On exiting, my program is occasionally crashing - especially if clicking the window's close button when the program has just started.

I tried this with a completely new, empty project. All I did was add an End command before the loop. When running it several times, sometimes it exits normally - but occasionally it crashes, as seen in the picture attached.

The 'problem signature' is:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: Tables.exe
Application Version: 0.0.0.0
Application Timestamp: 59944d9e
Fault Module Name: XAudio2_7.dll_unloaded
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 4c0641e5
Exception Offset: 5472a5e0
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Data: 00000008
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
Locale ID: 2057


Is this a bug, do you think? My installation seems normal, and this didn't happen with the previous version of AppGameKit (Currently using build 2017.08.16).

Ta!

James

Direct X shouldn't be referenced in the latest version. Looks like it still is?

DirectX is used for many things on Windows, graphics, sound, input. We use OpenGL for graphics but DirectX for audio.

In this case it seems to be a bug in Windows prior to Windows 8 that the DLL is being unloaded before it should be. Try the attached version that contains the recommended workaround for this and see if it works.

Did this fix it for you Jambo B - I've not tried it yet (other things I'm looking at at the moment) but would be good to know if this works... I will get round to it though as Paul has kindly offered a potential solution!

Ach, Paul - I should've said earlier - I'm on Win7, 64 bit. The version that you (very kindly ) attached was the 32 bit version. The file 'Windows64' seems to be the one which appears in my program's folder on compilation. I've run the program (as detailed above) a few times and the crash still happens.

Apologies for the confusion.

I've attached the 64-bit version with the same fix, hopefully it will solve the problem.

Well, that seems to have fixed the problem. I've been pressing F5 for about 10 minutes now, and the app exits gracefully every time.

Thanks very much,

James

Great news - does this mean it can be implemented in the next release? Guess so.
