Rack 2 not starting but rack 1 is.

VCV Rack

Hello!

I’ve had this problem for weeks now and am unable to get it to work. I am not able to start VCV Rack 2 but am able to start VCV rack 1 without issues.

Things I’ve tried:

Un-installing Asio4all + fl studio asio

Tried every 2.0 version of rack 2

Cleared pc from cookies

Updating windows

Updating drivers

Starting in minimized mode.

Start as admin.

could it be the umlaut or other special character upsetting things?

Hmm, I doubt it. Using VCV Rack for a university assignment and the rest of the class got it started without issues with umlauts aswell :confused:

Do all the class members have the same wireless controller ?

tried un-plugging the wireless controller but didn’t solve it.

Here’s the updated log:

It still finds the Högtalare Schiit Modi 3+ before the fatal step.

My bad, you were completly right! Re-naming the “högtalare” to something without “ö” solved it! Appriciate the help!

@fractalgee is the man :+1:t2:

well, the ultimate bad is whoever didn’t test their code with unicode characters. In this case it sounds like it’s RTAudio causing problems? Not sure. I do know that every time I’ve had to deal with files in VCV I’ve had to test this (loading midi files, loading sfz files, sfz files that in turn point to files with unicode characters in their names).

It’s a real pain under Windows, but a super common problem, and one that people really shouldn’t accept as a fact of life.

I see a hint in this commit that Andrew knows about it as well, that it’s a RTAudio bug, and that it’ll be fixed in the next Rack release:
