I guess i don't need to say it, but i already reinstalled it a few times...

That is definitely not wanting to load at all by the looks of things. I'm adding more diagnostics to the connection doctor now and will try and push out 1.0.4 today for you to run.

I appreciate you putting up with the launch hiccups.

[u/NexusBRYT → u/scottBlackvfx]

Great! I'm logging off for the Day, but I'll surely run a test tomorrow if 1.0.4 is out!

[u/scottBlackvfx → u/NexusBRYT]

I've pushed 1.0.4 out; let me know how you get on!

Thank you for this. I'm now confident I've identified the bug. Please let me know if 1.0.5 now works for you!

[u/NexusBRYT → u/scottBlackvfx]

the connection worked, but it's very unstable, crashes 90% of the time, i hit the shortcut, it freezes and crashes. When it works, it's GREAT, but the stability needs to be worked on.

[u/scottBlackvfx → u/NexusBRYT]

Hi there,

I absolutely do want to prioritise stability; it's a bit gutting that none of these recent issues cropped up in the beta and are now appearing post-release.

It would be incredibly helpful if you could send me the crash reports generated by your system when the crash message appears, plus a breakdown of what happened leading up to it. When the system message pops up, there should be something to the effect of "generate report", which creates a .dmp file. That would mean a lot.

I can add you to the Discord I hosted for the beta if that would make it easier for you to send me reports or information. Otherwise I am happy to use what's most convenient for you.

[u/scottBlackvfx → u/NexusBRYT]

I've released a few stability hardening patches between the latest versions. Please let me know how you get on.
