Before I close the GUI it works perfectly and sounds great its a charming little EQ

The only system with Intel graphics that I could find seems to run 1.0.1 perfectly fine, so I can't really reproduce the issue ATM. I uploaded 1.0.2 which contains some small fixes that might or might not upset some drivers, but if that doesn't help then the only thing I can suggest at this time is to make sure you are running the latest graphics drivers...
1.0.2 still crashing. Nobody else?

Indeed, if anyone else still has any crashing issues, please let me know.

The PM test version 1.0.2.1 gave me this http://i.imgur.com/8pUL1.jpg followed by an Access Violation one.

Thanks... hmmh..

Seems there's also some visual font-rendering glitch..

Can you redownload (test version URL) and test once more. I have a theory on what's causing this, and I tried to add a work-around. At least it shouldn't crash anymore..

Crashes on closing here in MU.LAB and Reaper (and froze computer entirely when attempting to load it into ocenaudio).

Old Dell. XP SP3. Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV graphics controller.

Ok, so the URL for the work-around attempt is http://www.signaldust.com/files/de-test.zip

That versions shouldn't crash anymore (if it does, then I'm out of ideas), as I improved the error handling quite a bit. Another question though is whether it actually works though.

It works now!

So far so good here too. Thank you.

Ok, I uploaded 1.0.3 which further improves the teardown a bit (basically release OpenGL a bit earlier when closing editor). It should work at least as well as the 1.0.2.2, but might (or might not) be slightly more robust against old drivers.

Speaking of old drivers... apparently the problem I was hitting is a problem with Intel's older drivers, and while fixed in recent ones, I'm not sure if they've actually updated the drivers for older cards. Anyway, I'm glad that it seems like it can be worked around.

The GUI still loads slow, I would say it takes about 1 second to load. Is this just a side effect of using open GL?

Well, there's normally a small delay due to Open GL (can't do much about that) but one second sounds a bit excessive. Is this every time the GUI opens or just the first time?

If your CPU isn't too fast, another source could be the image/font loaders. I'm planning to replace the font loader, mostly for quality reasons, but it should also speed up things a bit. I'll do what I can do reduce these in the future (currently images are loaded every time the GUI opens; my older plugins are more intelligent and only do it once).

FWIW it's been running fine here in Reaper 4, Win XP x86 since, I think the second version. No crash at any time. I have an Nvidia GPU.

Sounds good, thanks!

Every time.

Works very nicely here. Just quickly tested presets and loading projects in FL with other OpenGL based plugins. The filters sound very nice and it makes a good tone balancing EQ. I wish I could put this on the Windows mixer!

I got a delay on the load also, but what problem could that ever cause?
