Daslight 5 crash open saved project

[woehrlea]

Daslight 5 finale version is crashing open a saved project. I just get it to run using the beta version 50b06. I like to use the project along with the final version, because I spend many hours on this project. Actually I cannot atache the project file to this request. This type of file seems not be permitted to upload.

So what options exists to solve this problem?

Setup:
LR512 via USB to Laptop connected, full life-time and one artnet licence
Laptop with local network via cat 5 cabel connectet, access to the internet is ok
For the DMX Singal I'm using a Showtec NET-2/5 Pocket Artnet-Node
ping to the Artnet-node is ok

Best Regards

Hey,

I've some issues with that as well, sent the developers an email about that with a video and more details. For me it only happens when the artnet device (some showtec net-2/3s in my case) is actually present on the network.

To "fix" it, you can open your `.dvc` file in a text editor (create a backup first), then search for <DEVICE and remove the devices from the file. You should now be able to open the file again in Daslight. However, you do have to go into the settings and reconnect your devices. (you probably have to repeat this everytime, until there's a fix ofc )

Thanks for your answer.

mean I will take out the whole section?

I kept the following the rest I took out:

</DEVICES>

I was confused all the time, why I see the LR512 two times one with serial number and one without the serial number. This happened because I configured the LR512 in WIFI DUAL Mode, so Daslight was connected via USB und via WIFI-Network to the LR512. This is fixed now as well, I configured WIFI in Station Mode (hidden).

First look is fine now.

Unfortunately, this is still an issue in the latest version (5.0.1). Daslight crashes on launch / loading the project when the ArtNET devices in the DVC file are present on the network. This prevents me from actually using it in practice since we use Daslight in an environment where non-technical people need to be able to start the software.

Can you send us the project file ?
Thanks

Sent you an email, thx for looking into it!
