Splash screen... rhino taking 5 mins to open because of splash screen thing

i am guessing I ll not be the only one with this happening to soon, its with bt so the biggest internet provider in the uk. Appols for all the trouble and thanks greatly to everyones help your all amazing. I ll see if there are different levels of protection from BT and try switching some off. But why it sees a connection to you guys at rhino as forbidden I ve no idea though… but theres a chain of pole dancing mens clubs called spearmint rhino here in the uk maybe its that link. r

@pascal - it would be nice perhaps to allow the user an option to suppress the feed. I didn’t post this as a request on youtrack, as there were so many items already related to the splash screen - so maybe it’s already there somewhere?

i can honestly say i ve had x3 sleepless nights worrying about it and to be honest I ve never even looked at the news feed at any point but I guess its of interest to others. So yes option to turn it off may well be a good option though I understand that its an old version of rhino now. I think My current solution is to look into the restriction on the internet service but I d like to still safeguard my kids as they are only 9 and are you tube addicted. Thanks again though for your help and for being great its very reassuring there’s people out there which eased my stress levels greatly.

I am looking into getting a new graphics card simply to get the more recent drivers on it so I can use my v6 rhino as currently it doesnt run thinking its a driver thing. The graphics current card doesn’t lag at all and works absolutely fine no mater what I throw at it however drivers update no longer available since 2016! My freeform software also is telling me the card limits certain aspects of that software also.

thanks. r

just an update really. I ve lifted the restrictions on my internet provider and all fires all fast now… thanks. r

Hi Robin - did you try setting up a shortcut with the /nosplash switch? Similar idea to the -stopwatch only instead of -stopwatch add /nosplash

I added a YT (@Helvetosaur) - better a duplicate then none…

i did that and worked great when opening fresh but I open probs 30 models as existing files per day so think the braodband lift of limitataions better option as works as before now so all good. I want to get my v6 rhino on the go really now. Need to add a new graphics card that I just had arrive today. I started a new thread for advice in fitting it! thanks, r

Hi Robin - @robin just fyi, there is the possibility of disabling internet action for Rhino altogether, with a scripted install:
