It would be helpful if you click the details button on that Exception window, so you cn provide the stack trace as well.

Looks like a crash in the videodriver of your system. Did you try to update the videodriver? The controls in the UI, devexpress controls, use direct2d by default, which relies on the GPU.

yeah, as mentioned, updated the driver. It's not that I'm planning to do so everyday, noticed while other app recovered, designer didn't. But that's nothing special though, just wanted to share. Thank you! simple_smile

Sorry that our stuff crashed too. We've been using direct2d now for a couple of versions and performance is in general better, but things like this makes it a bit of a problematic affair.

We'll see if we can make this configurable, might not be possible but we can try. GDI+ might be a tad slower but at least it keeps on working wink

Oki, please ping me when I can test the VR version, heard that experience is immersive. Maybe finally would be able to get some sense from all those entities I've created, you know, the big picture stuff simple_smile
