Hey all,

 

I have been experiencing constant crashes after updating my drivers to the latest version (Nvidia Graphics Driver vers 528.02; 3060ti). Bridge was running at the time. I also switched back from software acceleration to hardware acceleration.

 

Thanks for any help!!!

I had the same problem.  After about 30 crash report submissions to Adobe, someone from the Bridge team emailed me that NVIDIA 528.02 was the problem.  He suggested downgrading the NVIDIA driver.  By that time, I had already downgraded Bridge to the 2022 version and was having no problems.

 

I did a CLEAN reinstall of the NVIDIA 528.02 driver, upgraded Bridge back to the latest, and have no problems since - even after upgrading to NVIDIA 528.24.  I don't know whether downgrading Bridge first helped, or doing a CLEAN reinstall of the NVIDIA driver helped (or both), but I haven't had any issues since.

Having the exact same problem! I just recently switched to a 3060 Ti and figured i should update the drivers along with it, but now whenever i try to rate a file(cr3 files) it freezes and then crashes. Bridge has also suddenly loads things weirdly. 

Hoping this will be fixed quickly as i use Bridge in my work.

I haven't tried switching drivers yet but for now, I have just been using an older version of bridge and it's working just fine. I'll probably try out the driver fix later...

A bit of a mystery then!

I experienced constant crashes withe 528.02 but no issues with 528.24. (My GPU is Quadro RTX 4000.)

Same issue with me after a update to latest Nvidia driver for 2060 Super. Before that app kept working quiet smooth even a basic 1060 3gb card

I'll help you figure this out.

 

First, try to reset Adobe Bridge:

  • Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) when lanching Adobe Bridge until the Reset Settings dialog box appears.
 
  • Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

If this does not help, try this on Windows: GPU info & Logs location is %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw. A shortcut to get to this folder on Windows is:

  • Press the Windows + R
  • Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw

     

  • Rename the GPU & Logs folder in this directory by adding .old at the end. (GPU.old & Logs.old)
  • Restart Bridge, which should capture the updated driver & hardware capabilities.

 

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Hi Sameer,

 

Unfortunately, neither option fixed the problem. I did also notice that when I tried to reset Bridge I only got 2 options compared to the three you said I would get:

 

 

Thanks!
