Describe the Bug

Sometimes when I start to play music my display driver breaks. This does not happen consistently but it only happens when playing music with Cider.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cider
Play music
Notice display driver stops working

Anything else?

The only way I can seem to resolve this is by unplugging my screen and plugging it back in. Afterwards it functions like normal again and I can play music as normal.

I've tried the ctrl+win+shift+b to reset my video driver but that unfortunately doesn't seem to make a difference.

Is there any way for me to provide a log file? I just had it happen again and would love to provide more info if possible.

Run nvcleanstall (assuming you have an nvidia graphics card) / or remove your graphics drivers and perform a clean install. Issues like this tend to be a broken driver.

I did a clean install through nvcleanstall and the issue still happens. Is there any way for me to provide a log file of sorts? Also note that this is the only software where this issue happens. I haven't had any graphical issues whatsoever aside from this (that I'm aware of)

There is not a huge amount I can do, I do not experience this nor do I use windows. To my knowledge, there is not any display logs we can retrieve on Windows, the application log may be beneficial but getting that would involve you launching the application from the command line.

We are working on a new backend for Cider on Windows, so all I can recommend is sit tight until it's ready, or I can ask another member of the team to help you out further.

Thundernerd commented 2 days ago

Thanks for the reply. I'll wait for the new backend to arrive! (I'll still keep using it though).

Should I close this issue?

coredev-uk commented 2 days ago

Leave it open, close it if the issue clears up with the new backend.
