KISSlicer crashes on initial startup

[Muggs828]

Hello All,

Just like the subject says, When I run KISSlicer I get an immediate crash.

Win 7 64 SP1

I thought that because I was trying to run it from an external drive that that was the problem, but I get the same result from my desktop.

TIA,
Muggs

What version?

[Muggs828]

DUH! Sorry. 1.1.0 the "stable" one.

[Mikk36]

Could you also see, if the newer builds crash for you?

Nope! Bang, crash right away!

KISSlicer_Win64_1.5beta2.16

I'll try others next.

Thanks,
Muggs

No Joy for any of the beta version either!

Here are some screen shots of Windows Event Viewer:

If I try to run from external drive, BAM instant crash. If I try to run from desktop, it hangs forever (I waited 15 minutes).
It has to be something with my configuration because everyone else seems to be able to run the program.

I just tried both stable version 1.1.0 as well as 1.5beta2.16 and both worked flawlessly on my laptop.

SO, after now having a look at the UI, I can see that it's probably a graphics issue, as I never get a "view" in the graphics box before my crash.

Graphics card is AMD FirePro V4900 if that helps.

Graphics card is AMD FirePro V4900 if that helps.

I observed something similar with a FirePro V4800 a while ago. In the course of trying to solve a completely unrelated problem, I installed different graphics driver versions and used the opportunity to also check KISSlicer's behavior.

KISSlicer worked with:
* Win64/v8.911.3.3 (certified [=WHQL?])
* Win64/v13.352.1014 (Retail End User)

It did not work with (crash/hang):
* Win64/v12.104.2 (WHQL)
* Win64/v13.152.4 (WHQL)
* Win64/v14.200.0.0 (beta/RC)

Dreide,

Thanks! That's great information. I'll try that tomorrow morning.

OK, I tried many different FirePro V4900 drivers to no avail!

I'm out!
