Lightroom 6.14 crashes when using Face Identification

[ldevore]

I have the same problem as others have posted. I am using Lightroom Version 6.14 standalone verion. Any time my people tab is opened then the program crashes. I'm turned off GPU in my preferences and didn't work. I've uninstall and reinstalled and that didn't work.

I have a Windows 10 64 bit machine with 16 GB of RAM. Intel i7 core @ 360 GHz.

You are asking us for legal advice? Okay, I am not a lawyer, but here is my free advice: you certainly can sue Adobe, if you want, go right ahead. Please be sure to read the End User License Agreement that you agreed to when you purchased Lightroom 6, here it is if you can't find it: https://labs.adobe.com/technologies/eula/lightroom.html I call your attention (and your lawyer's attention) to the warranty terms described in section 6. Remember, you agreed to all of this.

In Europe there is a law against obsolescence program but indeed I don't know if there is the same in the US.

But at least there is a solution I hope some one will crack this limitation and share it like for the map module

More free legal advice: sure, go for it, at most you are going to get your purchase price back, and if you have to pay a lawyer for more than one hour of time, you are losing money.

you know, sometimes even big firm needs to comply with law https://www.challenges.fr/high-tech/obsolescence-programmee-la-france-condamne-apple-a-25-millions-d...

Anyway thank you for your advice

Big firm will have to comply with. Question of time.

here's an applescript that wors on big sur

on run {input, parameters}
	
	set ntpdPID to do shell script "systemsetup -getusingnetworktime; exit 0" with administrator privileges
	if ntpdPID is "Network Time: On" then
		do shell script "systemsetup -setusingnetworktime off" with administrator privileges
		do shell script "systemsetup -setdate '01:01:2020' -settime '12:00:00'" with administrator privileges
	else
		do shell script "systemsetup -setusingnetworktime on" with administrator privileges
	end if

	
	tell application "Finder"
    	activate application "Adobe Lightroom"
	end tell
	
	delay 10
	
	do shell script "systemsetup -setusingnetworktime on" with administrator privileges
	
	return input
end run

Same here. If anybody can figure out a fix, I'd be thrilled! I'd hate to have to subscribe . . .

Great news for Mac users I think I have it :

open libfrsdk-8.6.0.so with hex fiend for instance ( ⁨Applications⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe Lightroom⁩ ▸ ⁨Adobe Lightroom.app⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Frameworks⁩ ▸ ⁨CIT⁩ ▸ ⁨Plug-ins⁩ ▸ ⁨FaceRecognition⁩ ▸ ⁨FaceRecognitionCognitec.bundle⁩ ▸ ⁨Contents⁩ ▸ ⁨Resources)

search for 48 8D 3D 62 22 88 00 hex string and replace with 48 8D 3D 64 22 88 00

It works for me with 56000 photos no crash anymore and no need to change system date 😉

Only drawback is when I import a new photo, LR detects a face but doesn't provide a name. But I can still put a name so it's fine for me.

Maybe an other value allows this to work but it's ok for me.

If someone is interested I use cutter to open the file and search for anything that rings a bell (that was the first time I reverse something)

So happy !!

of course if you do this save everything before 😉
