GH2 stuck loading

Yes, exactly the same. If you load the plugins beforehand, opening the canvas takes about 5 seconds. Then everything is slooow. if you hover over a component button it takes 2 seconds to highlight. Then you click and and release on the canvas and again another two or three seconds during which you can actually see it fading into existence… a very spiritual moment.

Now that is interesting. I’m not doing any blending animations when dropping objects on the canvas. Possible clue there @curtisw?

Hi. Does your rhino 7 take a long time to load too?
Mine takes a few minutes because it takes a long time to load the Rhino Legacy Render plugin.

No, Rhino 7 loads at normal speeds for me, it’s just GH2 I’m having problems with.

Hi. I had some issues with windows so I reinstalled it, keeping the files so not everything is fresh. I had to reinstall rhino 7 and 8. The problem in rhino 7, loading the rhino legacy render plugin is gone. The problem in rhino 8 / G2 is still the same. I will try a clean reinstall soon. Any news on mcneel side?

@Frane See if this post helps: PSA - Repair, don't Reinstall

Hi @Gijs. Thanks but I finally ended up formatting the partition and reinstalling windows. It now works perfectly. At least it’s not hardware. Rhino was the first program to be installed so I should be able to see if and when it is affected by other software. Maybe @Brayton_Orchard can try to repair if it works.

@Frane, just clarifying: so after doing what you mentioned above, GH2 now loads quickly and is no longer laggy?

Yes, loads and works as advertised (fast).

@Brayton_Orchard, @DavidRutten @Gijs . here GH2 gets stuck at 7% if the display is set to 150% scale! (windows settings, display) At 100, 125, 175 and 200% it works fine!
@Brayton_Orchard does this solve your problem too?

Nice find @Frane!

Mine also works at 125% and 200% display scale, but not 150% (my default setting) or 175% (didn’t try 100%). Loading speed and canvas navigation seem very fast.

I cannot repeat that here unfortunately. I set windows scaling to 150%, restarted Rhino and G2, loads up just normal.

Hi Frane -

Thanks for that! We got this reproduced on a developer’s machine and put it on the list:
RH-72064 Grasshopper 2: Doesn’t load past 7% when display is scaled and Rhino is in dark mode
-wim

Hi Wim. Great that it failed on your side too! Just to be clear, in my case dark mode has nothing to do with it.
