Devices Crash

Post by soylent.green »

Hi y'all

I guess my scope installation is in a bad condition somehow: It feels like its getting more and more devices every day that crash sfp.exe when dragged into the routing pane. The crashes come in two forms:
1.) Immediate crash. This is the type that for instance is caused by C4T_v0_4b.dev.
2.) The use-50%-cpu-for-about-1-minute-and-then-crash crash which I experienced with several other devices.

All of the devices in question worked in the past but are now rendered unusable. I really can't tell at what point in the past or after what action the crashes have started.

I know from searching the forum that at least on other user has experienced the same trouble. Are there even more crash-victims? Are there any hints for how to fix this problem? I mean hints apart from doing a complete reinstall of windows, sfp and anything else...

Thanks in advance
Peter

Well a complete re-install of Scope is no difficult thing. You could just try a re-install over the existing one and see hoe that goes, or delete Scope and re-install from scratch - just keep a copy of any projects and presets (and DSP files) you may have that are not part of the standard installation. Other than that it's not something i've heard of - the only crash i get is if i add and remove ModIII devices a number of times.

stardust,

scope.rgy is in your Scope folder already, no need to create it manually: it's where Scope stores the keys you've provided. But yea, that file can be recycled - re-imported after each install.

I would certainly make a backup. Also I've had to clean mine out in the past, due to the shuffling around of packages over the years (Pro-pack, the mix/synth packs etc). Well, not clean but consolidate I guess I should say...
