Just wanted to follow-up and see if you were still having this issue? If you are, could you try updating to 5.1 Beta 13? We fixed a lot of the hook code, so hopefully your crashing will be all fixed up too :)

Ok, thanks, unfortunately that log doesn't show anything helpful either :(

I think we'll need to try disabling DisplayFusion features one at a time to see if the crashing goes away. It's a bit of a pain, but hopefully we can narrow it down to a specific feature and go from there.

Could you start by disabling the TitleBar Buttons? How long is it between crashes usually?


i will start with disabling the titlebar buttons once i get another crash.. i usually get them randomly.. ]]> RE: 5.0 beta 1 crash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#45 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:17:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#45 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks, unfortunately that log doesn't show anything helpful either :(

Can you enable the "Logging Trace Mode" in the DisplayFusion Advanced Settings, and then send another copy of the log when it crashes again?

Thanks!


do you want me to enable 'logging advanced mode' as well? ]]> RE: 5.0 beta 1 crash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#41 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:23:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#41 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks!

At any rate, we've made some changes for 5.1 Beta 1 that should hopefully help, so I'll be sure to let you know as soon as it's available to try out.

The only settings that might be affected by switching back to 4.3 would be the wallpaper settings. Everything else should be ok. DisplayFusion makes a backup of the settings any time the installer runs, so even if something gets messed up, you should be able to restore the backup after updating to 5.0 again :)


so just install 4.3 over 5.0? ]]> RE: 5.0 beta 1 crash https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#31 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 20:46:49 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/50-beta-1-crash/?ID=3e222edb-91d9-4836-b30b-5df02750d499#31 DisplayFusion The only settings that might be affected by switching back to 4.3 would be the wallpaper settings.

Ok, would you be able to try 4.3 anyhow? If it's something that broke between 4.3 and 5.0 Beta 1, we should hopefully be able to narrow down what change made it occur.

Ok thanks! We'll check this out.

In the meantime, do you remember if you were having this issue in 4.3? Or did it only start in 5.0 Beta 1? If you could try 4.3 again to confirm, that would be great!
