now Carrara has stopped working AGAIN on Windows 10

was working yesterday

Architools stopped it before so suspect another extension

I got a Mimic error so moved that out

but why just why when it worked yesterday???????

  • its Octane Render which is the reason I bought this computer

    NOT HAPPY

  • I can use it on the Carrara 8.5 beta so it is likely another plugin is breaking it again

    I will need to plonk them one by one into the extensions folder and find the culprit

    I never added any since yesterday though

    Argh - how frustrating for you.  So far, my stuff isstill working in Windows 10, but it sems like it is only a matter of time before an update screws things up.  angry

    RE: extensions and plugins - should we dedicate a thread to supplements issues?

  • yes we are on borrowed time with no DAZ support

    even if it proves to be a plugin it was working yesterday until Windows improved stuff angry

    is there a way to roll win10 back from last 24 hours?

    i have mimic and all the latest plugins.  but no Octane.  i won't be able to replicate your conditions.

    1st suspect is always the video driver.  could try turning off hardware acceleration.  iirc theres a checkbox in carrara so,mewhere to use software instead of hardware open cl .

    I already changed that checkbox as the option I had caused issues

    driver I had to roll back for iClone last week Octane was and is working in that beta still at least

    I would say its an extension crash as Carrara typically does this when thats the case but its just crazy how it just happened overnight

    and I cannot load V4 either apparently

    works in DAZ studio

    this is truly weird

    V4 in a saved file off my other PC works

    some strange stuff going on

    and what do you know

    V4 loads in that beta

    Poser format

    it makes no sense whatsoever why it would work in one Carrara not the other

    saved it works in both

    so much about Win10 is driving me nuts too, it doesn't make chasing down issues any easier 

    I think I best not bother setting up scenes on this PC but load them from my other stable machine just to render with Octane

    Hope you get your workflow working Wendy !!!!

  • The last two weeks, Carrara has been unpredictable and unable to load its old projects and sometimes browser objects.  I thought it might be due to Win 10 updates and downloaded latest ones in the hope that would solve the problem.  No luck.  I don't have the add-ons some of you have mentioned.  I was wondering if anyone wlse was having problems.  I am up-to-date with version 1809.  Has anyone tried the new one 1903 or whatever?

    I'm using Windows 10 Pro64 Version 18362 on the slow ring

    the latest fast ring version is 18990

    Mine works flawlessly with Carrara, no probs at all above what is normal for Carrara.

    The only thing I do different is use Windows 10 NVidea selected drivers rather than NVidia's latest drivers.. I found that by using the latest NVidia drivers did upset Carrara more than the Windows 10 selected driver.

    other than that it's cool runnings for me and Windows 10 with Carrara yes

  • Yes it is a combination of an update and one of the plugins I am guessing 

    something is now clashing 

    am slowly adding more to extensions as I need them will find the culprit eventually 

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,206

    second time now I have had to reinstall Chrome because it stopped working

    it's a bloody Edge conspiracy I am certain angry

  • NVidia drivers updated last night. While I was downloading a bunch of content. No warnings, just happens. As it was over 1g in size, it did not help downloading speeds of content which went from flying to crawling.

    I have seen issues after driver updates before, Remember I was offline for about a year while I figured out it was a graphics tablet driver that hooped the install of Carrara and as soon as I removed that drfiver I was back in working order.

    Yes remember 

    Carrara not working is bad enough but I am a bit shocked something as big as Chrome owned by Google/Alphabet could be broken by Microsoft updates twice now.

    Finding fixing is frustrating glad it was only a day all my cases not a year, I still cannot solve some stuff with Carrara though.

    Don't have Misty's characters on my new PC but scenes saved internally on my old machine should  open yet they come in rigging detached.

    I don't have Virtual World  Dynamics installed yet I can open saved scenes from the other computer with simulated to keyframe animations of that as expected.

    Some plugins will not register and want serials yet were included in the Digital Carvers Suite.

    Some inagoni ones bought from DAZ not showing up.

    its a bit of a mixed bag of confusion

    bugger broke Chrome again and I had to uninstall reinstall it

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,168

    Yuk - do you have any fancy extensions to your chrome that could be causing a conflict?
