General Questions... (b3148)

Running the new 3.2.0 software, I've noticed a couple of things to bring to your attention.

For background...I had started a new show and merged in EVERYTHING from an old show file. Wanted to make sure there was no old garbage being brought in from simply loading an old show onto the new software.

With 3.2, I have noticed about every 4 or 5 boots, the loading of the show will completely hang the console when the splash screen says "Desktop process loading..." I know DMX is flowing because the fixtures will all move to home, my startup macro starts it's countdown...but it just sits there, never actually loading the show and I have to do a full power down. Sometimes it will do this 3 or 4 times and then load the show finally. Other times, I've had to go in and load a backup file to get into the show. Like I said, this happens every 4 or 5 boots of the console.

I have turned off Autolaunch to see if that would help and it didn't.
I have deleted startup macros to see if that was the culprit and it didn't help.
Just can't seem to put my finger on why...

Also, every time I shut down, I end up with a "wait/kill" screen for a little while before it will actually shutdown the console.

Not show stoppers in any way, shape or form, but it seems odd.

It's the show file that Chris has...

  • I am not 100% sure what is going on here Jon, but one thing that would be interesting to see is if turning off the DP8000 during console show load helps the console to be more successful loading the show. We are currently troubleshooting another show file right now that exhibits somewhat similar behavior in regards to not always launching cleanly. I am trying to draw some conclusions on that show file and right now what I am hypothesizing is the DP8000 connecting and loading so fast to the server that it is causing problems with desktop on the slower Hog 3. Let me know if this stabilizes show loads for you. This would be our first step at discovering some commonality between what you are seeing and what my test show is doing.
