Please send us your lightshow and tell us how to reproduce.

Are you using the "Companion" with our software ?

I am using companion. I have used it on an M1 Mac and on an intel Mac both have the same problems.

There isnt really a clear cut way to reproduce, it just seems to happen randomly, sometimes when a scene is active, sometimes its not, sometimes it happens right away, other times the software needs to be running for a long time.

For anyone having this same issue, inside of companion there is an option under the connection tab that controls how frequently it polls the interface of showxpress for button changes, default is every 10 minutes. If you delete it it will not poll for a change, if you want you can add a manual poll button for when you do change your buttons but if you remove the automatic poll that had stopped my crashing problem. It was just polling too often and causing a memory problem.

Thank you for this information and workaround.
With these new elements we will try to reproduce the problem.

In the next fix file (9.3.14), we updated some code and added a "Do not use WebSocket" option in the network preferences.
Please try with this file (when available) and with the "Do not use WebSocket" option checked.

The fix for V9.3.14 is online.
