Windows 10

[TattieBoJangle]

Just a heads up guys as I know some of you will be upgrading to windows 10 on the 29th, after installing skyline it will tell you there is 5 updates during this time don't click away from skyline or even minimise it as it will cause it to crash and for the update to fail.

[SolarPortal]

thanks for that tattie. Its good information to know.
Also cool that skyline runs on a windows 10 machine

[AuShadow]

ahh that explains things, i clicked away to keep working whilst it updated, now i know, didn't crash just says not responding but task manager still shows skyline using .6MBps and up to 1.2MBps at times so might leave it for a bit and see what happens

[risc]

Im new here I download the demo install and start to getting familiar with the engine but is crashing a lot I have a windows 8.1 dual Xeon with a Titan Video Card hd capacity 20 tb im using unity 5 and UE4 and is not crashing so I think it have something to do with Skyline
can I get some idea where to look
thank you

Hi risc,

Welcome to Skyline

Firstly, I'd better point out that Skyline is still in Beta, so there will be some issues when compared to UE4 & Unity! I used to run Skyline fine on my machines under Win 8.1, so would really need some more info about the crashes

Secondly, the best place for checking what Skyline was doing when it crashes is in a file called "Skyline_TechSupport.txt", which can be found in the "Win32_Release" folder of your Skyline installation, which should be somewhere similar to:

Code: Select all

D:\Aurasoft\SkylineSDK\Skyline\Win32_Release


If you find anything odd in that file, feel free to post here and either the Devs or one of the regulars will answer ( usually within a few hours depending on your timezone ).

Also, you could check any Windows Error Reporting files generated by Windows? These should be in:

Code: Select all

Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\


Hint: Look for files that have "AppCrash_Skyline_Editor" in the name.

HTH

Hi risc and welcome to the Forums We hope you join us on this journey to an easy to use game engine

thanks shando for the help
Can i ask you to upload the "skyline_techSupport.txt" and the "Skyline.log" to help hunt the problem. You can pm me or email "support@aurasoft-skyline.co.uk" and i will respond there. But dealing with it on the forums is also fine and will help other users who encounter these issues as well.

If it is a process that can be replicated by ourselves, then we may be able to help fix the problem quicker. A video is also welcome as this shows your procedure instantly.

We will all help you get through this problem so you can enjoy skyline even more.

Please note: the free version is 4 versions out of date compared to the commercial version, so it is lacking a lot of cool features and fixes that make it more fun and more stable. we will be updating the free version soon though

Second note: With that gfx card, you will want to lock the fps to 60 to stop your card going into overdrive. This can be done by clicking on scene settings usually located in the bottom right of the default layout. When the panel is open, you should see a property near the top of the panel called "Lock FPS" with a number 60 next to it. Check this box to lock the fps to 60 or uncheck to get all frames, but on big cards this could send them into overdrive lol

[risc]

Hey thank you for all your tips, yes I know Skyline is on the process of development I mention unity and ue4 to let you know those are running find on my system not to compare features. I will upload those files as you request it.
Thank you

[SolarPortal]

no problem and thank you, it will help if the files are uploaded. I think it would be good to get to the bottom of this problem you are facing.

[risc]

this is some of the last line on the log how do you attach a txt file here.
Thank you

Hi Risc and welcome to Skyline hope you enjoy your time with us in the Skyline Journey

Thank you for the log. We will have a look this but if you can send us the Skyline_support.txt that would be very helpful

Note: You can attach files to the post by selecting the "Upload Attachment" tab next to the post options located under the text window.

[SolarPortal]

by any chance were you switching between forward and deferred rendering?

Deferred lighting does not accept a directional light as of yet and all directional lights must be removed from the scene before deferred mode can be activated.

I am not sure what is crashing for you as you have not told us what you were doing at the time of crashing. Can you please give us a little more information as to what you were doing or attempting to do when you were getting crashes as this will determine where the fault can be and what fix we need to apply

Thanks again and we will help you get through this error

[risc]

I don't see that tab to attach any file StarFire sorry, on Options I have attach a signature but none it said (files)
thank you

[risc]

Yes SolarPortal I was switching between forward and deferred rendering.
Thank you

[SolarPortal]

have you got a dropbox or onedrive account that you could upload the files too?

[risc]

But also it crash open the editor only and I have to start it again on second time came through sometime I get a unhandled win32 exception on the Skyline editor.exe error no. 8916 it maybe a new instance of MS VS 2010??? could be that??? I have MS Visual Studio install on my system.
Thank you

[SolarPortal]

when it crashes on startup as you have mentioned, please send us the "Skyline_TechSupport.txt", "Skyline.log" and "Skyline.cfg" in an archive either through a dropbox, onedrive or some other form of upload, we can then take a look and see where it breaks on startup.

Also, you could check any Windows Error Reporting files generated by Windows? These should be in:

CODE: SELECT ALL
Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

Hint: Look for files that have "AppCrash_Skyline_Editor" in the name.

Also, can you send the file Shando mentioned at the start as this might also help us

Here are some more tips to try after you have sent us the files listed above:

• Can you also go into the "$(SkylineSDK)/Skyline/Data/Resources" and delete both these files exactly:
  "SkylineResources.cfg" & "SkylineMaterialResource.cfg", but you must leave the one with base in the name intact.
• In the "Win32_Release" folder please delete the "Skyline.cfg"
• Then try and reboot skyline.

Thanks and i look forward to hearing from you and seeing these files

Edit: Sorry, i just saw your post:

Yes SolarPortal I was switching between forward and deferred rendering.

ok, i hope the deferred answer helped you. Are you still getting the strange boot up errors?

Note: Deferred Rendering does work, but it still has a lot of development required for many things. Forward is the best to use for now

thank you for your kind message. We are aiming and trying to make skyline the most stable we can but things like windows 10 always throw a spanner in the works lol

In V0.9.6, we have upgraded the particle editor to have a more complete workflow and to be easier to use and it doesn't crash as much as it used to if any now

Thank you all for the wonderful support your have here.

Your welcome , we feel it is a necessary part to our game engine services for users to be in contact with the developers and to be able to add their input or get direct help

Hi risc,

I believe that the *paid* version is currently at 0.9.6, whereas the *free* version is 0.9.2 (soon to be upgraded)

Skyline currently uses DX9 only, though the Devs are looking at upgrading this once they sort out the current list of issues/tasks

They do have a Trello board which lists all the wip:
