Hej @sonderskovmathias
It might be that the kernel has been updated in the latest WIP, or that you’ve updated your driver - this will spark a recompile, and it can sometimes take a while. But shouldn’t take more than 15-20 minutes, I think :thinking:

So solution is to just keep the viewport open while I go to lunch? I’ll keep you updated :popcorn:

Hi @sonderskovmathias
If it fails, you can force a recompile here:
