1.2.1.7 viewer crashing when minimized

[andrewk89]

Running UltraVNC Viewer 1.2.1.7 on Windows 7 x64. After minimizing the viewer window, the viewer crashes after a few minutes. every time.

Server is Windows 10 x64 running the same version.

Viewer options are
[list=][*]Hextile[/*]
[*]Full Colors[/*]
[*]Auto size / 90% scaling[/*][/list]

Forget which version I was running before upgrading. Either 1.2.1.6 or 1.2.1.2 on both client and server. Using the same settings, neither viewer had this issue.

Here's what I pulled out of the Event Viewer

Code: Select all

Faulting application name: vncviewer.exe, version: 1.2.1.7, time stamp: 0x5a57b793
Faulting module name: vncviewer.exe, version: 1.2.1.7, time stamp: 0x5a57b793

Anyone else can repeat this issue.

Yes. I had reported this under 1.2.1.7 thread several days ago. I have 4 PCs with Win 7 Pro 64, and installed UVNC using exe-installer to them. I had no problem with 1.2.1.6.

With 1.2.1.7, when the remote window is minimized, UVNC crashes on Viewer side. My impression is that the remote window also crashes when it is not minimized but inactive, but I'm not sure.

When Server side is 1.2.1.6 but Viewer is 1.2.1.7, Viewer doesn't crash but sometimes the connection is lost thouth it can be reconnected.

Hope my info helps.

Let's see if i can repeat it in debug mode ..

I can also reproduce issue.
Host/Server is windows 10 and Viewer runs on windows 7.

Reproduced with:
1) Start connection and switch to full screen
2) restore window (top bar)
3) minimize viewer and wait a few minutes

It viewer is minimized and restored within seconds it works, but as soon as it minimized for a while it crashes on restore window.

Hope a fix can be provided.

regards, Michael

Update: I switched to the 1.2.1.5 viewer on Windows 7 x64. Server is still 1.2.1.7 on Windows 10 running as a service.

Within a minute or two after minimizing, the 1.2.1.5 viewer also crashes.

Hello,

I encounter exactly the same difficulties.
Server W7-32 v1.2.1.7
Viewer W10-64 v1.2.1.7
vncviewer crash after a few minutes.

I installed v1.2.1.7 because with v1.2.1.6 I had regular disconnections (not crashes), followed by automatic reconnection :

Server W7-32 v1.2.1.6
Viewer W10-64 v1.2.1.6

If that can help you find the solution ....

Thank you very much.
