Seems when I create a line in the Layout Generator it sometimes crashes WM2.

Hi Vorpal,

Can you provide some more information? For example, load up the Tutorial 5 example world included that uses line shapes – can you enter layout mode and manipulate them?

Most 64bit issues I’ve run into so far are driver-related, and are usually fixed by upgrading to the latest and greatest available drivers.

#3

I don’t seem to have a problem manipulating the existing line. But every so often when I create one as soon as I right click to finalize it, it crashes. It happens about every 3rd time on average.

I’ll update my drivers when I get back from vacation next monday.

#4

I spent an hour creating rivers last night with the line tool and I didn’t get one crash.

#5

Often with video-drivers issues, you may experience improved compatibility (but reduced display speed) by unchecking “Use Fastest Display Method” in the Preferences->Graphics Options tab.

#6

I updated my video driver and unchecked “Use fastest display method” and am still getting the crash after making a few lines. This is from the error log. I don’t know if this will help or not…

Just a suggestion: I we add a signature to our messages that contains the basic system information on your main WM2 computer, it makes it easier for everyone to compare what types of hardware/software is experiencing problems.
