Crash control !

[RandyEspoda]

We need a crash control function that restores a session after a crash or unexpected shutdown.

Waveform 10 f.e. has one that works extremely well. Stuff like this is what 'needs' to be implemented above all else FIRST.

[boingy]

Nope. We need it not to crash or unexpectantly shutdown. Reason has always been good at that.

[aeox]

Reason.. crash? Never heard of that

[Loque]

This. 1000 times this.

Since vsts have been added, unfortunately the 'no crash' policy is no longer unconditionally applicable ... :/

So again, we 'do' need some form of recovery in the event of a crash. Any plugin can crash the system which can
destroy part of a session by not perpetually pressing ctrl+S like a nutter...Reason needs a buffer and restoration process to
encapsulate those events. Even Waveform has it in its free version, and it is not that hard to implement. If they have been able to get through
that vst issue from last 10.3 update, they can surely manage to add something which is peanuts compared...

[RandyEspoda]

Or some hook that prevents the Reason software itself from crashing when a vst crashes.
Some process that isolates the failing vst before it crashes reason...

Anything along such lines is acceptable.

[RandyEspoda]

Although, even still with a 'perfect' and never failing Reason, a pc or laptop can still fail for any one of a million causes, which can
unexpectedly end a Reason session with data lost. Only a full-on restore function would buffer such events and the user can be assured nothing is lost.

Reason isn't the only thing that can fail in a computer system, and when something does, it usually takes everything with it,
and data can always get corrupted and/or lost because of it.

I'm one of those people who save after every parameter tweak. You never know when someone is actually going to crash into a powerline and take out the electricity

I 'try' to do the same, but thus can you not 'imagine' other people having issues with that ? Are we all that much 'sunk' into our own egos that we cannot consider such issues for 'others' beyond those that would bother ourselves ? That is a bit what the first responses reflect...is that all we have become or what ?

Same thing with the browser fix I requested...all I'm getting is childish responses, some calling me the kettle black
Last visit was ages ago, and now I remember why that was...

Everyone can imagine how the lack of this very feature can cause much more than just a 'head ache' for users, any user really.
Those laughing it away here now above are destined to at some point experience this exact conundrum and hopefully learn from it

My joke backfired, but that's okay.

I've had certain VST cause crashes before, I know exactly what I did to cause the crash so then I never did that again. But it never affected me because I save so often. I was just saying that it's a good practice to save A LOT! Not trying to be a childish or anything.

Oh...

I'm sorry for that

That's ok, and that is very true also.

I've had some instabilities before which froze the system now and then, so I understand completely what you're getting at.

and in the event of your PC crashing I don't see how Reason should handle an auto save or crash control, wouldn't Reason need access to most of the computer hardware and OS to be able to know beforehand when the system crashes?
