Official StarTools support forum

Hi Ivo, I've used SVDecon ever since it became available. One thing that seems to be a constant is that while selecting sampled stars, ST can crash after a few sample stars are selected. It happens about 50% of the time, which is enough to be annoying. Is there anything I can send you so that this c...

Woohoo! It works! Thanks for your hard work! This fix rocks! Awesome! Thank you for your patience and helping me test this. :bow-yellow: The bug was an extremely specific timing issue that would only happen with a specific speed by which the CPU processes stuff and the specific speed by which the G...

Woohoo! It works!

Airy: Isolate: What was this "Edge case" that you brought up and fixed?

Thanks for your hard work! This fix rocks!

It seems that the GPU will necessarily be used when I use an external display. I *was* using an external display when I was ST. So, I think the easiest thing to do first is to use my MacBook Pro display and not my external monitor first to see if the problem goes away. Did that help at all in combi...

Hi Ivo, One last data point with my MacBook Pro (2012 edition), it works :) But it takes forever to calculate when it is in the Super Structure module. Here's the About panel: track3.jpg So, I don't think that it's the slow process that's messing up ST on my MacBook Pro 16 because this MacBook Pro i...

OK, I've tried all the combo's "0", "1" in the cfg file; using gSwitch; using laptop display. No go, the problem remains :( The problem child is the Catalina MacBook Pro 16. So, next, since I actually have 3 Macs (1 MacBook Pro 16 (2019 edition) running Catalina, 1 MacBook Pro (2012 edition) running...

Hi Ivo, I just tried both "0" and "1" in the opencldeviceindex.cfg file. Is there some indication that the 5500M has been freed up for computation? I looked at the About panel and there's nothing obvious. I just found this application for macOS; https://codyschrank.github.io/gSwitch/ explained here...

And here's the checksum of the resources file and size: Is this what you'd expect? I double checked that the resources file has the same checksums as that in the zip distribution. That all looks in order! Do you see the same problem that I see when you work on the fits file from the link? I can no ...

Problem persists with 1.7.440. Here's the results. I'm afraid we're quickly nearing the end of the road for your particular machine. :cry: Are you absolutely, 100% sure you are running the latest version (1.7.440alpha, including its 'resources' file)? Are you absolutely, 100% sure your RX 5500M is ...

there are no longer any streaking in the images. Thank you so much for confirming this. This has helped me narrow down the problem; it is either a GPU memory allocation issue or - much more likely - a GPU timeout issue (e.g. GPU taking too long to process to the operating system's liking). I am hop...
