RANT: The Dots of Death...

 

I'm sure that most of you have experienced the "Dots of Death"...
You know, you update the program or reboot the processor and every once in a while, of course when you're trying to get out of a site, this happens:
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
........................................................................................................................................
For 20 to 60 minutes...UGGGHHH!!!!

Has anyone figured out what causes this, and more importantly, how to get out of this???? Clearly this is on Crestron's voluminous 'Never Gonna Fix' list.
And yes, My experience with just rebooting is that you just reset the clock...
 

I only ever see that when the userproginitcomplete portion is being used and the signal connected to it didn't get triggered.

Particularly common on code where userproginitcomplete is being driven from fusion but a system hasn't actually been incorporated into a fusion server yet.
 

Yes, Where do I send my Invoices???
 

Don¡¯t define the userproginitcomplete signal in your program. Essentially there¡¯s a timeout that I believe is 20 minutes. If the affected program doesn¡¯t ¡°see¡± the programs¡¯ init flag it goes into a timeout wait period. Just remove the signal in your program, because if something happens at program start you¡¯ll have to wait for the timeout to expire before anything can move on.
