DPAD - client died on me....

[Assimilator1]

Yesterday DPAD died on me & Windows through up the 'encountered a problem...' messege.
If I restart DPAD this happens & I get the windows error messege again

Muon1 started: configuring...

Where those 2 squares are i get to shaded in squares in DPAD.
Wth is going on?😕
I tried deleting results.dat but it had no effect.

Anyone get an idea?

I had the same thing happen to me. I downloaded the newest version patch and that seemed to work.

I've got the latest veriosn ,4.43c.

It was ok for many weeks

There is a new optimization, PhaseRotD, and your text indicates that is where the problem starts.

My client wasn't running the PhaseRotD (didn't have the lattice file in the lattice folder), but as soon as I updated it and it loaded, Muon1 crashed hard.

so I removed it from the lattice folder. My config.txt tells DPAD not to auto download new lattices, so it won't come back.

Thanks Jon 🙂

Is your config always set to not to auto download new lattices? if so don't you miss out on anything?

I wonder if Stephen is aware of this crashing problem?

[edit]
Seems to be working now 🙂 :-

Yes, I do miss out on new optimizations as they are released, but I check the Muon1 website, so it hasn't been an issue.
It's just that some new optimizations are a little buggy when first released (like this one), so early users can have problems.

Fair enough ,btw it somehow managed to d/l that lattice file again even though mine's set to '0' 😕

[edit]Turned out that due to a minor alteration i made to the lattice d/l line DPAD didn't recognise it ,& therefore created a new line with d/l enabled:roll:
