Thread 'Render Process' has Hung....

[qballbandit]

Hello,
I get the below error, which kills startup of activities, and don't know what it means.
For instance: 3 days ago, I ran an activity in OR. Ran fine. Last night, tried to run it again, and OR crashed at the last bit of the progress bar while trying to start/open the activity. No chnages to the activity in any way with the MSTS AE.

Error: Orts.Viewer3D.Processes.ThreadHangException: Thread 'Render Process' has hung; the consistent stack trace is shown below:

I have had this happen on other routes/activities as well.

Looking for suggestions on how to troubleshoot the issue.

Thanks very much,

Missed seeing this one until today. Any chance you can zip a full log and post it here. As the error states, the Render Process has stopped, and watchdog has kicked in to kill the process. With the full log it may be possible to identify what is causing Render to choke.

[qballbandit]

I'll turn on logging and wait for it to happen again. The odd thing is, I can run activity "a" one day, and it starts no problem. The next day, it gets the Render choke.

Thanks very much baldwin.

[apco25]

I am getting this as well....can't we just have the watch dog timer "time" adjusted?

[baldwin]

There has to be a reason why the Render Process has stopped working. Extending the Watchdog timer may well only delay the crash, not solve the problem. A log from a crashed session would help in trying to identify where the problem is.

[qballbandit]

Why is "txt" listed as a valid extension in the Attachments/Manage Attachments, yet I can't upload a notepad or wordpad file?

[baldwin]

No idea Neil, but just zip it and attach it.
