I have never come across so many bug reports in my life as I am with this program. Every time I find a fantastic effect or frame and try to save it to my image, it just keeps generating bug reports. Love it. I've tried reinstalling the filter, restarting my PC, and nothing. Just the same Bl**dy bug reports. Does anyone else have this experience or is it just me?

Hey Colorblast,
I am a new user of Filter Forge. I started using the version 4 standalone (beta)
and I actually find that version very stable, especially for a beta.
I have hunted bugs as a challenge to try to get the version 4 for free,
and I can tell you that I had a hard time finding any bug at all, even
easy stuff like spelling mistakes...
Hope that helps!
Cya

It kinda goes a bit crazy on me once in a while, but not too often that I just can't use it. I think FilterForge to begin with is a pretty complex piece of program so I can understand the difficulty of stamping out every problem. I guess I'm a bit forgiving of issues (most of them have been reported). So I mean, the instability's there and it's something this program will need to overcome as time goes on.
Regarding crashes and obnoxious bugs, as much as you should send them, you should try contacting support with details if it comes to a point where you're just incapable of producing anything. There may be solutions.

I am new to Filter Forge as well and I am having the same problem. Very frustrating! Some filters I can render and others get 75% and up pops a bug report! Yikes!

I've had Filter Forge (version 3 - Basic Edtion) for about six weeks. It is very stable on my system, which is several years old... a Core2Duo E8500 with 4GB RAM and a Radeon 4970. I'm running WinXP on it and that particular computer is NOT connected to the internet at all. So there's no interference from antivirus programs running or other garbage related to being online.
On the other hand, this computer that I am currently typing on IS connected to the internet. It is a somewhat newer computer than my other one but has a bit lesser components (a Core2Duo E7500 a Radeon 4350) but more RAM (8GB) and is running 64-bit Vista Home. FF3 has crashed, generating bug reports, several times while downloading new filters on this computer. Since I don't use this computer for any other work besides internet-related stuff, I can't say whether or not FF3 is stable while rendering images.
I know this doesn't help much but hopefully you'll get it figured out because Filter Forge is nothing short of amazing.
(THANKS to all the folks that create the filters and make them available for us to use)

2ndAct, that's definitely not normal. Are you submitting these reports?
Also, have you tried contacting support? Perhaps it's a well-known problem, e.g. an obscure anti-virus going crazy, or something like that?

Looks like good news. After getting another rendering bug error, I downloaded the latest version and, presto, was able to save the same file-filter with no error. Looks like a mojor hurdle has been fixed with this latest evrsion. Many thnaks FF Team. Great work.
