I am not sure what to do next, the grasshopper third party plugins are not loading as well, I even tried removing and installing the plugins via package manager but to no success.

In Rhino Options > Plug-ins, change the list filter at the top from “All plug-ins” to "Plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino.
Disalble all of them including:

  • Karamba3DLicense
  • DiscordPresence

Close and restart Rhino.
Then will Grasshopper load?

Hi Altamiro -

The fact that those show up in the SystemInfo data means that they are loaded.

You are running in .NET Framework 4.8 and, apparently, that error message says you need to be running in the default .NET Core for that plug-in to run.

I will try that once I get home, but I think i was not clear enough, Grasshopper itself loads, but none of the Grasshopper plug ins are loading.

I see, those two doesn’t show up on GUI or anything, that is why I didn’t notice they loaded.

I am not sure what that means. But I remember that I needed to change something for Orca V3 to be able to run on Rhino 8. It must be related to that them, I will take a look to find a way to reverse that.

Thanks for the answers, I will get back here to report my results as soon as possible

edit. Corrected, what needed changing the config was Orca V3 not V2

Hi Altamiro -

The SetDotNetRuntime command lets you switch between those two. It’s possible, though, that you have modified the Rhino icon on the desktop with an argument to run in .NET Framework…

This did the trick, it made everything go back to normal and work and load properly.

Thank you for the support, I marked the answer as the solution.
