Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (possible issues)

Hrm ok - I guess those two updates have been rolled into Win 10 Anniversary. I’m currently upgrading a couple more machines here hoping to reproduce it, but the installer’s been stuck on 99% for the whole day. It’s a known issue, but MS say to just wait for it!

Hey @brad,
I think, I played around with UI-Settings in options, before i had this Issue.
But i turned it back to default settings, I think.

Or is it anything wrong in options setting?

Hey All,

I think I might have figured this out. Windows 10 might have been a red herring. Anyone still having this issue, please try build 3207 and let me know if it helps.

Hi,

Trying this on both of my computers (both are now exhibiting this issue) and it appears to be resolved (will play about more over the next few days. Out of interest (as a developer myself) what was the issue?

And when would this be considered a stable release (next gig is three weeks away, so need to decide if it is a keeper or revert to 3200).

Both machines are WIN10 10586.545 5111 and when I tried to remove the KBs mentioned above the uninstall failed.

Cheers
Derek

Thanks @Derek

This issue was tricky to track down. Turned out to be this: when switching between a short song and a long song the right most range indicator was getting redrawn using the old (short) song’s time scale - putting it about 10 bazillion pixels off the right hand side of the screen. A failed clipping test in the invalidation/rendering code then caused it to try and create a 10 bazillion pixel off-screen buffer - which failed and threw that whole paint cycle out the window.

As for stable vs release, this is the only change between 3206 and 3207 so it should be stable - but I refuse to mark anything stable these days without it living in the wild for a little…

So, therefore, 3207 is a Feral !

Hi, Brad

Thanks, tracking down software bugs can be tricky, and I like having a mental library of prior issue cases to consider when I am stumped!

So far, so good on the “feral” release. I’ll do more testing this week as I get the current show built and start testing it.

Regards
Derek
