Studio 2017 network version crashes

Hi all,

We are currently testing the Studio 2017 network version on an external desktop environment. Yesterday one of my colleagues and I were doing a big translation and when my colleague was using Studio 2017, it suddenly crashed. That happened twice. Today, I tried to recreate the same crash, and I think I succeeded. Working on the same files for translation, Studio 2017 crashed three times today.

This translation was a pretty big one, consisting of multiple word-files that were all put together in a Studio package. Most files did not pose a problem, the crashes all occurred when working on the same file. When we're working on translations, we always open all files in the Studio package at once. Of course, we were using upLIFT and our TM was a big one, consisting of around 400,000 TUs. Max. number of hits for concordance search was set at 15 to increase speed.

These are the crash reports:

Crash number 1:

Crash number 2:

Crash number 3:

As you can see, the crashes all seem to be caused by something else. Has anyone else ever seen these errors and are they related to Studio or to Windows (server)? It is odd that this error mainly occurred when working on one file, so the crashes might be related to this particular file. Then again, the last time I tried this particular file did not pose any problems. Could it also be that the TM is simply too large, causing issues? Or it might just be our cloud environment that is causing this issue.

I suspect when my colleague encountered these crashes, Studio was just autosaving, since she also got this additional message when opening the project again:

I think I read on these forums that this last error message is related to closing Studio while it was saving, corrupting the file.

Any help in solving this issue is greatly appreciated! :-)

  • Hi Paul,

    Haven't removed the TM yet. I thought about trying that, so will do that tomorrow. :-) Then I will also try to work with the project locally. Maybe there is something wrong in the TM, because yesterday when working on another project with the same TM in Studio 2015 Studio kept stalling too, and that ended after I removed the TM. Thanks so much for your suggestions and I'll let you know how it went. :-)
  • Hi Paul,

    Just did some checks again. My colleague on her computer switched off the TM and also removed it from the project and her Studio did not crash anymore. However, I also tried it myself again, on the computer of one of my other colleagues, and there Studio crashed again. Studio crashed with the TM switched off and later with the TM removed. However, on both occasions Studio crashed. I have also tried it on my own laptop, which is a slightly better one (more memory), and there I never ran into problems. No crashes occurred there. However, since we are working on an external desktop in the cloud with this Studio test, the specs of our own computer should not matter. Unless I am completely wrong on this. I also tried on our computer where we have installed Studio 2017 locally and the crash did not happen there either (this computer has the same specs as the ones of my colleagues). Any suggestion on what might be the cause of these crashes? Do you think it is Studio related or cloud related?

    Thanks so much again for your help and suggestions! :-)
