Startup crashes on Photoscan/Metashape
« on: May 23, 2019, 07:51:21 AM »
Various versions of Photoscan crashing on startup?

Hi--I had an old version of photoscan that I last used a year or two ago with no issues, but now I'm getting a "not responding"  error.  Just on a whim, I decided to download Metashape standard to try out the demo, and similarly crashes on startup, with a blank "not responding" window.  I'm wondering if it's conflicting with a graphics driver or some other software--any recommendations?

Thanks!

Steve

Hello Steve,

If you see the crash reporter dialog, please submit the report and add the link to this thread to the comments field, so that we could identify your report.

Also please specify, which OS version you are using and which GPU is used as a primary OpenGL rendering device for Metashape/PhotoScan?
Best regards,

I had issues identical to what is described.

The solution, at least in my case, is peculiar but it works.

Metashape would load up and instantly lock up (Not Responding), showing only a blank white screen.

Machine specs:

Ryzen Threadripper. 64GB RAM. RTX2080TI. Win10 1809. TWO MONITORS.

The last part is important as the program will only freeze up when it loads up on the secondary screen, something it was defaulting to.

Solution was to switch off the second screen. Start up metashape. Close metashape on the primary display and carry on with life. Maybe a display drivers thing.

Hello KDSTanhope,

Thank you for providing additional information regarding the issue.

Can you please confirm that both monitors in this case are connected to the same graphic card? Please also specify NVIDIA driver version.

Hi Alexy.

They are both plugged into the same card. Main screen in to the HDMI port and the secondary screen in the Display port.

Driver version is: 430.86
If you know of a more stable version please let me know.

Hi Melo.

The issue was resolved as such:

Solution was to switch off the second screen. Start up metashape. Close metashape on the primary display and carry on with life.

However more recently a driver update seems to have fixed the issue.

I have never felt more grateful for forums than today!  :D

 We were about to send back our new Alienware Aurora R12 because of this not responding message, after our technician declared it a hardware problem (he had already tried for many hours to find something else wrong but everything checked) but this advice saved the day! Thabnk you, I think its safe to say I would never have considered it myself...
