Blank Viewport

A few months ago I had the free trial version of Adobe Substance Stager and it worked fine. We recently decided to purchase the Adobe Substance plan, but now Stager no longer works on my computer. Whenever I open Stager, the viewport only shows a blank black screen. The toolbars are visible and working, but if I drag an object or material into the viewport, nothing happens. Also, I can only close the program by ending it via task manager.

I am on a Windows 10 Home XPS 8900 with 16GB RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor and a Nvidia GeForce GT 730 graphics card with the Game Ready driver (there are no Studio Drivers available for this card). The Nvidia driver is up to date; Stager is up to date. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Stager multiple times, as well as trying older versions of Stager in case it was a problem with a recent update. 

 

I am not sure if this is a compatability issue with my graphics card (which is rather old) or what. Any help/info is appreciated!

Hi @PechmannMem!  Can you take a look at this support article and try those suggestions first?  If it worked before it should work again!  The most likely candidate in your case may be removing the shader cache.
