Using SU 8, SP 3.2
I'm still experiencing sporadic crashes of SU when running SP3.2. Not sure what's causing it. Below could be the issue, but want to see what you think.
We have a routine that is ontick, that calls a Ruby subroutine that is defined in a custom RB file that is loaded at start up. The subroutine opens an ascii text file and reads the values. Since it's ontick that this routine is called, this file operation happens alot.
Sometimes for no reason, SU just throws up a Microsoft C++ error and crashes. Sometimes it's a few frames in, sometimes it's 100's of frames in, sometimes it doesn't crash at at. But it occurs while the model is just sitting there, ticking away.
This didn't seem to occur on SU7 with last year's sketch up. But, we weren't looking for it till now. We had some crashes, but just attributed it to normal bug splats. However, now they are too frequent to ignore.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how we might debug it or what really might be causing it? Would there be a better way to have the subroutine check the values of a ascii file without doing it ontick?
Thanks.
