Onoitsu2 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I experienced a strange background crash on my Windows 8.1 box, where the Synergy 2 RC1 window showed to retry connecting to it. This happened after I had put my Mac to sleep, then woke it to ensure it resumed connection just as fast as the Beta 5. After I clicked Retry in the Windows screen, it did just that, immediately and faster than Beta 4/5 connected to it once more. I have been unable to reproduce this, and because the connection to the background service was lost, was unable to obtain the logs from it, however am posting this as it may very well happen to someone else and perhaps they will locate this thread and try to locate a pattern. Systems in use when it occurred: Windows 8.1, macOS High Sierra, v10.13.1, Windows 7 Pro (service disabled from that computer) No firewalls in place, no anti-virus or other security in place on network.

Synergy Team Nick Bolton Posted November 4, 2017 Synergy Team Share Posted November 4, 2017 The background service can crash intermittently, but thankfully it automatically recovers. We're working on this now, an update should be available soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if it were to be totally automatic that would be nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you know you don't need to keep the config window open, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I know, but since it is beta, I have kept it open to see any quirks in the console from it, should something not cooperate. Mostly clipboard issues were my largest situation. But occasionally when moving screens around it would disconnect and have to reconnect several times then it succeeded. Nothing major worth reporting.
