Hi Wim,
Thank you so much for the link!
As I was using rhino today, I noticed that my plug in were not working. When I go to options, under “plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino” there are 5 listed and theyre all enabled but theyre not working. Maybe when I installed Rhino again I did something? I have Rhino 7 installed too and in the system info, it comes up.
As to the OpenGL level, Im sorry Im not really sure. It might have been set up before. I`m not really sure about those settings.
Hi Nicole -
Is the other person in the office also using those plug-ins?
What happens when you right-click those and pick “Load plug-in”?
What happens when you put that back to maximum on the Rhino Options -> View -> OpenGL page and restart Rhino?
Hi Wim,
The other person in the office is not using the same plug in.
Now Im able to use the plug-ins with the previous version so there is no problem.
I changed the OpenGL settings, nothing really changed with the old version that I could see but Im still unable to open the newer version.
Hi all,
I’m experiencing a similar issue. I can only start Rhino 8 in safe mode (I just re-installed the latest version [rhino_en-us_8.21.25188.17001]), and I have no external plug-ins enabled.
I’ve used Rhino daily for several years with no real issue before this, and it just so happens to coincide with the timing of my system update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Everything was fine before the update, and since then, my normal startup behavior is: I see the plug-ins begin to load, and then Rhino quits unceremoniously, usually right around the words “Rhino is loading plug-in :3Dconnexion 3D Mouse”. Though periodically, I’ve seen popups after the failure, always of the type “Rhino 8 Plug-in failed to load”, but always pertaining to different internal plug-ins (“Displacement.rhp”, and “3dxrhino.rhp”, to name a couple).
@wim, since you’ve been able to help before, would you mind also sending me an older version to install and test?
A followup here - the only installer I could find on my own system was 8.3.xx, which gave me no issues once I installed it. I’d love to be able to roll back just a version or two from current, if possible.
I’m having the same issue with Rhino 8, total crash during loading of plugins. Tried reinstalling with clean uninstall. Unfortunately, I’ve been very good about cleaning out my downloads folder so I have no older install files.
Have you been able to get the newer version to work?
Thanks for the response! No, I haven’t had any success with a newer version. One of the symptoms of this issue was that jSwan stopped working entirely, despite the files being properly installed, so I’ve had to spend my free time creating a workaround for that storing data using a CSV format rather than JSON.
Did you perform a clean install of just Rhino, or your OS as well? I’m leaning towards a clean windows install to get this back on track, unfortunately, I just haven’t had the time to actually commit to that path yet…
I did a reinstall of Rhino, following the instructions on the website to do a complete uninstall. I’m also considering a full system reinstall, but that would be a full day on my work pc.
@wim, can I get a link to a previous version of Rhino?
Perhaps it is relevant: I’ve installed the WIP and it will not start either, just popping up with this dialog-
I am also having issues with Rhino sr20 8.21 and newer crashing during the startup.
Is it possible to get a download link to rollback my rhino to version 8.20?
Hi @Japhy,
Could you send me link for Rhino 8 SR3 (8.3.24009.15001) English version.
Thanks in advance.
@Damian8 can you send me a pm with your email you use for your Rhino account?
Why do you want such an old SR? Since then a ton of bugs have been fixed.
Hello, I’ve just updated and I am getting the same issues. I have a deadline on Monday so any help would be greatly appreciate. Last stable verion I had was 8.18.25100.11001
i need a link for one of the older version of rhino before 8.8
a version that work with matrix gold 3
send me a couple so i can check what work best
hi japhy, can u send me the 8.0 version install file, thx a lot.
Hi ifsdesign, 8.0? The current release is 8.25, is there a particular regression we can repeat?
The current release seems to be incompatible with one of our custom plugins. The issue does not occur in version 8.0, which works correctly.
Sent. Let us know what you find out. Thanks!
HI Japhy, is there a general link we can access to download previous versions of rhino 8? I’m trying to run a wind analysis through Eddy3D and it requires me to use Rhino 8.15. Before I was using 8.24 and kept running into issues.
Hi Andrew -
No there isn’t.
Running an older version of Rhino introduces a lot of bugs that have been fixed. You should contact the author of plug-ins that you are having issues with in the current version of Rhino.
That said, I’m sending you a link to 8.15…

Thanks Wim!
