crash with Windows 10 and Public Build 2015.2646

For the crashes, were there any messages in your command window that opened in the background?

We have made quite a few updates to transitions since 2646. I suspect the scale can’t be 0, is to prevent a divide by 0 issue and is probably just a warning.

HI Rob, the command window never opened up.

The scale wasn’t zero, it was .10, the thing is, after the transition the code

timer.performWithDelay(1500, function() relocateplayer() end, 1)

never executed.

Thanks, Greg

Do you get the same behaviors with 27xx on Windows 7?

Generally if a line of code doesn’t happen, there was probably a fault that stopped that block of code. We would need to see the error. I know you said it was an error about not being zero, but there is usually a full back trace with an error message. We need the error copy/pasted, not hand typed.

If you can reproduce the error, it would be helpful.

I didn’t try any 27xx versions on Windows 7 yet. I’ll get to that this week.

Also, I’ll get the full error for you, that was just an example where the interpreter stopped executing on a transition, the ship shrunk and the call to relocate player never happened, so you were turned into a dot, albeit a powerful one :)

Corona didn’t crash, the app was still running, just the behavior became screwier and screwier.

Thanks, Greg

In Lua when there is a runtime error, the block that is currently executing. Other things will still run, like a button that executes a different function. So finding out what the runtime errors can help us track the problem.

If you go back to Windows 10, can you try some of the sample apps?

HI Rob, I will get back to do some testing with Windows 10 as soon as StellarTrek is stabilized again!

Thanks, Greg

I have the same problem with 2646. I tried running a number of samples, and SimplePool crashes immediately, in case that helps you pin down the bug.

Everyone,

The last release version of Corona (build #2646) will crash on the *release version* of Windows 10 if your app uses MP3 files. We’ve resolved this issue in daily build #2682.

It’s technically a bug in the release version of Windows 10’s DirectX audio decoders. As in it wouldn’t crash with the beta versions of Windows 10. But that’s life for you.
