Rhino arctic mode not working

Hello,
My Rhino does not give me the right arctic mode anymore since I was playing with some meshes in grasshopper yesterday.
Since then, I have tried…

  1. restarting computer
  2. _ClearAllMeshes
  3. restore default for arctic mode
  4. starting a new file with simple box.

Has anyone had the same issue or know how to fix?

Hi -

Please start by running the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Hi -
First of all, the current version of Rhino 7 is SR32 - you are running SR2. Please update Rhino.

Apart from that, it appears that something has happened to the GPU configuration on your system.

Between those two lines, I would expect there to be some “primary” device.
Also, you are currently running on software emulation of a GPU:

You’ll to find out which GPUs you have on your system and install the most up-to-date drivers for those.
