Blank Workspace/Document Window in Stager

Hi there,

 

I've encountered an issue where no amount of uninstalling, restarting or resetting seems to fix for me. When I open an existing document or a new document, the workspace/document window/main screen is blank or black.

OK, so after some self-deep diving through the logs, I've fixed the issue.

 

It's all down to potentially the temp file shaders it's referencing, which are not deleted when you uninstall.  I have cleared all of the folder users/YOURNAME/AppData/Local/Temp, in particular the folders referencing aeroresource in the name, and it has worked!

Hello @Yanni29578834dccb,

 

I'm merging your thread with this one considering it shares the same topic.

 

In addition, I advise you to follow the mentioned solution upthere and to clear all of the folders users/YOURNAME/AppData/Local/Temp, in particular the folders referencing aeroresource in the name

 

If this doesn't help, let me know.

I have a similar issue, with a slight twist. I don't even see the gizmo and the "x" close button(or any close action) does nothing. I've tried the prescribed fix of deleting aeroresource temp files, restarts, reinstalls, all to no avail.

I'm having this problem right now. Solutions I used to overcome this problem

- The graphics card driver was cleanly installed.
- Temp folder has been cleared.
- Nvidia Sharpeen has been turned off.
- Verified AVX or AVX2 compatibility of the processor.
- The program has been completely reinstalled.

 

but I still can't get over the result.

 

Please urgent help....

I'm having this exact issue, emailed substance3d-bugs@adobe.com on Jan 10 with no reply yet. I can't even change the background colour (well, I can change it, but you still see nothing in the workspace). I've got work I need to complete but I can't do anything with the software.

Hi SpyFi,

 

I'm exactly the same sure I can render the final output, but if I can't 'stage' in stager, I can't complete my work. Hopefully, they will fix it asap as I have deadlines this week.

Can you do any operation in Stager? Is it possible for you change background color?

Hi Ares,

 

I can add elements like dragging over one of the starter assets from the library, and it shows the rough blue box positioning in the blank window, but I have no idea where it is placed. I also can render the asset, but nothing appears in the design window.

 

Graphics Card Specs if it helps are: Nvidia RTX 3070 running Geforce Studio Driver 511.09

I'm on a RTX 2060 driver 511.23 - and with me it renders the asset, but you can't see anything in the workspace as well.
