It’s a useful IDE, but I don’t know why it just crashes every five minutes.
exactly 5 minutes and no exception.
No errors are shown, it just closed silently.
I also check the log, there are lots of errors when start the MonoDevelop such as
“GdkPixbuf-Critical: gdk_pixbuf_composite: assertion `dest_x >= 0 dest_x + dest_width <= dest->width’ failed”
But NOTHING when it crashes.
And one more thing. If you keep the “Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\MonoDevelop-Unity\log.txt” open, by UltraEdit for example, UltraEdit will tell you when MonoDevelop crashes, someone(and it must be MonoDevelop itself) tried to write something to the log.txt, but unfortunately, failed to add anything.
By the way, MonoDevelop of 3.4.0 works well, I’m using 3.4.2 on Windows XP
Just installed 3.5 on XP, and i cant work on MonoDevelop at all… it crashes everytime i try to save, where did you get the 3.4.2 ? my version is 2.8.2.
I will do that.
I just want to know that am I the only one who have this problem.
(I searched, found nothing)
If I’m the only one, I would say that’s the problem of my XP, but not Unity3D or MonoDevelop.
I just sent a bug report.
So if i understand you installed back Monodevelop 2.4.2 ?
where did you took it ? Did you install it simply over the other one ?
No, I didn’t install the higher version, neither Unity3.5 nor Monodevelop 2.8.
I just install the Unity3.3.0, and then updated to Unity3.4.0, everything was fine(except the Water, they throw away the old water, and add water4 in 3.4.0,) and the update to Unitu3.4.2(I hope I never did that:( 3.4.0 worked well for me.).
I’m not going to install Unity3.5 or monodevelop 2.8 before the project I’m working on currently is finished, so I have to use UltraEdit now. But MonoDevelop is a far more helpful IDE for me. I hope it can work.
I doubt it’s because some bad files. I got a virus which almost kill my XP before, I reinstalled the Unity3D, but didn’t reinstall my XP, I can’t reinstall my XP, it’s like an old friend of me. It knows me for 3 years, even longer then my girlfriend.I just can’t reset it only because it’s sick.
What version of visual studio should i take ?
Is visual studio free ?
What about visual studio express C# ?
I just put notePad++ … not exactly the same thing as MonoDevelop …
I use VS2008 at work. not for free. (The company pay for that)
VS2008 is a very good (maybe the best) IDE when I’m using C++.(I don’t know about C#, I assume it’s a very good IDE for C# too)
There is a free version (might be “express” you mentioned above?), I heard that’s as good as the commercial version.
It would be much much better if you can install a Visual Assistance along with the VS, but VA is also not for free.
Visual Studio 10 Express C#, its completely free, I have no trouble with it and 3.4.2. All you have to do is Sync Mono Project in Unity then open the .sln file with VS.
VS isn’t really an option for me as I like to constently run in Debug as I create the game. Infact I don’t think I have a Unity 3d icon as I alweays just start in debug mode.
3.5 seams to crash alot more then 3.4.2 but I wouldn’t say every 5 minutes. I’d say 15 -30 though.
Same problem for me, I am running on Xp and I can’t save when running monodevelop.
After some testing I have seen that if I create a fresh project it saves just fine.
The project I am writing was also developed on windows 7 and on OSX. I think that possibly that is the problem because I can create new files and save them without an issue. If I try to create a new file, and paste the old source into the new file and then save that new file, a crash will occur.
I am thinking it has something to do with the character encoding and windows xp not liking it.
