How often does your Revit crash?

[btrusty]

maybe once a day (or every other day)

typically a openGL error

winxp pro sp3, ra2009, core2 6700, 2gb ram, quattro 3450/4000, dual screen
typically when i also have autocad 2009/10 open also.

2 or 3 times a day with error message and option to save recovery file, on top of 4 or 5 times a day where Revit 2010 just goes away leaving me staring at my desktop.

You would think that a scarred veteran of AutoCAD R13 would know better than to use any AutoDesk release for production work before it has proved itself to be a stable step forward.

I've had enough and am going back to Revit 2009......I prefer the 2009 GUI anyway.

Been using 2010 for about 2 weeks now...no crashes. It has been very stable.

I had problems with 2009...it liked to crash from time to time and sometimes it would not open. So far, I am very pleased with the stability of 2010.

REVIT 2010 32bit, XP Media, on Toshiba Laptop 2 GB RAM, GeForce 6600, Ver. 7.6.7.4. I have only had 2 crashes and they were both memory related with OS 'out of memory' warnings. Now granted I only have 2 GB RAM but there appears to be a memory leak. The longer I leave REVIT open the slower it gets. I also shut down all other app's when using REVIT. I restart my REVIT twice a day to avoid the problem.

Hey everyone, for those with crashing problems, please post your video card, driver version, and operating system. That way we can see if there are any trends to all of this.

Thanks!

Revit STRUCTURE 2010 - Haven't had a crash, yet.

Dell Computer
CPU: Intel 3GHz
Video: (2) ATI FireGL V7200
RAM: 4Gb

Since switching to the Quadro FX 3800 no crashes in use...

Vista 64 / Corei7 / 12GB / FX 3800 /single monitor (no Nvidia display manager running)

however if I leave the machine running all night the next morning I occasionally see a message saying 'Revit has stopped working' or similar, but I get these in Vista 64 for IE7 also... seems harmless.

interesting as this is the same problem i am having... it is a major issue as we cannot leave it on overnight to render... running a nvidia quaddro fx4600... so perhaps there is a conneciton in the cards and the drivers?

No crashes while I'm working, but whenever I exit the program I get an error report saying Revit had to close and the CER thingy opens up. Started using the program as soon as it was available.

Dell Xeon 2.66
XP Pro 64 SP2
4GB
Nvidia FX 4600 on a 30" monitor

(I mention the monitor size as I've had issues with the Options Bar behaving badly, according to support, it's a resolution size with screen size combination issue, I did try a different smaller monitor and it worked fine)

2010 definitely has a memory leak at least on XP. I have to restart several times a day or I get unexpected crashes from selecting an object, rendering, saving a family, the list goes on and on. No open gl or driect x I won't use them, to unstable.

Having been a beta tester for a couple of different products this definitely looks like a major memory leak.

This will be the last project I start in 2010 until a SP shows up.

Video = NVidia Quadro FX1500 256 Mb PCI Express
video drivers tried : 175.51, 182.46, 182.65, 178.46 (current)
custom machine design
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.67 ghz
RAM 4 Gb DDR II @ 800 mhz
Windows XP Pro 32 bit.

This machine suffers no problems with any other application.
I should not need to buy another video card to suit Revit 2010 when it otherwise has worked for so many previous releases. If this is to be the go, then perhaps the video card could come "free" with every new release of Revit !

trombe. (grrrrrr)
