Post From: Abnormal Shutdown of Sierra Chart when Modifying Order

We have a few, about a total of two or three reports of when a user modifies an order in Sierra Chart, they get an immediate shutdown in some cases.

This is the prior thread on this subject:
Notice: Stack Overflow Issue

Our conclusion, at that time, was at this was some operating system level issue. While that seems unlikely, that was all that we could reasonably conclude.

We could never reproduce the issue even with extensive work.

We will continue to look into the issue to determine the cause. But we need more information from users when it happens. In the threads about this issue, we have asked for that information.

Obviously Sierra Chart is a very high quality software, and it is designed to be very stable and reliable. It is one of the best quality programs in the world in all categories. And we make that statement with confidence. While sometimes there are issues and there certainly a lot of room for improvement as we clear out these Microsoft dialogs and things like that, still it is very good quality and stable software.

So this issue, is not consistent with the quality and experience that users are used to, so it is obviously very concerning but at the same time the problem is not reproducible by us. And there is a possibility that there it is something specific to these users system or configuration leading to the problem.

We have very high standards, and this is why we can be critical with external services when they do not work well in some ways, and we get burdened with a lot of support questions related to those issues.

We will do our best to isolate and resolve the issue to the extent possible. It does seem like it is something we should be able to resolve but at the same time if it is, we should be able to reproduce it and we just cannot.
