Creo/pro2(m030) NOT STABLE
Hi,
We switched from proe wf4 m210 to creo/pro2 m030 3 weeks ago and experiencing a lot of crashes on the very basic functions:
file save -> intermitent crash or lock up
file save as-> intermitent crash or lock up
switching between creo windows -> crash
PTC has already multiple SPRs opened on these issues - to be resolved in m050 or m060

Just an FYI:
We've been using M020 since December with no real stability problems. Not sure if you want to try that build or not.

Never load an older build overtop of a newer build as not all component files are replaced at each build.
When Wildfire 1 released a pre-production version, I loaded it to see what it looked like. Created a sketch of a square, went to extrude it and POOF wildfire crashed. I could repeat it every time. Always gives you confidence in what will be released if something that simple fails.
Thank you,

* Graphics Drivers - Check that you are on at least a supported driver. The latest driver isn't always the best one.
* 64bit OS - Run the embedded browser in a separate process. Config option windows_browser_type ie_in_sep_process
* Background Upload - I watched a user consistently make Creo become unresponsive, by picking File Checkin, while the software was still uploading the file he just saved. We have dm_secondary_upload AUTOMATIC, & dm_upload_objects AUTOMATIC, which causes the system to upload to the server side workspace when the user saves. Waiting for the background upload to finish before trying to checkin solves the problem. But it shouldn't happen. We are looking to increase the Apache Keep-Alives to see if this solves the problem. See TAN 1433113 & TPI 141707. Hopefully this will help.
* Internet Browser History Setting - In Internet Explorer Right click in the top boarder and make sure that the Menu Bar is check marked. From the Tools menu, pick Internet Options. In this Dialog Box, pick Settings under Browsing history. In the settings Dialog, make sure that the setting Check for newer versions of stored pages: is set to Every time I visit the webpage. Then pick OK.
* Biggest issue has been users using their old config file, lock stock and barrel. Or not understanding how to use the new config editor and ending up duplicating the entire loadpoint config in their personal config.

All of the points mentioned below will cause intermittent crashes and
slowness.
Older graphics drivers have always caused crashes on users machines, but
like mentioned by David, the latest is NOT always the greatest in the
Creo World.
We use the embedded browser, but we have it set to 32 bit because users
have had issues when it was set to 64 bit.
Local config.pro has always been an issue here too. Users do a Save All
instead of a Save Changed. I have a couple users with local config over
5 MB. Even though start up was really slow they never reported it
because they thought it was normal since it was a gradual thing. I was
finding up to 20 incidents of the same mapkey.

Our PTC TSAM told us to avoid Creo 2 releases below M050 due to quality issues. If I recall correctly M060 should be the release to go for.

Oh goody, Creo2 M060 should be out by the end of June, only 15 months after the F000. Sounds about right.

If your product is so crappy it takes 15 months and 6 releases to get it stable, then wait a bit longer for release and give us something useful.
I came from a Unigraphics world after 15 years and we seldom had to wait 15 months for a release we could trust. In fact there is only one release those 15 years that we did not install the initial release and that was because of an enhancement we had asked for that did not make the initial release date. It was in a later build, about 6 months later.

We are running Creo 2.0 M020 with no stability issues. I also agree with Ben and always install my builds into different folders. If a new build has issues, I simply change the path on our start up script and everyone is back on the previous build.

MED-100WIN-CD-390_M050_Win32-64.zip & setup.exe does not want to start in
Win7 64. Did I grab the wrong file? It claims to be both 32 & 64 unless
I am reading it wrong.
Thanks & have a good weekend all,
Joe S.

It is not a PTC related issue, it is a Windows 7 extraction issue. You can
only use Winzip to extract the PTC files. We have ran across this with
other zip files and realized the same thing with PTC files.
If the file was created in Winzip, you can only use Winzip or 7zip to
extract the files. Windows 7 extraction corrupts the files that have been
zipped with Winzip.
