Hi
I am working on a 16inch macbook pro (intel i9), running windows 10 on bootcamp.
On previous versions of rhino 8, GH2 took a long time to boot (5 minutes or so) but I was willing to wait assuming it was going to be fixed. I downloaded the last versions of both Rhino and GH2 and now GH2 is stuck at 7% loaded (only the blue number 2 is visible on the splash screen…) I uninstalled Rhino8 completely and reinstalled with no improvement. Restarted windows ad it’s still the same… any ideas?
Hi. I uninstalled rhino 8 completely, erased the rhino 8 and grasshopper 2 folders I could find. Reinstalled both rhino 8 and gh2 and nothing changed. I left it running for 45 minutes and it didn’t move from 7%. In rhino 7 gh1 I have quite a few plugins installed. Happy to provide more info if you need.
I have the same issue as well: GH2 won’t load past 7%-ish, no matter how long it is running. I’ve updated Rhino 8 and GH2, no change. GH2 also took a very long time (20 mins) to boot on previous releases. Here’s my info:

I’ll need to see the log file. GH2 should load in about 2~5 seconds.
Try and find the folder %appdata%\Grasshopper2\Diagnostics\, delete all *.ghlog files in there to get a clean start, run the G2 command and once Rhino is shut down please upload the new *.ghlog file here.
no luck. GH2 shows the banner right away and then gets stuck at 7%. I installed the last version, deleted the files inside diagnostics, under Grasshopper2, and executed R8 and GH2. It froze so I had to kill the R8 process. The new ghlog file is empty. I added a “.txt” extension to be able to upload it here but I get this message: “Sorry, it looks like something has gone wrong, the file you are trying to upload is 0 bytes. Please try again.”
Mine was set to Default; changed it to NetFramework, restarted, same issue. Freezes at 7%. The little 2 icon shows up, but none of the package icons like math, etc.
Yes, I can run all those commands and interact with their dialog boxes without freezing. I can load all the plugins in the plugin viewer, but not sure if the invalid storable message has anything to do with this? After I loaded all the plugins from the viewer, the G2 command now loads grasshopper2 almost instantly, but moving around in the grasshopper2 window is very slow and laggy.
Great, progress! Is the canvas slow even with an empty file?
We’ll have to figure out somehow what part of the regular loading is different enough to cause a problem. Obviously I cannot use the log, which is a bummer because that’s exactly why it’s there in the first place. However I’m on holiday until the 10th of December, so I won’t be able to work on this before then, sorry.
The invalid storable doesn’t matter. It’s just a way for developers to find potential problems with their classes that I cannot enforce via code based rules (specifically, C# does not allow me to require constructors with specific signatures on derived types </geek alert>).
G2Contrast displays a random background colour with a darker and lighter foreground shape. You click on the one you like best and a textdot is added to Rhino recording that preference. During the development of auto-foreground colours in the icon code I needed lots of data points so I could try and come up with a rule for when a foreground should be darker or lighter in order to show up better. Me and a coworker spend a day or two clicking away and we collected several thousand samples. I then did some statistics to find what sort of surface equation in RGB space best represented the implied limit*. This command is just a left-over from early development I haven’t removed yet.
* interesting factoid; the amount of blue is almost entirely irrelevant. Which reduces the problem to a 2D equation, which is much easier to evaluate.
Yes, the file is totally empty and very slow (unworkably so). I can double-click to search, but the search bar appears outside of the GH window, and I can pull components from the toolbars down onto the canvas, slowly.
G2Contrast: very interesting, and (of course) way more complex than I expected!
Thanks. I guess I can try and artificially slow down the redraw speeds to see how that would affect the loading. I suppose it’s possible that GH is so busy drawing and redrawing the banner during regular loading that there’s no CPU left over for actually loading the plugins…
In the meantime, @curtisw do you have any idea why the refresh rate of the control might be so awful?
