GUI freezes when I hit run #23

Closed alcino closed 2 years ago

alcino commented 3 years ago

Seems similar to #16 . When I start the program I can move around, zoom in/out, load different sims, etc. When I hit run the interface freezes and the simulation doesn't run either. The menus still work but if I try to quit it gets stuck in an autosaving prompt. I checked the log and nothing seems funky, it registers sim start/stop commands fine and also registers camera movements, even though they don't happen.

I have a GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, which I know is less than the recommended memory, but I don't see why it would fail entirely since the task manager shows only ~2GB of video memory being used. I already tried reducing the number of blocks and threads, to no avail.

This issue could be related to https://github.com/chrxh/alien/issues/21 ? I'll provide a compiled version of the automatic tests soon.

Copied from #21: The installer of the latest version 2.5.3 now provides ~ 300 compiled integration tests. Could you please run them (Tests.exe in the bin folder)? Alternatively, you can compile them for yourself (it's the Tests project). Possibly 1-2 tests fail indeterministically (I haven't analyzed them yet... this can be ignored for the moment,). Thanks a lot!
