P: Enhance Details causes cut out colored squares

I was trying out the new Enhance Details function on Lightroom 8.2, and it is working well on some images, but on other images, it creates the new file, but totally messes it up by cutting out a square in one part of the image, and then other green, blue and magenta squares of the same size are placed randomly in other parts of the image.

This doesn't happen on all files (and it isn't consistent as to which files...two shots taken minutes apart with the same camera and lens, and one it won't process correctly, but the other it will.  If it messes up on a file, it always messes up in the same way if you try again. It doesn't matter whether GPU processing is enabled or not.

    My Mac mini 2014 seems to have the necessary specs; however I do get black rectangles, and it takes aboitn4 minutes to develop. Therefore not useful to me unfortunately

    I would like to know if this problem can be fixed by Adobe. I have read the article in GPU requirements for Lightroom. My video card addresses the open cl spec but is older. If I update, my GPU will this feature work?

    I would expect the encamped DNG to be much larger because ot contains the original raw data and the demosaiced RGB data. For example my original RAF file on disk from XT2 is 48MB but the enhanced DNG is 129MB.

    Interesting indeed, and that explains why C1 opens it. What impresses me is how little difference in size there is between a regular DNG and the enhanced one. I verified that both types of DNG do render identically in Capture One, at lest as far as I can tell, which they should given the way they are implemented.

    The regular DNG from one of my X-Pro2 RAF files is 83.5 MB and the enhanced one is only very slightly larger at 84.3 MB. That is some very efficient packaging, unless the image corruption, with most of it black and only a few squares of detail, is making the difference far smaller than it would be were the software actually rendering the enhanced version in its entirety?

    Very interesting! So there are essentially two DNG's in the container, the one not affected and the one processed with Enhanced Detail? And is this not understood because it's a newer 'recipe' of DNG that hasn't as yet been published (or will be published)? 
    In LR, if one produces such a DNG and then uses the Update DNG Preview and Metadata command, is the JPEG a result of the Enhanced Detail processing?

    Capture One or any other 3rd party DNG readers can only understand and read non enhanced details portion of the DNG (original raw bits), which remains intact through the enhanced details process. Only Lr/ACR currently understands the enhanced detail part of the DNG.

    So this is interesting: the enhanced DNG files that appear scrambled in Lightroom open just fine in Capture One!

    I have the "black square" problems also.  I converted a RAF from my X-T3 to a DNG.  Still had black squares but significantly fewer.  I ran Enhance Details on the cactus image from Andrew and that had no problems.  Using LR 8.2 on a MacBook Pro running High Sierra.

    I have the same problem, see the thread here. Interestingly, it's only X-trans files that exhibit the errors, Canon 1D X files render fine...
    Mac OS 10.13.6, Mac Pro upgraded with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080, latest Nvidia Web Driver and latest CUDA framework. Can't test on 10.14 since Nvidia does not have drivers for it.
