Hi ,

Firstly, cheers for all the work you’ve been doing and all the support you provide. Thanks for my entire team.

I’m having a few issues with the plug-in though. The main one at this time is the plug-in seems to partially cut out after 60 seconds of play.

I currently have 2 custom gestures built into my game, one based off the circle gesture event and one that uses polling to find finger data at a given time. The game starts fine but after 60 seconds, no matter how I preform the circle gesture, the event stops firing. If I try the polling gesture after that time, the engine tends to crash straight away or when I end the game. The game cant seem to find the functions after his point.

I also have some character look code that is based off the players hand position. This works no matter how long the game runs.

I was initially using 0.7.11 and updated to 0.8 today (didn’t fix it) but for some reason the engine still says 0.7.11 . From reading this thread, this has been an issue before. Something to do with garbage collection and the plug-in variables, but this had been fixed. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I spotted a few more incorrect garbage collection links and all of those should be fixed in 0.8. The plugin version definitely says 0.8 so you may not have correctly replaced the plugin. Remember that you need to delete the old plugin content/plugin source to replace it as some classes have been removed.

If you’re still getting an issue, try to narrow the function call as much as you can. I believe yours seems to be due to the controller->frame releasing the object early which should have been fixed in the last update.

I’ve been using the 0.8 version in the leapjam and it’s been stable while using the circle gesture detection for quite some time, way beyond the GC interval. Let me know how it goes!

Great, looking forward to the feedback
