Cnthetford Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Accordance has been plagued by frequent freezes and crashes since the introduction of version 14. If I type in verse references to navigate to passages, sooner or later it is going to crash or freeze, meaning I have to re-start every 10-15 minutes. I was excited to see the latest update, hoping that these problems would be fixed. They are so pervasive, it seems like they would be a priority. However, the problem is still there. Things were working well for a while, but about 15 minutes into looking at different passages, I entered "1Jn 2:15-17" and the program crashed again.

Nathan Parker Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Thanks for this. I'll get this reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 What Bible were you in when it crashed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnthetford Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Probably ESVS. That is the one I typically use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I'll try this on my Windows PC next time I'm at it. I'm on Windows 11, so I'll try to see if it's a Windows 10 issue or a Windows in general issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnthetford Posted July 9 Author Share Posted July 9 I have found that the problem is not related to specific passages or anything like that. If I am doing a study session and start entering references, it might crash (or freeze up sometimes) on the 5th or on the 20th reference I enter. It has never happened with the verse picker, only when keying in references. This has been a problem for me since the release of version 14. It is odd that the dump above is referencing Windows 10. I am actually on Windows 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I'm still seeing these types of random crashes and freezes. Tech support attributes it to not closing Accordance or shutting down my computer everyday. But I do not recall ever having this problem before Version 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Thanks for the feedback on it! I'll run some more tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Parker Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I can't reproduce the crash in 14.0.6 or 14.0.7 beta, but as you said, it may be random verses that's causing it to occur, not a specific sequence. I still sent on the crash report to see if we can pinpoint it. If you encounter any more crash reports, post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnthetford Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Here is another one. I just opened accordance and started entering random passages. After 15-20 of them, the application froze (when it does this, all of the Office documents and windows explorer freeze as well until I kill Accordance with task manager). Then I opened again and started entering random passages. Again after a bunch of them, the program crashed this time. Here is the dump. This was all in ESVS with the info pane turned on.

Cnthetford Posted July 14 Author Share Posted July 14 Ok.. I did another test.. here is the list of references I entered (1 at a time) including some typos because I always make them.

Nathan Parker Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I couldn't duplicate this. If you continue to experience these issues, you may need to email Tech Support so we can better pinpoint what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 There's no point in trying to duplicate these random crashes and freezes. They are random, hence by their very nature they cannot be duplicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 What I'd like to find out is if these are truly random, or if there's some form of pattern we can pick up. That would help us pinpoint what could potentially be causing the crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 They are truly random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 That's unfortunate. If you happen to ever detect some form of non-random pattern, definitely keep us posted. In the meantime, if you continue to have the random issues, you can try emailing support, and we'll try to assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 As I mentioned above, I did already email tech support about these random crashes/freezes. They attribute it to not closing the program and turning off my computer at the end of every day. As for the only non random, completely repeatable crash that I've been able to document. I did post a thread about that, tech Support verified it, the programmers had already prioritized it, but a fix has not yet appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Parker Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Good to know. Thanks for the update! I usually turn off my machine at the end of the day just to save power, but if it didn't happen to you before now, that is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I keep my computers on because the power savings between sleep/hibernation modes and totally off is next to nothing, and I usually don't really know when my work or leisure computing day is over. My company IT-department has advised me to generally leave my computer on, but on occasion to reboot. There are different philosophies on this, but this is a very standard position.

Nathan Parker Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I have a similar work day with my other job. :-) I used to just put mine to sleep at night, but since I have multiple machines sitting around (one a more massive machine), I thought powering them down would eke out a little more on my energy bill each month. They all reboot pretty quickly, so I can generally boot them up in the morning, and they'll be ready before I finish waking up. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrecht Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 So yesterday, I closed Accordance (and all my other programs) and shut down my computer completely (not sleep or hibernation mode). Turned on my computer today, started Accordance, went to two separate texts in two different workspaces. Accordance froze and crashed while trying to scroll in the second workspace. The only thing that might have been unusual, perhaps, is that when I first went to open the second workspace (Jewish scriptures), I still had a New Testament text highlighted in the first workspace so at first the second workspace would not open because the highlighted NT text (Mk 4,10-12) cannot be found in the Jewish scriptures (despite Mark's allusion to Isa 6,9-10). So I unhighlighted the NT text and the Jewish scriptures workspace opened fine. Went to Isaiah 6 and when I started to scroll through Isaiah, Accordance froze, began draining computer resources, which also caused other programs to freeze up. As is usually the case, no crash log was generated by Accordance. This crash obviously cannot be attributed to not closing Accordance and shutting down one's computer completely. Nor is it random, at least not on my computer with my specific Accordance workspaces. If an Accordance programmer or tech support wants to remote into my computer and have me repeat the exact steps, I'm happy to accommodate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
