Don't know why I waited this long to report this, mabey I was waiting for someone else to say something, but mabey Im the only one...

Upon closing Renoise (ever since the first 1.8 betas), Renoise hangs and freezes untill I click it's Taskbar tab (Win-XP). Then it will close.

While its hanging Renoise reports "Closing the application" but it does nothing.

This only happens after I've loaded a Song. It will close fine if there is no song loaded.

Oh and this is a big problem if Im working in Full-Screen mode because then I can't click the Taskbar Tab to snap out of it... In that case I need to ctrl-alt-del and close it thru the task manager.



Other than that Renoise totally F-ing rocks.

Happy Holidays and Thank You!

Ok did some research.

Took some advice from another thread and looked at my log. file.... its HUGE. And it has a bunch of repeated "Exception: Loading aborted" entries.

Anyways, I trouble shot the problem and found that it had something to do with my VST folder.
Under closer investigation of my VSTs I found that its directly linked to the Sytrus VSTi.

If I start a new song and do nothing but load an instance of Sytrus, Renoise wont close.

I've just now opened and closed a bunch of Songs with and without the Sytrus VSTi. I've also tried an instance of various other VSTi's and found that only those Songs with Sytrus loaded hangs on closing.

I thought it might be related to Renoise 1.8 because I've only recently been using Sytrus.

Any thoughts?

It's probably my problem. Mabey I should take it up with Image-Line?

Yes, please. We wont be able to do much about this without their help. I will contact them as well.

I have tried this now here, but can not confirm this with Sytrus 2.0. Which version have you tried? Can you really reproduce this by only starting Renoise, loading Sytrus and then closing Renoise again?

I did that test for myself (I'm not a2n3d7y, b.t.w. ) using Sytrus VSTi 2.3 and can confirm here:

Opening Renoise 1.8RC1 blank and creating a Sytrus 2.3 instance went ok, but while exiting Renoise freezed. (Don't get confused with the Sytrus path:

D:\Audio\FLStudio5\Plugins\VST\OtherVST\Sytrus2.0\Sytrus VSTi.dll...

in the logs below. It's version 2.3 - installed into an blank directory named Sytrus2.0.)
Anyway, here is the log:

Still doesnt freeze here, even after using Styrus 2.3. Here is what I do:

- Open Renoise RC1
- Load "Sytrus VSTi" into instrument 0
- Close renoise by hitting the X button on the top right

Exactly what I did. Except that Renoise freezed upon close (my first log).

Ehm, on my PC @ work the behavior is quite different:
- I open Renoise.
- I load Sytrus.
- Then I hit the x button.

Nothing happens (Renoise freezes, i.e. it uses a lot CPU). I could wait seconds... minutes it doesn't matter, but if I click elsewhere in the WinXP task bar, Renoise shuts down properly.

Can you confirm that?

[taktik]

Wow, indeed. I will contact Imageline about this. Its freezinh somewhere in the plug, so we cant do something here (at least not without their help).

Ok, I made a post over at KVR.

[a2n3d7y]

BUMP!

the NEW version of Sytrus (2.5 released today) still freezes Renoise (1.8 rc3) on close.

Yes, experience the same behavior. However, after saving if you mouseclick ousite of Renoise' window (or in Fullscreen mode make an ALT-SHIFT to focus another application), Renoise closes properly.

[taktik]

All we can do here is to report this again. Could you report (or bump) this issue in the KVR forum? Then I will nag the plug devs again.

Yes, I already did.

Fixed!

New Sytrus Version 2.5.0.10

[Rondomat]

Confirmed!
