New trial rhino 7 is locking up

New trial rhino 7 locks up with no response so even ctrl alt del wont work.
Is there a setting or preference to help.
AMD Ryzen 5800x, Radeon pro graphics etc solid state hd. so good for solid modelling.
Does Rhino support multy threading?
HELP!

Can you actually get Rhino started in normal mode at all? If so, please run SystemInfo and copy paste the results here. If not, will Rhino start in safe mode?

Hi
Yes I can start it. Here is the sys info.

If you go into Options > View > OpenGL and uncheck the GPU tessellation checkbox, does it stop the crashing?

BINGO!!! Thank you so much Helvetosaur. At first try that did the trick.
Now I have the daunting task of learning this program.
thanks again
Norbert

Yes, there seems to be a problem with certain models of ATI cards and GPU tessellation currently.

Hi
Indeed I have had more problems with Rhino ceasing to respond.
It’s unfortunate, the program seems to be very good but will be useless
if it has these glitches. It seems that this sort of instability is common to many CAD programs.
Is there a fix in the pipeline?

Hi Norbert- if you are having trouble with the graphics in Rhino even with GPU Tessellation off, try moving the openGL slider on that same page in Options one notch to the left.

Thanks Pascal
I’ve changed that setting but have not had time to test.
I’m not well (old) and will get back to this later.
I obviously have much to learn about Rhino.
Thanks again
Norbert
