Armory no worky...

[P_Shep]

Just launched Armory, said there was a new version... so downloaded an installed 0.88.1, launched it and... nothing.
It'll start, run for a few seconds, then quits. No window, splash, pop-ups, nothing.

Armory require tons or RAM

[P_Shep]

I have 16GB of RAM, of which 10GB is free.
Would have thought that would be enough.

I think 16GB is not enough, that's why it crashes. The developer is trying to fix this, just wait.

I run it just fine with 8GB.

12GB here and *sometimes* it crashes

usually depending on how many million chrome tabs i have open and how many months it's been since i rebooted windows

[SimonBelmond]

For me it even still works with 4 gb. I just have to end all other services.

I'll second that. This little program uses  a ton of resources for some reason. I really do like it, but when it takes me a couple of days just to get it up and running starts to make me think of alternatives. I did think there would have been a newer/updated version by now but nothing yet.

Be patient. We are close. Armory is the safest wallet for normal users. I think you will not regret it if you try Armory again after the update to come.

You are running it on Mac OS X? Or Windows? You mention you had it running before, so it's Windows?

If it's Mac OS X:

Try launching it direct from an xterm:

imac: $ cd /Applications/Armory.app/Contents/MacOS
imac: MacOS$ ./Armory
./Armory: line 5: 41124 Segmentation fault: 11  bin/python armorybuild/ArmoryQt.pyc

Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 on a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 32 GB RAM

It's a known problem. No solution as far as I know

If it's Windows: I  guess you could the equivalent from a cmd shell and note the error message

[P_Shep]

Windows 8. Yep, used to work.

Just tried the cmd line... absolutely nothing reported.

Found something in the system log, I highly doubt it's useful though:
