Forum: MAC Version Technical Support - Topic: VDJ 6.0.2 crash during progam start [FIXED]

Hi,

since a few days I face a strange problem when opening VDJ - the problem occurs not every time, it's sporadic. The program starts an closes immediately (crashes). The system message that appears after the crash offers a restart option. When doing this restart the program opens again. After this in some cases the problem is gone - but sometimes it's necessary to repeat this procedure 3, 4, 5, ... times until the program runs "stable".

I use VDJ 6.0.2 on a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard and a Hercules RMX. I have the latest drivers installed. The problem occurs sporadically, even with Airport switched off (this was a hint in the german mac forum). After the upgrade to Snow Leopard the problem did not occure initially, but did never occure under Leopard.

I hope someone can help me here... Thanks in advance!
Jacq

Hi there, did you get anywhere with this as I've just bought V6.2 and it crashes on My Mac and my brother's Mac both running snow leopard?

Thanks from Alan

Hi,

not yet. I need to say that it does not crash anytime. It comes and goes from time to time. But I opened a ticket because of the problem and hope to receive a solution soon!

An additional hint I can give is another trad that appearently deals with the same problem:
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/116737/MAC_Version_Technical_Support/Vdj_6_0_2__Snow__Rmx_crash_on_startup_.html

Nor really a solution yet, but may be helpful for you!

Cheer,
J

I get the same thing too, it eventually works, but stuff like that makes you nervous when you're preparing for a gig!

pc welcome you all back win 7 you can put win 7 on the mac i saw win 7 on a mac book pro today at apple store

No way ;o) you can't beat a mac with osx in performance and handling!

But it's true - it does not give you such a stable feedback when the app crashes 2 or 3 times at startup. But I believe this bug will be removed and it's not necessary to buy an additional win7 and run it on my mac ;o)

Just to complete this tread for some users reading this:

The reported problem is fixed in VDJ version 6.0.3. Thanks to the dev team!!!
