Cycles and UI causing crash #58397

Closed
opened 2018-12-01 04:32:18 +01:00 by Justin · 6 comments

Operating system: Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.441)
Graphics card: GTX 970M

Broken:
(2.79b release)

Recently when opening User Interface or opening Blender Cycles on any default startup file, the program immediately crashes with no explanation. I have attempted to update the drivers of my computer and I've reinstalled Blender a few times to no avail. I was advised to create a .bat file in the Blender directory and open that, which works; however I still can't use the shortcut for Blender on my desktop and I'd rather not rely on a shady file.

This is what the .bat file consists of:
CD C:\ Path to blender
set CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST=NONE
start blender.exe
pause

I'm not sure how exactly this works but it does, perhaps that will help explain the crashing when opening the original blender.exe file.
(Apologies for any problems with the layout of this bug report; this is my first time and I imagine it's a bit different to most)

Does not sound like a bug I can easily reproduce. Maybe you know what is happening here @brecht?

Looks like this is the same as #57268 (at least there is some steps to try)?
Shall we continue discussion there? (in #57268)
