Latest Adobe Substance 3D Sampler crashing on startup windows 10

All my drivers are up to date on my computer and this machine has a very fast CPU and graphics card with 128 GB of RAM so there is no way it's a performance issue. I have tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it with no success. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

 

I also went ahead and attached the crash log.

Sampler is working with Studio driver 576.80 here after a clean install of the driver (Custom - Clean install)

 

However, that is an issue itself in that Photoshop does not display 30 bits correctly (using 30 bit monitors) on any driver after 546.33. That issue has been reported to NVidia as well as in teh Photoshop forum here.

Unfortunately 546.33 crashes Sampler release 5.03 (but not the beta). For someone who uses both applications, switching drivers several times a day is a major inconvenience.

I'm Just confirming that Sampler is working on Driver Version 572.70 as I had the same issues on the previous driver version..

Thanks, this version appeared to work. I actually got past importing my photos and generating masks. It waiting to crash until the step after that this time, but now it wont even let me start over, erroring out as soon as I import my photos.

For now I am using 4.4.1 Beta version. You can find it in Beta section of your CC Application.

Hello,

 

We have some issues with latest Nvidia drivers (572.42 and 572.16) as mentioned in this post https://community.adobe.com/t5/substance-3d-sampler-discussions/sampler-5-0-released/td-p/15166553

 

If you want to use Sampler, please roll back to 566.36.

We will update here once new drivers without the issue are released.

 

Thank you for your understanding
