VST export freezes on Windows

#1

I’m using the latest release 2.9.216 on Windows 11.
Exporting as VST Synth works fine until I don’t compile or play the cound file. After compiling / playing the export freezes and I need to restart Cabbage.

#2

Hi @giohappy. I won’t be able to test this until next week. Have you tried stopping the instrument before trying to export? I don’t think I’ve ever had to do this, but still, I wonder if it will make a difference?

#3

I’m having the same issue. Windows 11, same version

#4

I doesn’t make any difference.

#5

I’ll try to find a windows 11 machine to test this on, but it won’t be until early next week :+1:

#6

If needed I can give you remote access to mine. I jave built a debug versioni from master and I could reproduce it.

#7

Cool. Can you build a debug version from develop? If so, can you launch Cabbage in the debugger and post the stack trace once it crashes? That would be helpful :+1:

#8

It doesn’t crash, it freezes. I need to find out where it gets locked.

#9

I cannot reproduce it at the moment, very strange… I will try again later.

On the other hand I’m getting exceptions when I try to enter Edit Mode, but this is unrelated and it might be a problem with my debug build

#10

@rorywalsh it hangs here. And I have to stop the debugger since everything is freezed.

BTW it only happens on one of my PCs, both Windows 11. That’s really odd.

#11

Windows 11, long standing bug… after export VST need to restart Cabbage or it will hang on next save,load,export.

#12

Thanks @giohappy, looks like an issue with modal dialogues. Let me try some things…

#13

I just removed the modal loop that was being used on export and replaced it with a more modern construct. Some modern OSs no longer permit modal loop mechanisms, maybe Windows is catching up. Can you try it and let me know. If it works better I will go through the source and remove all modal loops.

#14

@giohappy, @Kzz, just a follow up on this. I tested now with a Windows 11 VM and I get no freezes with the latest dev build. So I think it’s sorted now. Thanks again @giohappy for helping me locate and fix the issue. :+1:

#15

sorry @rorywalsh, I missed your previous message. I, could have tried it before…
I will give it a try asap. Thanks!
