Hi there, Thank you for using our Bug Reporting form for our new version 20.3.2 Beta Release of CAVE. We received two entries from you recently. The first had to do with CAVE crashing on Windows: > I downloaded AWIPS2 several months ago and now it does NOT work at all. It > keeps crashing > and automatically closing out. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing > works. It is > very disappointing that the app no longer works for me. I am using Windows 11. We're sorry to hear CAVE is giving you issues. Can you confirm you have the latest version installed, 20.3.2-0.3? If not, can you please reinstall it using our instructions: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave-beta-v20/#windows If you do already have the latest version, can you please remove caveData (the local cache) and restart CAVE? Instructions for that are also on our website, here: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/appendix/common-problems/#windows Also, I just want to note that as of right now, we currently only guarantee support for CAVE on Windows 10, as we do not yet have a Windows 11 machine for our development. We can do our best to help troubleshoot if you're still seeing issues after these first two steps though. For your second submission about Radar data: > The features under Radar MUST be fixed! You say you are aware of the Rader > issues. FIX IT! I'd like to remind you to please remember to abide by our code of conduct when engaging with Unidata staff. We strive to provide support to the Unidata community in a timely, productive, and professional manner. We expect those seeking support to conduct themselves similarly. Our Code of Conduct can be found at: https://github.com/Unidata/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md Can you please elaborate more on the issues you're having with the Radar data? Are you referring mosaics menu currently being empty, or something else?
