Extempore instantly crashes on Windows 10 (64-bit)

[beatthe...@gmail.com]

Hi! I am really interested in trying Extempore, but sadly I haven't gotten it to start at all; using the precompiled binary for windows 10 (and 7 also), it crashes instantly as soon as I run Extempore.exe. It doesn't really give any feedback, but I included a screenshot of what it looks like when this happens here:

I would really appreciate some help figuring this out; I sadly don't know much about compiling, or else I'd try doing that myself. I just really wanna try this thing out!

Let me know if there's any more details/logs I could provide from anywhere :)

Hi Allie

Hmm, that's no good that it's crashing. I'll try and put together a new
binary for you to try. Can you tell us a little more about your
computer?

Thanks for the quick response! I built my computer myself, so it isn't of any particular make. It's using a gtx 760 and an i5 4570, with 64 bit windows 10 as I mentioned.

Not sure which info you need, but here are a couple spec overviews from msinfo and Speccy. Let me know if there's something more you need to know!

What does running

$ extempore.exe --print-devices

show in the log?

It just crashes instantly, without printing anything to the terminal. Not sure what's up with that :(

Any update on this? Sorry, I'm a bit eager to try, hehe :)

Hi Allie

Sorry about the delayed reply.

I was talking with Andy about this issue the other day and the one other
thing to try would be running Extempore with the --noaudio flag, so

$ extempore.exe --noaudio

We *think* there's something going wrong with the audio initialisation
code (I assume that playing other audio/video files works fine on your
box) so this might help.

Cheers,
Ben

Well, it actually output text without crashing this time, but I don't think the text will be very enlightening:

D:\Music Making\# Livecoding\Extempore-0.7.0-win10\extempore>extempore.exe --noaudio

Sorry, the "noaudio" dummy device isn't yet supported on Windows.

Yeahhh, not super helpful, lol :P

Yes, sorry, I forgot this was a UNIX only option.  If I can find some time I'll try to send you a debug build.
