Everything was working finer but I tried to start rack and no go. I rebooted and still no such luck. Here is the last part of the log showing the error? Any help would be appreciated.
You can try moving settings.json away from the same folder as the log.txt (or renaming it). It would be interesting to look at it to see if itās corrupt, so you might need to save it for a bug report.
Others have had success by deleting the files in the āautosaveā folder.
When asking for help on a crash, itās usually best to say what version of Rack precisely, and the OS and OS version youāre on (however since we see OneDrive in there itās presumably Windows, but still need OS version ).
This appears to be crashing in the VCVConsole plugin. You should report it to VCV - Support (vcvrack.com). The plugin could be an innocent victim here. The engine locks a mutex in JSON parsing sometimes and sometimes not, which is a tricky thing to always get correct.
Others will tell you to not use a OneDrive folder. Thereās a command-line option to tell rack where the user folder is located, and you can point it somewhere the OneDrive isnāt potentially getting in the way.
I have been using OneDrive for some time and have found it to be a very useful program. I have had no problems with it. I tried moving the settings file but no good. I have reported all of this to support so we will see. I am on Win10 with the latest updates and all of that. I am running the latest version of Rack Pro.
You may enjoy it n general, but it happens that vcv doesnāt like that. There are various workarounds. It is perhaps a limitation of vcv that this happens. None the less you should not do it.
What exactly happens? Someone stated that OneDrive makes Rack crash; what evidence is there of that? Also, do people contend that this āproblemā is unique to OneDrive or does this also happen with Google drive or other virtual solutions.
If you are interesting you can ask google āone drive vcv rackā gave a lot of hits. If you want a 100% repro bug scenario - sorry, Iām not interested. Just trying to pass on the common wisdom. If you want to start an argument about it, thatās fine, too.
I have researched this and I only found one documented instance of Rack having a problem and it being fixed by removing OneDrive and it was questionable at best. The user claimed OneDrive was affecting his system in a manner that I question. The claim was that OneDrive was changing paths to his documents folder on its own. If this was happening, which I doubt, it would have had other major effects on his system causing far more problems than just Rack. No one else reported anything like that.
Other than that, there were several people who said OneDrive is bad without any supporting facts at all.
Just because someone says something and other people repeat it does not make it true. After reading all of the search results I think I found the original source of this rumor. People should stop spreading unsubstantiated information like this; it is not helpful and leads people to doing unnecessary work.
Yes, that is the only documented instance that I found and I seriously doubt it. As I said if that was happening his whole system would be really screwed up and he would have far more problems than Rack. Given the number of people using OneDrive successfully I think itās somewhat irresponsible to assume that OneDrive is flawed and causes serious problems to Rack.
stop being an idiot, please. No one has said there is anything wrong with your precious one drive. People are saying that VCV does not like to have itās autosave folder in a one drive folder. You are free to disagree and forever be unable to use VCV. totally fine. totally your choice.
Iām sorry you think that trying to get to the truth about something makes me an idiot. I fail to see how disagreeing with people spreading false information makes me an idiot here and somehow makes me unable to use VCV. The idiots are people that buy into something based on no evidence at all and then spread that false information confusing the issue. Do you always attack someone for being interested in finding the truth and who happens to disagree with you? Grow up āprecious OneDriveā LOL
Hilarious. This person comes on this thread, directly attacks me for no reason and then when I defend myself blocks me. Very mature. Doesnāt matter since he was contributing nothing of any value to the thread except unverified innuendos. See ya kid.
Here is one situation where onedrive causes problems for users, in a scenario very much like Rack plugins. Let me know how many examples you want. But I would turn to technical logic as well: When you have a program, like Rack or many others, that needs ownership of files for their integrity, itās a bad idea to at the same time have a service that also assumes ownership of those files, and can lock them and read and write them.
Have you at least tried disabling one drive. Iām one of the undocumented cases where VCV worked fine after disabling one drive. @Squinky, @LarsBjerregaard and me have been on the forums for some time and have seen numerous questions about VCV not running. And numerous times one drive was the problem.
