Title: Build Tiled Model not using GPU - Failed to initialize context.
Post by: MichalDV on February 08, 2022, 01:16:41 AM

Hi,

I have a rather large project processing, during this step, it seems not using GPU but CPU which makes it super super slow.

Metashape 1.8.1 Build 13915 Windows 64bit

Hello MichalDV,

The problem is related to unexpected Vulkan driver update that is not considered by Metashape 1.8.1. We will fix that in the next update of Metashape 1.8.2 pre-release, meanwhile the temporary solution could be either disabling GPU for the texturing (via tweak) or to rolling-back NVIDIA drivers to 497.29 version (Dec 2021).

Thank you, rolling back drivers now.

Hi! Just encountered the same issue with updated NVidia drivers:

Failed to initialize context. Reason: vkCreateInstance: ErrorIncompatibleDriver:

I didn't have this problem with 1.8.4 and older drivers. Should I roll back?

Hell ilia,

Have you tried to download and install the most recent NVIDIA driver?

Hi Alexey,

Thank you for the quick reaction.  Updating to the
