Thumbs

[Alienhead]

Is this an AMD thing still?  I usually never show generated thumbs for models if it's even getting generated.. And also for MATS, when I create a new mat it shows as blank box.  This has happened since the early beta's.. Was wondering if it was tied to the amd drivers as well.

BTW, amd released new drivers this week..   No improvements with all the issues I've had using the engine.

This happens for all models, even the ones included in the project template?

I would say 9 out of 10 models I import this happens to.   The ones in the project template are OK. 

If i click a model I import that does not have a thumb,  I have a 50% chance of the editor closing/crashing. If it loads up the preview window and I hit save then I usually get a thumb the next time I load up the editor. Not always though, it's really hit and miss.

Can you upload a model that reliably causes this error?

Here is what happens when I use this model:

So I guess we can say this is an AMD issue. What card?

One more question, does this command work correctly on your mchaine?

Amd rx 7600 xt.

I'll test the function out as soon as I get off work.

Negative, just a silent shutdown.  Sometimes I have to power boot my system, it''ll sit there and then slowly become nonresponsive.  Is this the same command used to switch to the single viewport mode in the editor? That option in the editor acts identically to trying to run this script.

That is the "screenshot" command.

[Alienhead]

Not sure if this helps any but...  with the last few dev builds the editor does not always load up. I would say 3 out out 5 times it sits theres and memory gets used to the point my mouse won't move.  I either have to do a power-cycle or get lucky with ctrl alt delete and shutdown the app.

[Alienhead]

Also when I do get loaded up, clicking on a some mats or mesh models will crash the editor after a few seconds.  I have to manually ctrl alt delete and shutdown preview.exe before I can even attempt another load up.

[Josh]

It sounds like there is some critical error that only affects AMD cards.

[Josh]

This may be fixed in 0.9.5 now.

[Josh]

Any problems still?

[Alienhead]

thumbs working fine now.  and no splash screen freezes.
