When clicking “Active” on the SICK TOP Touchdesigner immediately crashes. When using sickCore or sickEngine from the palette it does not crash, but also doesn’t give me any data or shows any errors. However if I scroll into the sickCore component so the SICK TOP is visible Touchdesigner crashes as well.
Perhaps this tip from the Sick TOP page can help you pinpoint the issue:
To obtain additional debugging and status information you can use the ‘TOUCH_TEXT_CONSOLE=1’ environment variable to see output from the SICK SDK in the console window. Note: this only works for SICK TOPs in the primary TouchDesigner project, there is no output for TOPs inside Engine COMPs.
TOUCH_TEXT_CONSOLE is a good idea since it is the only way the SICK sdk really outputs error information.
Did you get a dump file when the process crashed? If not, you could try using WinDbg as outlined here to catch the crash and create a dump file: Using WinDbg to Debug Crashes - Derivative
We might not be able to tell much if the crash is happening inside the SICK process, but it could give us something to go on.
