Windows 11, Natron won't launch. #852

Open codefist opened 1 year ago

codefist commented 1 year ago

up-to-date windows 11, verified on two separate computers. Two new alienware m15 r7, windows 11. Zero custom anything on these machines, totally vanilla.

Steps to reproduce as a standard naive windows user: Download, unzip, install. Won't launch (silent failure), reboot no effect.

Thanks for the recommendation, but that didn't work.

I updated the Windows build with a possible fix.

I can run it in terminal but it doesn't load up the gui

But no gui.

I found out what MY issue was, I'm on a laptop and with the windows 11 dual graphics setup for some reason Natron.exe defaults to onboard graphics, I set it in the Nvidia Drivers Settings to use the NVidia card and now it runs.

Another possible fix: when installing Natron, make sure to opt in the OpenGL box, that fixed it for me

This was it. Don't know why natron doesn't default to discreet card though...

This is normal. Natron uses the default OpenGL device defined by the system. If you have NVIDIA Optimus you right click the application and select what GPU you want to use, or go into the NVIDIA settings and set it there.
