Rhino WIP 8 crashes immediately upon startup

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.

Thank you in advance!

Does the WIP start in Safe mode?

There are no crash reports associated with your email address, so I’m guessing Rhino’s crash reported is not coming up?

Moved to Serengeti category.

Hi Mario - please start V7 and run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Correct, no crash report coming up. It does open in Safe Mode.

Systeminfo in Rhino 7 is:

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.

Good luck

Thank you for your help. It was the Rhinobeat.7 plug-in. I’m not sure what this does and can’t find much information on it. Are you familiar with it?

Sorry, I’m not.
Maybe somebody here knows about it.
It might be on www.food4rhino.com too.

Glad you figured it out.

Great, thank you, John!

Hi Mario -
Apart from all that…

Note that the current stable version of Rhino 7 is 7.27!
-wim

I see your V7 is behind of several service releases too.
I’d get that updated.

Thank you, Wim & John for pointing that out.

Best,
Mario

Hi Ana -

You are reviving a very old thread. Could you describe the problem?
Note that you are running Rhino on a Windows ARM device, which is not supported.it should run, and possibly also draw curves, but we can’t currently support this platform.
