=======================

I wasn't doing anything out of ordinary.
Btw I've posted a few of these threads and no one has replied, is anyone fixing these? or am I reporting it wrong? Sorry if I seem demanding which is not my intention, I just want to make sure these bugs get fixed.

I've had a look at your posts with no replies. The call stacks don't show much and you aren't able to reproduce. So apart from the information that there is an access violation somewhere in the code we haven't got much to go by (unless there's something I'm not seeing). Do you have the symbols file (.pdb) next to your exe?

As a general rule make sure it has occured a few times so you can give us some indication of how to reproduce.

Thanks for spending the time to report. It's just hard to fix with the information given.

Sorry, I'll try to reproduce it before next time.

I do have a .pdb file? Am I supposed to do anything with it?

And thanks for replying :) And sorry I'm not giving enough info.

I've been looking into why the stack traces are so barren... someone messed up when they built the 0.3.2 windows release  :look:  While the linker was generating a pdb, the compiler wasn't generating info for it, and so none of our symbols were in it. This is why the Windows functions are correctly displayed, but not the 'interesting bits' that we want.

I'm going to upload replacement exe, pdb & map files for 0.3.2, and I'm just now trying to coerce CMake into doing what I want, so the correct compile & link flags will be 'baked in' from now, and I wont be able to screw it up again ;)

For this one, I tried to look up the code address in a map file generated from tag 0.3.2, but I'd messed with flags by hand when building 0.3.2, and the address didn't make sense.

However, looking at the windows functions further up the stack, this looks like it was probably in the GUI code somewhere.

@Psychedelic_hands:
If you remember when this was, can you try to locate the crash screen-shot (they a date & time stamped now).
