Hanging or crashing Renoise builds were common but I hadn’t seen that is many MANY years, no doubt because of Edouard and the excellent crash recovery system he added. Yet somehow to my surprise, it actually happened. xrns kryptonite. Hard hang upon load. After working on this for an eternity, I was horrified to see that Renoise simply hangs when I try to open the .xrns. I disabled all vst/vsti’s, but nothing doing. I really need to recovery the patterns + the mixer, I dont care about the sample data as I can rebuild it from previous backups. I dont recall Renoise crashing while saving not does it seem to be an SSD problem. Clearly there’s some data corruption in there. Please not I use extensions, no midi mapping, only dsp’s and vsts.
If anyone has a way to access the patterns, I will be eternally grateful, so will many people I’m playing it too soon
I extracted all the xml data from Song.xml and dumped into an empty .xrns (as in, an empty .txt file), excluding and flac content and disabling all vst/i’s in Renoise. Sadly though, I still get this
Sorry Neil, it crashes hard on my end as well. Also tried copying the the xml data but same thing happens.
I don’t know if this could work. But if it’s vital that you recover it I suppose you can try to selectively start copying information from your cursed XML to a fresh one. Just copy small blocks at the time. See if you can get it to run that way. Though you probably need to figure out what parts of the code belong together. But like I said, I don’t even know if this is a viable strategy.
The pattern data in the song has been corrupted in a strange way. Is this an old, freshly converted song? Can you remember what you did to it before this happened?
