I had a rare crash of GP just now and I am wondering if I should submit a crash report? The site points us to the community and I don’t see a formal support system option (maybe I just missed it?).
The developers are always keen on crashes, so yes, if you have a crash dump, upload it. You can do that in this the topic you created.
It can be the case that you’re not permitted to upload the file type, but if you make that known, the site administrator will take care of that.

GP crash report 20250524.txt (112.6 KB)
Report attached for dev review.
Saved it to a text file as I am not allowed to upload in its native format.
This is from a MacBook Pro M4 Max running Sequoia 15.4.1.
In general just compress native format as a zip file and upload that.
This seems to be a crash with GPScript.
What exactly were you doing that caused the crash and can you reproduce it?
If I need to upload future crash reports I will zip them.
I was working on some scripting to fetch data from a csv file and populate label widgets with that data. I don’t think I can recreate it but what I was doing was trying out some different Rackspace script versions in a couple of rackspaces in one gig file. This is related to items I have asked about here:
Gig file if you want it:
GP MBP M4.gig (6.3 MB)
Happy to answer any questions you may have.
I was working on this outside of my studio so its not connected to any other gear if that matters.
This crash wasn’t a crisis for me so I am sharing more for posterity and helping the cause than seeking root cause. No software is perfect and sometimes a confluence of events can cause a crash. If anything in this helps improve the product in the future that’s awesome.
It would be really great if you could reproduce this
If I manage to I will certainly share details. If you see anything of note in the report or gig file please let me know. Curious if there is anything interesting in there.
@dhj I had another crash and I think I recreated a similar circumstance to the last crash.
GP was up and running from the time I restarted after the last crash to this one (several days continuous running).Crash report and gig file attached for review. Rackspace script at the time of crash included at the bottom of this post.
Hope this helps!

Actions leading up to crash:
- Was doing various updates to the Rackspace script
- I had just editing and successfully compiled this code snippet
From
if ii == 4 or ii == 5 then
if rowItems[ii] <> "-60.0 dB" then
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.024, 0.639, 0.251, 1.0))
else
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.235, 0.235, 0.235, 1.0))
end
end
to
if ii == 4 then
if rowItems[ii] <> "-60.0 dB" then
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.024, 0.639, 0.251, 1.0)) // Bright green for Aux5
else
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.235, 0.235, 0.235, 1.0))
end
end
if ii == 5 then
if rowItems[ii] <> "-60.0 dB" and rowItems[ii] <> "--" then
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.365, 0.435, 0.388, 1.0)) // Muted green for AuxSends
else
SetWidgetFillColor(rowRef[ii], RGBToColor(0.235, 0.235, 0.235, 1.0))
end
end
- Compile succeeded.
- Initiated action with the associated button click that launches behavior
//Button to update 828es data and load into GP labels
On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from btnLoad
Print("Button triggered: 828data008.sh")
if newValue == 1.0 then
if RefreshMOTUData() then
Print("Shell script success — now calling LoadFile()")
LoadFile()
else
Print("Shell script failed or did not return success marker.")
end
end
End
- Script started processing and then GP crashed.
