I can't even seem to get Sampler to launch. New laptop, plenty of space, Intel Iris Xe Graphics Driver (ver 32.0.101.6078).

I just want to even RUN the program! I click "Open" and NOTHING happens. nada.

Can you please take a look at the minimum requirements to see if you meet them. You need a dedicated GPU to run Sampler smoothly.

just update driver to 572.70 NVIDIA new Game driver. Sampler works without any issues.

Tried updating the driver. Maybe it's the idiot behind the wheel here because I used to have the Material "Balls" I Could play with in the main screen and now I just get a black gridded Screen.

Can I run an older version of Sampler instead?
