Crashes loading Average SubD 100%.

Tried to uninstall and install Rhino and the same problem appears

How many monitors are you running? The video driver looks a little outdated.

That wouldn’t affect booting up grasshopper, very unusual.

Would you like to try the previous release? I can send a link.

Thanks for the feedback. I managed to find a solution, it was the plugin Pufferfish that prevented Grasshopper from opening. I still don’t know the reason but after removing it it started working again.
I’m runing one monitor, and I have updated the Nvidia drivers. Thanks for the tip!

What version of Pufferfish do you have?

@Michael_Pryor

I had the Pufferfish version V3.0

Hmn don’t see how that is possible, there is nothing “exotic” in Pufferfish code, just usual C# and Rhinocommon. Straight forward stuff. Am using it fine on many machines and entire office too. Never heard of that. Maybe you installed something incorrectly or in wrong place I dunno.

Crashes loading Average SubD 100%.

Funny that one is actually just a cluster of standard Gh subD and mesh components because at the time I made it there wasn’t any subD stuff in Rhinocommon. Did you put those subD components in user objects folder? They should be there instead of Libraries. Only the gha goes to libraries.

but yea, no issues here in latest R7 - My guess is improper installation.

It’s probably just an error installing Pufferfish or even a coincidence when loading Grasshopper, this plugin being the last one to load.
I can only say that after removing Pufferfish Grasshopper was loaded again. I’ve been having problems with other Grasshopper plugins too, mainly Climate Studio, so I can’t affirm what is the cause. Thanks for the feedback.
