Don’t want to take over this thread but I’m in the same boat. TD is crashing with no report.
Build: Commercial 2021.14360
Can share the .toe
Runs 24/7 and crashes about once every 3-5 days.
Hi @massta that thread was from a couple of years ago and your issue sounds different so I split this into a new bugs post.
A reproducible crash every few days certainly sounds like a memory leak. To confirm this, enable the “Commit Size” column in the Details tab of the Task Manager (You’ll have to right click on the column headers and ‘Select Columns’ if you haven’t used Commit Size before).
Watch this commit size number for TouchDesigner. Is it increasing after a few hours, a day, 2 days?
Hi Ben,
Commit Sizes:
Lowest seen: 3,509,960K (3510mb), typical on reboots
Highest seen: 3,808,128K (3808mb), while TD still running
Possible TD crashing point: 4280mb, happens on the 3rd day of running non-stop.
Note: TD closes, there is no freeze.
We increases the Page File size from 4280 to 12,288 but still crashing every x3 days. Not sure if there is something else we can do or simply restart the machine nightly. Now that we increased the Page File size, is there a crash dump file saved?
Just want to add that we are restarting the PC every morning and no crashes so far.
It can be helpful to leave “Task Manager” open(Windows) or “Activity Monitor”(Mac) all the time; check CPU & MEM usage at beginning and end of each day. Besides TD is anything else creeping up? You can alt-tab/cmnd-tab away from TD to check real quick, then alt-tab back to TD so it resumes full screen perform mode w/o having to re-init perform mode.
also if you’re interested in getting to the root of this, you can attach WinDbg to the TouchDesigner process, this will enable you to generate a .dmp file after it has crashed
