I just installed the new version and then tried to open my chart book only to find out that a bunch of charts in my 2 chart books were missing.

This has never happened before.

Any take on what is going on here?

When you open the Chartbook are there any error messages displayed in the Window >> Message Log?

Thanks - this helped get back my chart book file.
However, there was an instance when the application just stopped working and Windows had to shut it down.

Do you know a way to know what must have happened without going through so many message log entries?

The Message Log usually is not helpful in this case.

It could be caused by a custom study. Refer to help topic 17.1:

So, the application shut down yet again after giving me a Out of Memory error.

Yes, I am using a whole lot of intra day charts. But it was all ok only until recently.

I tried using another instance of SC application to accommodate some of my chartbooks in the second instance but CQG seems like would let me log into just one instance at a time.

I also tried to use 17.1 help topic to decode the dll and that did not help.

What do you think I should do here?

Can you please help with this?

OK so the problem is you are running out of memory.

That is something that actually the Message Log would indicate. It is not a very common condition so we did not consider it.

In this case what you need to do is use additional instances of Sierra Chart. Here is the relevant documentation:

Another instance is cumbersome.

Any ETA on when SC will be a 64-bit application, if at all?

Sierra Chart Engineering - Posts: 104368
There are currently no active plans for a 64-bit version because if you are working with large amounts of memory it only makes sense to distribute processing load among multiple threads/CPU cores. This can only be done with multiple instances.
