Unstable

[GHlightguy]

Is it just me or did Daslight 4 become incredibly unstable under Monterey? I'm getting endless crashes for no apparent reason. And once it crashes you have no choice but to do a reboot to get it to load again. I've even rebooted into safe mode and I still get crashes.

The other issue I'm having is if you load an audio file as part of a scene, it takes several seconds to start playing once you start the scene. Even stranger, if I run Daslight in Parallels, I don't get crashes, nor do I have the audio problem.

Here's hoping Daslight 5 brings back stability. Right now it's practically unusable on a Mac.

Hello,

We're sad to read about the issues you're experiencing. Thank you very much for reporting it, we're looking into it.

I have been keeping very detailed logs and doing my best to track down when and why it wants to crash. Rather than just complaining, I'm really trying to work out how to reproduce these issues. I'm digging through crash reports and seeing if there is a common thread.

My gut is telling me it's linked to a Rosetta 2 translation when using the Apple M1 silicon. My first indication of this is that there seems to be a delay in calling some of the core libraries. Thus when trying to play audio, it can take several seconds for the sound to start playing. The larger the audio file, the longer the wait time. It's almost like it's trying to buffer the entire file first. This is regardless of what audio file format is being used.

I have a feeling a component is acting up that may have been optimized for the Intel chipset and has become unstable because there isn't a universal binary.

II have a similar problem.

Because the official version always crashed on my Mac, I installed the current beta version from March 01, 2022.

I have now been able to patch two EUROLITE KLS 400. It works. I can add as many as I want.
If I want to add a EUROLITE QDF bar, DasLight4 crashes when I click on it.

I wanted to go back from CueLux to DasLight because the connection from VirtualDJ to CueLux via Midi doesn't work there.
And now DasLight is an even bigger disaster!

That's really no fun!

This post in the forum from 2019 brought the solution for me.

It was actually the Magnet App.

I closed the App and the official Daslight version from November 5th, 2021 is now running. I can finally patch now.
