Application closed without crash or error

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Yesterday one of my TouchDesigner projects seemed to magically close itself. It was very odd - it had been behaving completely normally all day, and totally randomly disappeared.

There were three windows open at the time, a 1080p perform window, 1080p separate window, and 7680x2160 separate window. All disappeared simultaneously. No error was thrown, no crash file created, and there was zero activity in Activity monitor that correlated with the time of the problem.

System is Windows 10 LTSB, with an M5000 GPU, running 2020.24520. I haven’t been able to reproduce it, or even find any evidence that it even occurred other than having seen it with my own eyes.

Anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any tips from preventing it from happening again?

Were you doing something at the time or was it just running?

What I do in that situation is try to recreate the scenario. Can be quite time consuming, but there aren’t a lot of other options.

You could write to a log file if there is anything that might be suspect and worth monitoring… data that might be increasing in size, or anything automated that might try to access an invalid object like a node that’s being deleted.
