Photoshop CC 14.1 GPU not detected (MacOS)

So I upgraded to Photoshop CC 14.1  Mid 2009 Macbook, 10.8.4 6GB ram/NVDIA 9400M GPU 236 MB ram.

When I launch PS by itself, my GPU is detected. If I double click on a file, there is a delay in opening and I get this message:

Screen Shot 2013-09-09 at 12.37.16 AM.png

All my OpenGL functions are disabled. So now what can be done to get my GPU working as it did in 14.0?

I'll guess I'm out of luck since NVDIA doesn't issue updated drivers for my GPU.

Just tell me what logfiles you need and how I can get them for you. I'm thinking maybe 14.1 is too much for this system and I'll have to dial back if this is not a bug.

We have a workaround that should get the GPU working again with 14.1 on affected Mac systems...

1.  Navigate to the folder where the application is installed <OS Volume>\Applications\Adobe Photoshop CC\

2.  select the Adobe Photoshop CC application and right-click or control click on it - then select Show Package Contents from the menu options

3.  Navigate to the following location (within the app package):  Contents\MacOS\

4.  in that folder you should see something called sniffer - rename that by

Same problem here, I'm DESPERATE !!! Before the Update it worked flawless, never had a problem.

Nvidia 680 GTX Mac Edition !!!

I NEEEED the GPU badly because i work with a Wacom multitouch tablet and i need to rotate the view with my fingers FAST...

Adobe, please HELP!

Is there ANY configuration file to force the GPU ? Like the cards.txt file in Premiere or AfterFX ?

I had thought my GPU was borderline and the .1 update pushed it over the edge,so I'm in the process of dialing back to 14.0 for now.

An NVDIA 680GTX is more advanced than what I have. I'm surprised the sniffer failed on that.

OH dear.  Several similar reports already.  Has anyone had a problem free upgrade to 14.1? If so, what sort of hardware configuration?

Since update to 14.1 OpenGl module cannot be loaded.

I have an iMac 9,1 with ATi Radeon HD 4850 and before this update there was no problem.

How do i rollback to 14.0, uninstall and reinstall ? Or will it reinstall 14.1 again (latest) ?

In other words, does the Cloud install the 14.0 by default  or the latest (14.1) ?

I'm having this same problem.

I asked adobe about it, and they told me I had to contact Apple to get help with re-installing my driver. I insisted it was a problem with 14.1 specifically, since 14.0 worked just fine, but they prevailed and I contacted Apple.

Apple had me try out a few things, but in the end they said it's probably a problem on Adobe's part. So now here I am.

Same specs as DehGeh.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photshop from Creative Cloud, and got version 14.0. But then I updated to 14.1 to see if the problem occured again, and it did.

Hoping to see a solution to this, as using Photoshop is really sluggish when it's not using the proper GPU.

I'm running PS CC 14.1 on Mac systems with nVidia Geforce 650M and 680 GTX cards with full GPU capabilities.

This appears to be a Mac OS X problem only - is anyone experiecing this issue running Windows?

Here's a possible workaround if you are seeing this:

Try logging out and back into your user account (or better yet, restarting your system), then launch PS while resetting the preferences (shft-opt-cmd during launch).  Now check Performance preferences in PS and see if the card is recognized and GPU features are working as expected.

If this doesn't work to mitigate the issue, please post your system specs here (OS, video card GPU, Mac model) and we'll see if we can reproduce the issue here.


Thanks,

Adam

Reverted to 14.0, and will stay on it... works flawless. Until you guys fix 14.1 or only in 14.2 ? Whatever...

Still i dont get how such highend standard components like Mac Pro,10.8.4,CUDA, GTX 680 arent tested enough... Especially on the Mac where you dont have Millions of Models like in the PC World (and ironically this problem is only on Mac!).. LOL

In case that there were some modifications for 10.9 that caused the problem, ok, but still watch out for production-ready 10.8 binaries, we users DEPEND on it, even if tomorrow 10.9 would be presented at the Apple keynote, MOST user WILL NOT SWITCH for a LONG time (like me). Because to have a battle-tested OS (10.8) often is more important than a new OS (10.9). I will maybe switch when 10.x.2,3 or.4 comes out and bugs are ironed out, did that on the previous systems too.

Also i wanna add that 14.1 it launches SLOWER and is somehow sluggish even at processing CPU-only effects... 14.0 is fast like a flash.

I had this issue on Windows 7 x64 with AMD Radeon 6950 with latest drivers, even after completely uninstalling and then reinstalling all graphics drivers.

Renaming sniffer.exe fixed it.

Might be of note that I use two graphics cards, the other one being NVidia, but never had any problems before and OpenGL always auto-picks the main-screen adapter.

FYI, I have also an expansion PCIe card for external dual GTX, Cuda (octane render) for unbiased heavy-duty rendering... but my primary internal card is 680 GTX, so this shouldnt matter... maybe the new 14.1 sniffer has problems if more graphics cards are in the Mac present ?

We have a workaround that should get the GPU working again with 14.1 on affected Mac systems...

1.  Navigate to the folder where the application is installed <OS Volume>\Applications\Adobe Photoshop CC\

2.  select the Adobe Photoshop CC application and right-click or control click on it - then select Show Package Contents from the menu options

3.  Navigate to the following location (within the app package):  Contents\MacOS\

4.  in that folder you should see something called sniffer - rename that by simply adding a '~' at the begginning of the file name

Do not delete this file.  You'll likely need to remove the '~' in the future in order for future updates to work for 14.x.

We'll make sure this gets properly fixed soon.

Thanks,

Adam
