Also, in the past, as far as "lag" during production, Muvizu staff told me I think back when I did one of my KISS videos I had SERIOUS lag time messing everything up, and they said try working in UNLIT mode, and then revert back to LIT mode when rendering. It worked for me on that particular set, not sure if that's help you though. Good luck! - EEF

yes this is not the case here its related to the new timeline stuff and becomes an issue with large sets containing 100+ objects

Me again. I wanted to give you a quick heads-up on where we're at. We're hoping to get a new patch out early next week to fix the load/save errors and to fix the worst of the problems with the timeline.

After this next patch, we'll look at making further changes to the timeline to address some of your other issues.


Tres bon, tres tres bon. C'est magnifique. Bravo!

Filter opening with subsections collapsed,
And more improvements to follow!

Hi William,

Were you getting this crash with the version before the patch? We know a lot of people have been reporting this very same crash but for the life of us we can't work out what's causing it. We've tried it on numerous computers both in the office and at home, and we've never managed to repeat it even once. We know it happens, we just can't work out why and until we can find a computer to see it happen on, I'm afraid we're stumped. I can only apologise for the inconvenience and assure you that we're determined to fix it, so please bear with us.


In the meantime, could you give us some information about your PC. The operating system (eg Windows 7 64-bit), the amount of memory, the make and model of graphics card. That sort of thing. Could you also check that you've got the latest graphics drivers installed.

Yes I have been getting this since the first update of Play.

I ran a dxdiag...How do I upload it to you.

Directx 11
Windows 7 64 bit


I did uninstall everything.

Downloaded Muvizu again, refreshed MS stuff, .net C++ runtlme etc...

Posts: 396 		I've just had a breakthrough!

I noticed a while ago that a lot of the people reporting this bug have been using Muvizu in languages other than English. I'd tried setting Muvizu into all of our supported languages to see if that helped, but I still couldn't get it to crash.

After seeing William's DxDiag results in French, I thought I'd investigate that deeper and I've just completely reconfigured my Windows to French. Lo and behold, Muvizu crashes when I try to edit an object or double click the camera window!

So, the good news is I can see what the problem is and know how to fix it. Obviously this is going to need another patch, which we'll try to get out in good time.

In the meantime, I think you can get Muvizu to work by configuring your Windows to English.

To do this, go to the Control Panel and edit your Region and Language settings:





Then, set the Format to English:

Posts: 86 		Neil, I'm happy to hear this 'hopeful' resolve. I will wait for the fix, I am now so used to the French, I'll leave it and try the fix when it is available..

Thanks Again....

William

P.S A quick thought. When I install Muvizu I select English, although the PC, Windows O/S etc. is all in French ( the native install for France).

I installed the latest muvizu and saw some of the timeline changes, but my metropolis set (actually not as large as some other sets I have used) but it contains about 15 characters and a lot of lights is refusing to load.. well its loading very slowly its been half an hour and its at 79%.

I did manage to use rosie in my railroad junction set that loaded but its mostly just mesh. I was hoping I could post yay its fixed enough for me to build sets, but I dont think it is

Anyhow getting there slowly i see




err actually I changed my mind I think its usable now hehe. It finally did load and when i pressed the button to hide the rest of the stuff in the timeline that was animated it seemed to not have any lag at all so I guess even though it took 37 minutes to load that set after it loaded it was okay to use so yay for that.

thanks!


*cough* third edit ..
and then when I went to shut the program down it crashed :/
no messages just stalled and gave up running. Anyhow *cough* I think I am done posting about this now ^^

Urbanlamb, would you be willing to send me the set file so I can take a look at the crash and maybe even why it's taking so long to load? If so, please send it to bugs@muvizu.com and mark it for my attention. Thanks.

okay it wont fit in an email I will upload it somewhere as the site refuses my sets now and send a mail. Its something I wanted to rebuild and its kind of in a mess but I am using it or was. Most other sets are loading now within 10 minutes. Even if i am wrestling with the timeline now for the most part it was usable. Although I have to admit so far I am finding this new muvizu play to be more of a test of my will to put up with it then an experience where I am going to be able to use it with any skill. Again its the timeline its simply huge and so far i just can't really work with it with multiple items in it. However its usable but I can't use it to the proficiency I was too gangly still. I used it last night briefly and the only way i could make it viable is to use it one character or item at a time.

When I try to reset the track of one of my character's audio Muvizu locks up and I get the Windows <Program> not responding message. Windows 7 64bit home premium. Latsest Muvizu 64bit.
The set is the recently uploaded sahb set and the character is Alex.
