Question

Designer crashing on scene or renderer change

Hi,

Whenever i change scene or renderer in Designer the app just crashes.  I've tried a bunch of stuff such as reinstalling Designer, GPU drivers, fiddling with a bunch of the settings within Designer to no avail.

Aside from that, it works fine - i can make as complex a texture as I like and open and close different files without issues.  But turning a cube into a cylinder is crossing the line.

Specs:

Laptop

GPU: 4080 
CPU: Ryzen 9 7945HX
32GB RAM

    Hello @marvin_7331,

     

    Thank you for the message.

     

    When launching the app after a crash, do you receive a pop-up window for crash report? If so, I advise you to fill the crash report and let us your e-mail, so we can contact you back. When filling a crash report, we receive log files, so it's easier for us to investigate into the problem.

     

    If the crash window doesn't appear for some reason, we'll find solutions, but keep me posted.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi , I've moved your post from the Substance Painter forum to the Substance Designer forum where you are more likely to get help with your issue.
