Is this crash something that could be (or you planned to) address in this release?
vncviewer.exe crashes on first few connects, then it works
vncviewer.exe crashes on first few connects, then it works
I saw this first in 1.0.8.2. I have now updated both client and server to 1.0.9.1 and the problem still occurs.
Basically upon first connect of vncviewer.exe to the server it will get through authentication and display an initial framebuffer of the desktop with a rectangular or square black area under the pointer. It sits there for a second of two then crashes.
Upon immediate second connect it goes through all the above, but the black area under the cursor is updated and the program works fine from that point.
If I wait a while for the second connect, then it goes back to initial crash behavior.
This only happens on LAN with 1ms latency. On remote connections with 90ms latency it doesn't happen at all.
It feels like a race condition. If I turn on auto scaling (or change connection options), I can usually avoid the initial crash.
This is very easily reproducable for me. I can provide additional info. Just let me know what you need. In the link above I included other examples of people seeing this problem so it isn't isolated to my setup.
This is the crash info that is provided:
