Cool VL Viewer forum

The Cool VL Viewer should never open the crash reporter unless you manually changed the crash reporting setting (it makes no sense for a TPV to send debug info to Linden Lab, since they don't provide any support for TPVs...), but the new packaging method indeed provides a crash reporter that could be used, unlike Snowglobe's.

Nevermind SecondLife.dmp is enough for me to see where things happened. Apparently, this is again a Multi-threaded curl issue (although the viewer uses the "fixed" code that LL uses in their newest viewers). "Congrats" !.... You are the first person to report such an issue since the new multi-threaded curl code was adopted...

Anyway, and until some truly fixed code is released by LL, simply go to the "Advanced" menu (type CTRL ALT D if it doesn't show in the menu bar), "Network" sub-menu, then un-check the "Multi-Threaded Curl" and restart the viewer. You should not encounter such crashes after that (but you might get a short "hiccup" in the frame rate each time a new curl request is done).

It could be interesting as well to test LL's latest viewer and see if you get the same crash with Multi-threaded curl active, in which case you could open a JIRA issue for LL's viewer: that would help getting a fix faster, because I develop and use the viewer under Linux and never see this kind of crash happening here (and I can't track down a bug I can't reproduce)...

well
i can only tell you what it did
and it opened a crash report.

ok...i'll see if that'll work.
i'll keep you posted
lol
ty so far
ev

awesome
no crashes so far and i found a storm jira handling it already:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1562?

might be interesting to follow that one.

Good...

Excepted that this issue is closed already... It was closed when LL "fixed" the curl code (apparently, they didn't fix it "hard enough"). If you can find out that you get the same crash with LL's viewer on your system, then you could reopen that issue...

i will first try to have it bulletproof on the cool viewer
if the no-crash-state will persist in the next hour or so i'll install the new v3 viewer and see what'll happen with that option on.

i am already extremely happy as it is now
hehe
ev

its nastily looking like i can reproduce that bug on V3. i'll do a few more tests.

I can't say I'm surprised... It's the same code in action in both v3 and the Cool VL Viewer.

i expected no less...i made it 4 hours crashfree in heavy conditions on the cv...still testing...
i'll test v3 more after my night...means around midnight our time.
ev

damn...it were a pretty busy fortnight...nevertheless...no viewer crashes anymore, mind! i'll do a clean install of v3 this afternoon and will try to reproduce it. tho i already tried it out and it crashed almost instantly.
ev

can someone tell me where to find that 'multithreaded curl' setting on V3?
cos i tried to check to turn it off in order to reproduce the bug but i cant find it under network in the dev menu
