Canceling render takes too much time #52188

Closed
opened 2017-07-25 16:08:30 +02:00 by developer.blender.org · 16 comments

System Information
Operating system: Windows 10 64x

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x9838)
OR
AMD E1-2500 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics 1.40GHz

I might be looking at the wrong settings, since I have no idea what the format is for a graphics card.

Blender Version
Broken: 2.78c ( hash: e92f235283 )

Short description of error
When I render my model then press 'Esc' shortly after, the "Canceling..." message appears for a very long time. (sometimes over 20 minutes)

It has never taken this long before. All of a sudden everything turned extremely buggy and prone to crashing.

While it is canceling, I cannot do anything else on Blender.

I posted this problem on blender.stackexchange.com, someone there told me that this is not supposed to happen and recommended me to submit it here.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

https://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com/b/3591/

  1. Render (1920x1080px, 100%, 1000 samples)

  2. Cancel render shortly after.

Cancels almost instantly here, try starting blender with the --factory-startup parameter, to rule out any add-ons causing issues.

I just re-installed Blender and repaired it, if it was a problem with blender it should work now!
And I'm just a beginner at Blender, I don't have any add-ons (yet).

Just in case I have to do what you said, can you explain how to start off with the --factory-startup parameter please?

thanks!

Not really sure what GPU you have from your description, but you must have GCN 2 architecture or newer to use it with Cycles. You can look to see if its listed as such here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units.

Please also check if you can reproduce with a recent build of Blender (a daily build from here https://builder.blender.org/download/) and that all graphics drivers are up to date.

..That's strange. I can't find my GPU on the list. It seems to conveniently skip over the 2500's. (I used Ctrl+F to be sure)

And I will try it again with the newest version that I updated it to, as soon as I get some spare time on my hands. Thanks for the help!

If you use shortcut, just add --factory-startup after blender.exe (with a space after .exe).

or if you use command line by running cmd.exe, just type blender.exe --factory-startup

since you said you solved the problem by re-installing blender, maybe its an installation issue. so closing this for now.

Very late and un-timely reply, but I never said that the problem was solved. I was on a trip for a few days and I never had the chance to check it out.
