Hello, the last thread related to this topic was over a year ago so I’m starting a new thread here. I just installed Rhino 8 WIP and it crashes immediately after starting up, before I can execute any command, etc. Has anyone dealt with this and discovered the issue?
For reference, I’m currently using Rhino 7 mostly on Windows 11. On startup of Rhino 8, I can see all the Vray panels undocked as one external plug-in that is loading up but unsure if that is an issue. Vray works fine on Rhino 7.

The GPU drivers; both Intel and Nvidia are stale. I’d update them using the vendor Web sites. Automatic chack for update tools do not work.
That said, the drivers are probably not the problem.
I suspect it’s one of your plug-ins.
While in Safe mode, go into Options > Plug-ins, and change the list filter at the top to “Plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino”.
Disable all of them.
Start Rhino normally and verify it opens.
Then one at a time, enable the plug-ins, restart, until you find the culprit.
