Silent crashes

[mgroves]

I've been using Carnac a bit for streaming on Twitch. However, it seems to crash (silently) at random. I don't see any error messages or anything when it happens. What can I do to help you diagnose this?

There are some files in \AppData\Local\CrashDumps

I managed to load a recent crach into VS 2019.

I then clicked on debug managed only - and got this error.

System.Threading.AbandonedMutexException HResult=0x8013152D Message=Leaked a Mutex! Source=<Cannot evaluate the exception source> StackTrace: <Cannot evaluate the exception stack trace>

this seems to have been reported is issue #169 - but I ran a 5 minute timer, so I'm wondering if the auto check updates from GitHub is causing this - and the 5 minutes seems conicidental? Interestingly the code looks like this :

I guess in the event of an error (like maybe my PC has a strange antivirus - like ESET - which just gets in the way) then I think the intention is to ignore the error? I guess that catch without an exception type does that (I've never tested that).

I'll test with the Auto Updte from GH turned off - see if that improves stability.

So I have been running Carnac for hours and it hasn't spontaneously crashed. Can I suggest deactivating the GH auto update off, restarting Carnac and seeing if that is any better?

Thanks a lot, I've turned off the auto update, it also works in my computer.
