Had a problem of SM crashing while having more than one file open and switching to other things (browser, mail client, even explorer). Crash really seemed to have something to do with switching to other programs.
After that, SM must have left corrupted files back (had four things open or so), that it couldn't open upon startup and so quit itself again.
However, by doubleclicking a different osm, it would start proberly, AND open the backuped files that I had opened before...

I have had a few crashes when opening projects when theres projects already open not when switching to other apps though, do you ever get the error that when the auto backup (recovered) .osm loads you cannot use a midi keyboards midi in? that is very rare though but i thought i should quickly say about it. It can be fixed quite simply though by closing the file and then SM and loading a new schematic one or two times and it will return to normal, Slightly different bug but similar in a way.

I had it severel times that I couldn't use my BCR2000 Midi IN that hosts my midi keyboard. But that was not directly relating to crashes and went away after closing and opening SM

Hi skOre
What kind of schematics are they - all GUI, all sound, mixture? Can you repeat the problem. It *could* be something to do with closing direct sound or asio whic happens when you move between schematics or to another app. If this has only started happening recently then it might be down to the current instabilities in the sound engine that we're in th eprocess of fixing.
If it happens of just GUI schematics then that's a different matter so if you manage to repeat the crash I'd be very interested to know.
Tom, that MIDI problem sounds odd. Going to be hard to deal with as I've never come across that issue. Any more details you can provide would be really helpful. But I guess if it's a rare occurance that might be difficult.

Hi Malc, yeah its very rare malc it is not a structure based error as far as i know because it has happened with the example file before and basically its a normal crash then on loading SM again the Midi is blocked off and take a few loads to fix again. There is also another bug that is just as rare in that if auto recovery is on (mine is set to every 5 seconds) and have saved by the main save option and then after sometime have had a crash then it will give you the error report message and on the next load it will auto recover but will load a schematic about 2 saves before (much older schematic) which is quite weird, sort of like the crash has crashed the most recent recovery save i guess and again this will very rarely happen and is not to do with the schematics as far as i know. Thanks 🙂

I experienced it yesterday when I put together those module-packs. I had some stuff opened from time to time that included DS elements, but I don't think that its related to that...
