windows simulator crashes when using sound files

Audio and Graphics
#1

The windows simulator crashes sometimes when using sound files.

Where can I find the crash log file to report a bug?

Hi @martin189,

Before you file a bug, can you show some code and describe the issue in detail? Which version of Windows? What audio format are you playing? Do you receive an error in the Simulator console screen?

Thanks,

I’ll try to extract the problem (I sure cannot share the whole app here).

Here’s the windows (Windows Vista Business Service Pack 2 32bit) log entry:

Faulting application Corona Simulator.exe, version 13.0.1196.0, time stamp 0x52168bb8, faulting module Corona Simulator.exe, version 13.0.1196.0, time stamp 0x52168bb8, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0006fbf7, process id 0x1458, application start time 0x01ceab0404dff0f1.

No Corona error screen, nor a console output, just the usual Windows error dialog saying the process has stopped working.

So, there is no crash log file?

I guess it was an audio handle which was not set to nil after the usage of dispose(). However, a crash (both, simulator and Android device) because of that is not very user friendly. A warning on the console + stack trace would be helpful.
