After installing v7.1.0 (on Win8.1), I noticed that sometimes, the IDE hangs at splash screen, keeping a CPU core to maximum. That happens before displaying all the loaded files on the splash screen.
The IDE can be closed from Task Manager. Starting it again works as expected. Just a guess, it is possible that there is some race condition on loading, causing it to happen when multiple applications are running or the disk is in use or too slow for some reason.
I don't have more information to provide on this.
Thank you.

Hello,
Please, try to disable automatic update.
When you run the compiler, go to Tools -> Options -> IDE -> Settings and uncheck Enable automatic updates.

Hi,
the updates are already disabled. It has to be something else. I was thinking that it has to do with my setup or the installation might be broken. I have a backup of the installation folder, but besides some small ini file changes, nothing seems to be corrupt. Probably I'll have to live with it.

Re: v7.1.0 - IDE hanging on splash screen
I see also the same phenomenon, but most of the times the IDE finally starts up, sometimes only after several minutes.
[edit] Finally I did go back to version 7.0.1.

Re: v7.1.0 - IDE hanging on splash screen
Hi,
Yeah, I too have to fight this error every time I open the IDE.
So, you hope? No clue about when an update may happen, in the near or at least not too distant future?
This does not sound very encouraging to us, your customers.

Radu G.

Re: v7.1.0 - IDE hanging on splash screen
Hello,
The workaround for this issue at this moment is to open the IDE by opening a project file rather than the compiler .exe itself.
One more time, I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.
Kind regards,
Jovana

Re: v7.1.0 - IDE hanging on splash screen
There is also the possibility of making a hybrid installation:
What I use, according to my notes:
Base: MP 6.2.1
Copy from 7.1.0 :
Files:
mPdsPIC.exe
LibDependency.ini
Folders:
Uses
Packages
Defs
Disadvantage(?) with this install is that I have to use the older standalone VTFT (4.6.1), but it avoids a lot of problems in the newer versions of the IDE.
Perhaps a similar hybrid install could be made using 7.01 as base and 7.1 as compiler.

In the mean time I have another problem after some experiments to solve the previous one: The last project is not opened any more when starting the IDE. The correcponding option bit is set to on.
Kind regards, Dany.

Hi,
As for your issue, have you tried reinstalling the compiler ?

Re: v7.1.0 - IDE hanging on splash screen
Hi Filip, thanks for your answer. I do not dare to re-install the compiler, the behaviour I now have is more than satisfying for me
Everything works fine, except for that one small issue. Anyway: the splash screen problem (which was very annoying) has been solved. Thanks!
Kind regards, Dany.
