Version 2.1.02 hangs variable text jobs after 3-5 impressions

Just upgraded to v 2.1.02

Tried variable text marking on UV laser.
It marks anywhere from 3-5 jobs in the csv file and then just hangs.

original csv file was this:

WATER,PUMP
WATER,PUMP
WATER,HEATER
MOOD,LIGHT
MOOD,LIGHT
FRIDGE,
FRIDGE,
TV,
TV,
CAMERAS,
CAMERAS,
STARLINK,

thought maybe the blank field #1 might be causing the issue, so separated to 2x different input csv files, still no luck. I get maybe 3-4 and then it just hangs.
These files used to work fine in version 1 of LB. Now I can’t complete the job.

Is there a crash dump file or something I can upload that will highlight what’s causing LB to hang on these simple jobs?

there was no crashfile created on the desktop. I’m running Windows 11. Laser is 5W UV galvo laser connected by USB.

Can you send us a screenshot of the entire LightBurn window when it “just hangs”?

There won’t be a crash log if the program didn’t crash (close), but you can try capturing a Debug Log

Turn on the debugging log by clicking on “Help > Enable Debug Log”. This logs all actions taken, so it’s important to try and capture as brief a log as possible to make finding the issue easier.

The log file will be written to your “My Documents” folder on Windows, and is cumulative - each time you enable the debug log it will append to any existing log, so it’s a good idea to delete it after you’re finished.

After enabling the debug log, perform the action that caused the hang, then disable the logging from ‘Help > Enable Debug Log’ once again. Then, retrieve that file from the above location and attach here.

here a couple of videos showing the problem

sorry for the low quality but don’t have time for tripods and such, but it should show you what is happening

here is a link to the debug log

We are having a similar problem LightBurn 2.1.02, Hangs when we send a job to our JCZ Fiber Laser, works ok with Ruida 664XS CO2 Laser. We have reverted to 2.0.05 while a fix is found

I am having a similar problem where Lightburn v2.1.02 crashes when using variable text. If there are only 3-4 variable text elements, the Frame and Start work fine and the file is burned. However, if there are more than 4 variable text elements, 11 in this case, when I press Start to burn the file the screen does the Windows opaque look, and I get the “Not Responding” at the top of the screen. Everything hangs up and eventually I get the “Program not responding” window and Lightburn closes.

I have attached the De-bug log for reference.
