big. 1.5MB

Of course, it would have been far too difficult for VW to warn you if you are trying to use an image that is too big.

For a ?2k application - VW has by far the worst user experiences I have ever come across. It is getting so left behind it is unbelievable.

Check your Console>CrashLog > VW

You may discover what really caused that problem.

Don't really know what I am looking for though. Here are the first few lines of one of the crashes !
