Can't start Dimension CC

[Luckrow]

When i go to start the application it says: "Does not meet minimum OpenGL version".

And thats not true, i did a full system check just to be sure but i do meet all requirements:

CPU - i7-4790k
GPU - GTX1080Ti (driver up to date also)
RAM - 32GB
OpenGL - 4.6

So... please send help?

There's a few possibilities. Your machine may have both a discreet and integrated GPU and it's checking the information for the integrated instead of the discreet.  You can try setting your machine to use the discreet GPU before launching:  Optimize performance Dimension CC .

If that doesn't work please provide some more information.

• Is this happening when you install the application in Creative Cloud or when you launch the application on your computer?
• Does it allow you to continue or does it block you from launching the app?  If it's just a warning you can ignore it, it's likely just wrong.
• If it's happening at application launch, please locate your Dimension log files and attach as a link to a shared file (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) or e-mail to tickets@adobedimension.com with a link to this forum as reference.  Please do not copy/paste log information to the forums.  Here is the information for finding logs:

DimensionGPUProfiler.log

Dimension.log

Mac:  ~/Library/Logs/Adobe/

Win:  ~\username\appdata\local\Adobe\Dimension

- I don't have another GPU in my desktop.

- It happens when i try to launch the app on my computer.

- It blocks me from launching the app

- Logs sended to the email provided

Thank you for sending the files!  It looks like it's actually an internet/connectivity issue in some regard.  Getting some connection errors in the log file that might mean it's having a hard time connecting to check and giving the wrong results for some reason.  I don't think this is actually related to your system requirements at all as the other log does confirm that you have a correct version of OGL.

gbl       Dbg      386ms>ASSERTION FAILURE: ..\..\..\components\psgpu\psgpu\gpu\win\GPUImplWin.cpp: 153: Condition : HRESULT FAILED, 'pLoc->ConnectServer'

gbl       Dbg      386ms>ASSERTION FAILURE: ..\..\..\components\psgpu\psgpu\gpu\win\GPUImplWin.cpp: 166: Condition : HRESULT FAILED, 'Could not set proxy blanket.'

This is a little unexpected.  If you can try relaunching Dimension and then closing it and see if you get the same dialog then open the GPU log and see if you see those same lines that would be great, just to confirm it's the same behaviour.  If it's different log information can you e-mail the updated logs to the same e-mail?

Windows + updated Driver = "does not meet minimum OpenGL version" error message

I assume its because we don't use the approved Microsoft driver... I would try the prerelease build which should ignore this error and see if that solves your block

[Luckrow]

I did download and installed the prerelease build and the problem still persisted...

[Luckrow]

Still no answer.....
check list of what i tried (without any assistance from adobe sadly.) and still same problem occurs (and YES it Locks me out of the app even in the prerelease version:

- Compatibility/admin mode
- uninstall/reinstall
- Live app Build/Prerelease build
- Disabled the processor graphics manually)
- Reinstalled GPU drivers
- Ran in Safe Mode

So.... pls someone help....

[Ussnorway]

imo the two issues are not related; the openGL always gets it wrong on Windows systems and makes no difference to the software so something else is blocking the start up ... here is my report for ref

[JeanetteMathews]

Just as a note, this is incorrect.  We have a hard block on Open GL 3.2 and won't allow you to open the application if you're below that (the dialog he showed states that the application will now close).  It's interesting your system check is saying you're below but still running, actually.  Going to have the engineers double check this area since this is unexpected.

show them this as well

[JeanetteMathews]

So sounds like a couple things are going on.

1.  For original poster, there's an error in our detection that is causing a failure. 

2.  For UssNorway's case it seems like there's a situation where we actually don't know and we display that you don't meet requirements.

We're going to fix this up for our next release!  In the mean time.

[kurtjoe123]

The program checks with an internet resource as part of checking the system requirements? 

If so,  it might explain why my system, (Macbook pro 2016 OpenGL 4.2) isn't permitted to run Dimsion CC 1.1.1 with "old open GL Version" complaint.   I'm using my Verizon Hotspot.  

[kurtjoe123]

found the problem! 

Duet hides the OpenGL

Cannot run with Duet running

Might wanna at this to the KB.

as in Duet pro? the old Apple Mac software for using your ipad as a screen

yes I can see why that would block Dimension from running... thanks for the notice

[sa1miart]

How about for Windows users? I have the same OpenGL issue, but I have version 4.0 installed.

[leerainstone]

Your advice has solved my problem. Thank you.

you can delete two files, they are in the paste of Adobe Dimension:

C: \ Arquivos de programas \ Adobe \ Adobe Dimension CC

 Deelete this files: node-gpu-sniffer.node e gpu-sniffer-core.exe

[matthew_m68453338]

I ran into this error on my Mac. Turns out the issue was using Sidecar and my iPad to extend my laptop's display. Turning off Sidecar fixed the issue.

[cbeasley0]

This also fixed it for me. Thanks!

[tias2g]

Thanks a lot @matthew, I had exactly the same problem and by turning out Sidecar fixed the issue.

[madakarinayaka N]

thank u it worked 

letme know how exactly this works  

[insight1111]

thank you so much! solved too.

[thesamug]

The hack is very simple you just need to delete two files

node-gpu-sniffer.node and gpu-sniffer-core.exe

They can be found on your default installation directory:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dimension CC

Make sure that you have administrative acess as you need to DELETE these files.
