Ring Central Meetings: crashing

When attempting to launch or join a RingCentral Meeting the application crashes once the video is initialized. Earlier last week, the application was working just fine and without any issues. Late last week and this week however, nothing but problems. I can join and host meetings with others using video, but once I initialize my own video the application crashes.

I've tried
  1. unplugging the webcam (Logitech v-u0022) and plugging it back in.
  2. sfc /scannow
  3. Disabling Anti-Virus
  4. All Windows Updates Done
  5. Latest nVidia driver installed
  6. Uninstalling and reinstalling the latest RingCentral Meetings application (are there older versions I can download and try?)
  7. Also installing RingCentral Desktop application
  8. Anti-Virus full scan
  9. msconfig > disabled all unnecessary startup applications and services
Notes
  1. Video works fine in the "settings" window.
  2. Skype works without any problems.
  3. Google+ Hangouts works without any problems.
  4. The problem was noticed around last Wednesday.
  5. All user accounts on this PC are affected by this problem

Thanks for posting all the details. It looks like the problem may be that your version is too old, so I would not recommend rolling back.  Try uninstalling your current version.  You can download the most recent version by logging into your account, clicking tools and then "Meetings App"

Hi Mike,

I am already using the latest version of the application. As far as I know, the older version was working fine and we were not experiencing any issues until we upgraded. Could you provide a link to the last version before the latest?

I am wondering if there are remnants of the old version interfering. What operating system are you using? 

Can you try to uninstall the program, then search the computer for any files or folders named "RingCentral Meetings" and delete them. Then reinstall the software again.

Be sure to check all 3 of these folders.   The Program Data folder might be hidden by default, so you may have to "unhide" this folder from within the Control Panel.

Currently running Windows 7 PRO. I considered the same thing, I deleted all "RingCentral" folders in Program Files and Program Files (x86), as well as %APPDATA% Local and Roaming, downloaded a fresh .exe and installed again. The problem persisted.

I called RingCentral Support, they elevated my ticket to Level 2, and I got an email back which told me that they are aware of the problem, and to download an older version of the application, and gave me a link. The linked version fixed my issue.

Matthew Hunt replies:
This issue was also reported from another account and is being tracked under number RC-54204. You case will be escalated as part of this issue.
As a workaround, please install the following version of RingCentral meetings. If prompted to update to the new version you will need to select no.

Mike,

Any word as to when this will be fixed in a future release? Since having the most up to date release is normally the best practice, I'm afraid we'd be missing out on future bug-fixes and performance improvements being suck on this old version.

The latest version at this time is 3.5.1.  If you've tried this version and it's crashing, the best thing to do is open a case to make sure we capture more data from the users having the problem.

My crashing began about the same time on my WIn7 PC.  Any troubleshooting tips?

Go ahead and open a support case if you have not. If you want to try installing an older version, reply here and we'll send you a link. Let us know if you are on a Mac or PC.

I am having this same issue.  If possible can you send a link with a Win7 PC version as well.

Deshawn, what version are you using now? There are several Windows versions depending on your issue. It's almost always best to use the latest version and if you are having problems, open a support case instead of rolling back to an older version.

Hello James, This could be for a number of reasons. Can you tell us what version you are running?  And, did you try to uninstall and reinstall the latest version? 

Also, can you tell us what OS  your computer is running?   If you are getting any error messages let us know.

Hi I'm using the latest version 3.6.28033.0928. OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64Bit / Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.

What happens it that I set up a meeting, everything appears to work find until someone connects or I connect to someone else at this point the application just stops responding crashes then there is sometimes a loop of attempted reconnects. 

The web cam is a Creative Live! Cam Sync HD, we have used these cameras before and everything works excellent with Skype and alternative meetings software. 

Regards 

James

Hi James,  The  3.6 version seemed to have fixed this for other users. You mentioned the model of your web cam. Have you tried it with different models, which did work?  Also did you try uninstalling the software or just upgrading from 3.5?   Please use this link to open a support case:  Open a Case

3.6 has fixed this issue for me as well. I had downgraded to 2.7 as 3.5 was problematic. I performed a clean Uninstall of 2.7 and installed 3.6 and all seems well now. Thanks.
