Max MSP decides to freeze when i try to open my huge patch?
Hi there,
I've been working extensively on a Max patch which runs a quiz (using arduino for button input etc etc).
Max 7 on windows has been working flawlessly since I started working, but around 10 minutes ago my pc did not open it correctly. Instead it just shows the Max console and freezes, trying to open my patch.
I did a quick test on my macbook which seems to run it just fine, what could be the problem and how can i fix this?
I attached
- Black Box v1.3 -> The file that started freezing
- Black Box v1.3_test -> Where removed the last added objects to see if it worked, but no succcess
Some help would be greatly appreciated, thanks ;)
I can open it without crashing but then I am to loading all the objects.I had a similar crash happening when opening my patches. While I did nothing wrong I think the problem was that I was loading things that relied on others. For example i had a join object that should receive 4 lists, however, the lists did not come through in an orderly fashion so max would try to send out an incompleet join. The crash was the result. I think you might have something similar heer: you are loading stuff that relies on each other and you are loading heavy stuff: maybe you can set a delay for the sound files so they wil only load at the end? defer low can delay those load messages until the end of the loading chain.
