After playing around with Krakatoa for a bit I almost regularly experience severe system crashes. So far that Cinema freezes and I can’t even shut down the process anymore, resulting in the need to restart the system.
It usually didn’t happen at a specific point, so it’s difficult for me to report a concrete bug, but I was wondering if anybody else has been running in such whole-system-crashes? I will keep on working with it in the next days and see if I can figure out what could be the trigger for it. (I’m having the suspicion that it might be connected with the fact that I’m working on a very much customized non-standard MAC system at the moment…)
Hi Matthias,
most Crashes I get are just like the ones you describe.
I’m still trying to figure out a pattern, but seem to related to the initial particle generation process.
Are you using X Particles?
Also, I get crashes sometimes when I interrupt a Krakatoa render. Again in the generation process (or should I say the memory allocation process)…
I think we need to test specific setups to come to a conclusion.
I would suggest that everyone testing Krakatoa C4D follows noseman’s example and enters the system configureation in the profile’s signature area so we don’t have to ask.
I am getting no crashes on Windows, but more than 50% of our Beta sites are on OSX. So knowing the OS, version etc. and the other plugins you are using would be very helpful. Also, I don’t have X-Particles yet, so I cannot exclude the possibility the crash is related to it…
