If there is anything that can be done please let me know.

The log file you attached is not very useful since it does not correspond to the log of a crashed session...

Try clearing your cache and see if the crashes still happen.

Most likely an issue with buggy ATI drivers again. That's Catalyst 9.3, isn't it?

Try to disable Catalyst A.I. in your Windows graphic settings and disable VBO in SL graphicw / hardware settings.

Also try to revert to an older driver that has working OpenGL support. Everything from official Catalyst 7.12 onwards is broken.

Try 3rd party DNA drivers 8.12 that backport to 7.11 OpenGL.

I've been having similar troubles with not able to TP to my home point. I'm able to tp to the sim next to it and i'm able to log into another sim but trying to get into my home crashes the client. I've switched back to the standard SL client and I can log in with no problem, but otherwise it just won't log in at all with CV

If you have an X series card please give that one a try. It will be a bit slower but hopefully more stable:

(just replace the exe in your CoolViewer directory)

Mac OS 10.6.2 / CV 1.23.5 (3)
Regular sudden crashes
Just had 3 consecutive ones

I have copied the crash report & thought it too long to post
but have it on file if anyone understands & can help

Thanks


MAKE THAT 6 CONSECUTIVE CRASHES
After having generally consistent use since installation -
hours online daily & maybe only crashing once per day

It looks like a bad installation... I'm alas unable to support you, since I'm not the builder for the MacOS-X binaries (I don't even got a MacOS-X system to test it on): I'm trying to convince Hyang Zhao (the builder for MacOS-X Cool SL Viewer) to post a "MacOS-X installation howto" on this forum. For now, please refer to Hyang's blog

contact me inworld about crashes.
