I’m using a simple patch-mixer I’ve created using CreateNode. It was no problem, up to that moment… when I tried to save a subpatch the File-Dialog would’t appeare. VVVV just wouldn’t let me save that patch. I copied the patches content with ctrl+c, closed v4, and re-opend it with a blank patch. I pasted the stuff, and saved the patch into the dir, where I’m loading the patches. VVVV was able to keep on going for about a minute and then closed without any freezing or comments. I deleted a few subpatches in that dir, and suddenly it’s stable again. The subpatch itself is definitly stable when I run it on its own. Has anybody got experiences with that?
h99, thank you for the suggestion. I get a lot of those couldn’t connect / deleting messages. Almost with every patch. What’s that? What can I do about it?

Well, those are links pointing to/coming from nodes that no longer exist.
Though usually this issue is not a problem, in my experience sometimes this problem makes impossible to create new links, produces red nodes etc., and the copy/paste way ain’t solving anything.
To avoid this, you shouldn’t modify your patch if its Evaluate is set to 0, and probably save more often, and reloading - though this still happens to me.
Now you can have a look at XML and manually remove these dead links, and see if something good happens.
Else, I’m patching a module to remove these DL, which works fine but it’s still massively a total mess: if you think, you can post all the project here or you can send it to me at h9nine AT gm4il d0t com - google mail service. You can send me there your skype, for example.
