5.6.0 crashes on launch

[milnak]

Windows 11.

3: UnhandledExceptionFilter + 0x180
4: RtlInitializeExceptionChain + 0xfd
5: RtlClearBits + 0xbf

dialog says crash info was written to "ctrlr-win32.exe.crash", but that file doesn't exist.

I installed from https://github.com/RomanKubiak/ctrlr/releases

Please use the binaries from this discussion: #619
CtrlrX 5.6.30.1
It has been forked from Ctrlr by Damien who further adapted it. I'm also modestly contributing.
Let us know! I'm myself still on Win10.

Is Ctrlr dead? If CtrlrX is the replacement, how come there's no releases at https://github.com/damiensellier/CtrlrX/releases ?

@milnak CtrlrX is more in a beta state right now, hence no official release on the fork page.

I saw your question on the discussion board, I replied with the available links to CtrlrX files, it's now v5.6.30, will soon post 5.6.31 but I need to tweak a few other things before releasing it.

If in beta consider renumbering to 0.x.x and making official releases with that version? I (and others) aren't comfortable pulling binaries from random sources. For now I can try building it myself.

We all (active members of the community) decided to keep the versioning numbers of Ctrlr which is related to the JUCE version hence v5 because of JUCE 5.x.
I'll release CtrlrX 5.6.31 next month when everything will be tested and approved here. I'll do a v5.6.31 release page on https://github.com/damiensellier/CtrlrX because almost all major bugs from Ctrlr will be cleared up.
If you want to build CtrlrX I recommand following this guide, you should be ok with VS and Xcode.

Good luck!
