Rhino 8 Crashing Frequently

Rhino

Rhino 8 keeps crashing while performing routine operations. Lately, it seems to crash while turning layers on and off. I have updated my video card and Windows is up to date. I get crash reports which I am sending to McNeel. What follows is my system info.

Hello- is this file specific or with any file? e.g. is it possible layers turning on may show something that Rhino is having a hard time shading, say?

Hey Pascal. It has happened with two different files today. This has happened in the past but when I updated Rhino, that corrected the issue. But not today. I’m just drawing lines for a boat. There are some surfaces in the file but no shading.

Hello- if you can send us the file (tech@mcneel.com) and some idea of the steps to reproduce the crash if that is possible - you may have outlined this in the crash reports - thanks for sending those in - if so, we can work with that I think.

-Pascal

Will do. Thanks.

@majors101 one of my colleagues noticed the .NET framework - we’d expect .NET 7.0

Did you make that change?

-Pascal

7

I did not.

@majors101 - it’s possible things may work better if in Options > View > OpenGL page you un-check ‘GPU tessellation’ for now. It’s better if that is on, in general, but the crashes seem to be associated, possibly, with clipping planes and we;'ve seen that sometimes helped by unchecking that setting.

Hi @majors101,

Are you launching Rhino.exe with the /netfx command line parameter, or does Rhino’s SetDotNetRuntime report NETFramework?

From your crash reports, it looks like your dragging layers in the Layers panel. Is this correct?

I will give that a try.

14

I was using Orca’s WIP for a bit and then uninstalled it. If I remember correctly, I had to add something to the .exe name. It might have been the /netfx parameter but I do not remember.

15

Please be sure tp set GPU Tessellation setting back to checked if it - as is likely, I’m told - does not help.

HI @majors101,

Check the properties of your Rhino shortcut:

If you see “/netfx” after “Rhino.exe”, please remove it.

Thanks,

– Dale

Noted.

18

I know that I added /netfx when I started using Orca but when I checked the shortcut this morning, it wasn’t there. My shortcut looked like your image.

19

I missed the second part of your question. When I run that command, I see “Currently running .NET in NETFramework.”

20

@majors101 - Please run Rhino’s SetDotNetRuntime and set Runtime to Default and then close and restart Rhino.

Thanks,

– Dale

Done. I will be using Rhino for most of the day tomorrow. I will respond to this thread if the problem persists. Thanks for your help.

Well, I thought the problem was corrected but Rhino crashed on me again. It seems that it crashes when I am turning layers on or off.

@majors101 - did you submit a crash report?
