The last week or so Cursor has not been fun to use at all, I presume everyone is experiencing these generations that never finish. It’s a dreadful UX that you start a process that takes time with no certainty it will ever finish. I think about 30-40% of my gens never finish.
Hey,
Does the chat / composer ever start generating, or does the “Generating…” prompt show up but there is no output, even if you cancel and restart?
The bug we identified is specifically where a chat or composer gets permanently stuck, no matter how many times you try, but a new chat/composer should fix it.
Also, is this for chat, for composer, or for both?

this has been happening in composer, I havent been using chat enough to notice. I can tell you this happens at various stages of the process, it gets permanently stuck at the beginning of a new chat sometimes, eg in the first response. I’ve literally restarted this simple prompt 15 times: “ValidateMetadata has limited test coverage at around 58.33% could you enhance it”, it gets stuck somewhere after its iterating on lints but never ever finishes and just does elipsis-- its unusable, definitely not fixed in 0.44…

couple quick questions to help debug: does cmd k work reliably? does 4o in composer agent work? do chat/composer work without issues?
just sent over a refund for the issues!

cmd k seems to work in the handle of times Ive tried it, as does chat-- I also switched to 4o in agent mode for a time and it worked once or twice but the freezing so far seems to be isolated to agent mode, some threads will never start again unless I restart cursor.
will send you a dm to debug further!
would be great if the UI was a little better here, I think whats frustrating most is that you dont know if its going to finish or not, if its errored out or something we should get a msg.

0.44 so far so good (knock on wood) affter 2 hours no endless “Generating…”
0.43.6 was very frustrating. Nothing is more annoying than doing a long refactor where you’re about 75% done and then stopped dead with “Generating…”
noted a 0.44.2 release came through, I updated and I havent had a freeze since
should add 44.2 still freezes sometimes on composer threads, and it seems once its frozen it will never finish generating until I start a new thread, which isnt very helpful

Yes, this is the exact issue that is happening. Opening a new Composer window loses all context and goes in it’s own direction instead of the direction we had been working on for the past n hours/minutes.
It’s very frustrating and hard to get Composer back on track.
@rishabhy I am facing the same issue, it is just not generating.
also, I can’t find 0.44 version to install.
please help, cursor is unusable for now for many like me.
Hey, v0.44 is still rolling out to all users, and will available within the next few hours / days. We roll updates out this way to ensure nothing is broken. However, if you’d like to skip the queue, you should be able to download v0.44.3 through the links here:
@humanbeingbeing @uplevel_systems_ben @osheenchavhan
Please try this version, and let me know how you get on!
Yes, UI is not good right now. There are moving dots in composer bottom left corner indicating it’s still thinking. Much too subtle.
Could just download 0.44.3 only here: Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor Wrong link in Changelog, and no 0.44 entry.
The update / product channel handling is SO ANNOYING guys, it’s not funny anymore.
thank you so much !
it works now!

We roll out release slowly to people by default, to ensure we have a smooth release of new updates, but that page can be used to force yourself to the latest version, in case you are facing a bug that is fixed in the newer version!
As such, releases only make it to the changelog once we do a majority roll out, as we fix a lot of bugs in the few days between 0.44.0 and 0.44.3!
