Unable to start rendering engine, Ray Tracing Crashes 3D Stager on a RTX 3080
Hi,
I have been a lot of performance issues lately followed by a crash on a fairly powerful machine when I turn on Ray Tracing (medium quality). It does essentially render the scene but very slowly and if I move my camera slightly with Ray Tracing on, then the program gives the "Unable to start rendering engine" error and then crashes.
Granted I have more assets than usual (about 10 assets mostly from the free library inside 3D Stager) and my file size is about 87 MB, but it shouldn't be struggling this much and/or crash.
I have done the fixes here: https://helpx.adobe.com/substance-3d-stager/common-issues/gpu-rendering-is-disabled.html and I switched my Nvidia drivers to the studio version to try. I have also set 3D Stager under high performance mode in the Nvidia control panel as well, but nothing has worked.
I tried rolling back to older versions, but I cannot use my save with those versions which is frustrating.
My specs are:
3D stager version: 3.0.3
Windows 11
CPU: AMD 5900X 12core
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080
Ram: 32gb
