Bruce Kieffer Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Hello all. Your friendly unpaid beta tester/trouble shooter here again to give you an update. Do I sound bitter? I am. I didn't sign up to be a beta tester. I need my programs to work for me, not me have to work for them. I have it narrowed down my crashes to being something to do with changing a VW pref settings. I've confirmed that turning on the VW preference Session/Use sound causes VW to crash when waking from extended sleep, and randomly when doing some type of internet connection, like a FaceTime call. I ask you again, do you have Session/use sound turned on? If so, and you don't have crashes, what is your computer setup. Basic stuff like make, model, operating system.

Christiaan Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm able to replicate the problem Bruce. Nice detective work. 1. Open v2013 2. Turn on on Use Sound under Session preferences 3. Sleep computer 4. Wake up 5. v2013 crashes Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just tried it w/ OS 10.7.4 No crash. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have replicated the crash on my MacBook Pro. Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I can replicate it too on my Macbook Pro. Kevin Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Maybe it's a 10.8 thing.... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Maybe it's a 10.8 thing.... At least I've proven it's VW 2013 and not my computer. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I suspect you're correct. I should have said a 2013 / OS 10.8 compatibility thing... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 SP1 does NOT fix the Session/Use Sound crash. Quote Link to comment
Diamond Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hello Kevin, One of our Mountain Lion Macs has been doing something similar in 2012. That machine was a clean install and we are working through the issues. What I did was to prevent the machine from sleeping during the day and shut it down each evening. Not ideal. We thought it was a Vw autosave preferences issue of my own making, but it may be a something else. Will keep you posted. Quote Link to comment
Alan w Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hello Kevin Do you have the sound turned on, I have noticed a issue when sound is turned on in vectorworks it will crash when waking from sleep mode. Quote Link to comment
