Waiting onAC14 Hotfix #1

[Aaron Bourgoin]

I'm starting to get vexed at the number of times in a day that AC14 crashes. I'm filing bug reports, but am just about ready to stop. Mostly the crash comes when AC is idling. Solo projects or TW - it matters not.

Command+S is my friend these days.

Just about time for a Hotfix don't you think?

[Stuart Smith]

We are having the same problems and have gone back to working in 13 to get work done.
I contacted support@graphisoft.com and our reseller.
On Friday, tech support sent an email saying our issue would be addressd in a Hotfix that should come out in "the next few weeks".
Fingers crossed.

I also strongly encourage saving often with the current release of 14.

Stuart,

I heard a similar thing from one of my contacts in Houston as well...

updated the Cadimage Tools yesterday. All of them.

ArchiCAD ran all night without a crash.

A just downloaded most recent C.I. D&W-14 tool last night and for now will get an error with default door handle in 3d. It's set to 0.0.
Easy fix, just up to some real number.

the idling ArchiCAD / overnight crashing has returned. 😞

Most of my crashes seem to be proceeded by memory warnings (which I think are totally specious given the 12Gigs of RAM on the machine and not much else running). I get one or more crashes a day, much more when intensively using the tool. It sort of presents as a memory leak: ie crashing gets worse the longer you have AC open. Therefore I would amend Karl's warning to read "quit often." This would be funner if AC was not such a slow loader.

Overall, I find the level of stability in this software to be unacceptable.

[Aaron Bourgoin]

Memory leaks seem to be pretty standard fare in a new application or a new release. Am I right to think that they would be patching the holes first and then working at the functional bugs?

I have been experiencing the CRASHING when AC14 is running in the background or siting IDLE, and when simply opening a settings window for a line or a wall or even a note. I has become so bad that I am looking to reinstall the entire AC14 from the CD.
What's interesting about this, is that it all started within a few hours of installing ACCESSORIES less than a week ago. I wanted to use the standing seam roof accessories, so I downloaded Accessories from the AC web site... and the accessories did not install correctly and I have been paying for it ever since. I have crashed 20 times in less than a week.
What's bad about this is that I have sent two emails to Tech Support about this and have not received one response.
I'm going to do the reinstall of AC from CD and will let you know if anything gets better.
