EmberGen gets stuck during startup

Software Support & Suggestions EmberGen
1

Hello,

after a crash, EmberGen gets stuck during startup, before the project window shows up.
I would suspect it tries to recover the last project and ends up in a loop. Are there any temporary files I can delete?

Thanks
Helmut

Ok I figured it out. The [Window] settings in config.ini were invalid. Setting maximized to false and the x, y to zero fixed the issue.

[Window]
display_config = 132186328
maximized = false
x = 0
y = 0
width = 1707
height = 900

Thanks
Helmut

Hey thanks for the update, do you remember what these were set to when you first opened the config file? A rough estimate would help if you don’t remember the specifics

Hello notwillclarke,

this I do not remember unfortunately - I even do not remember if it was in fullscreen mode. Here are the last lines from logfie before it crashed:

followed by several NUL characters.

It is worth mentioning that I have a dual screen setup here. The main screen has a resolution of 3840x2160, the secondary screen has a resolution of 2560x1600.

I didn’t change the sceen setup recently.

Okay thanks for the details! I’ll have to notify the devs to see if there is anything actionable here.
