Snap Camera doesn't load any lenses

[Speedy2662]

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• Server Version: 3.2.1
• Snap Camera Version: 1.21
• Signature Patch applied: yes

The Docker server is online;

What I see when I open Snap Camera:

Log.txt

[ptrumpis]

Is https://studio-app.snapchat.com/ reachable in your browser?

Are you sure snap camera was fully closed?

 pkill -x "Snap Camera"

[Speedy2662]

Is https://studio-app.snapchat.com/ reachable in your browser?

I cannot access https://studio-app.snapchat.com/. An error occurred during a connection to studio-app.snapchat.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Are you sure snap camera was fully closed?

Yes, the process was closed, not just minimised. I didn't touch Snap Camera until the server was fully online.

Looks like an SSL problem.

Did you use AutoConfig.exe or manual configuration?

[ptrumpis]

What about these links, are both working or is one of them failing?

http://studio-app.snapchat.com/ http://127.0.0.1/

[Speedy2662]

I used AutoConfig. I can also confirm I installed OpenSSL-3.2.1 prior to using AutoConfig

http://127.0.0.1/ loads Snap Camera Server Files, the other studio-app link does not

[ptrumpis]

If the domain fails there might be a problem with the hosts file located in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\etc

The entry is missing or it's not getting honored. Are you behind a proxy or vpn?

[Speedy2662]

I am not using a proxy, vpn, or any kind of antivirus or firewall software which doesn't come with Windows

[ptrumpis]

These commands may or may not help.

In Terminal

ipconfig /flushdns

In PowerShell

Clear-DnsClientCache

I looked into the hosts file and as you suspected there was no mention of snapchat anywhere.

After adding 127.0.0.1 studio-app.snapchat.com to the end of the file, executing the two commands you mention in your last comment and then restarting Snapchat, it worked!

I must note that editing the hosts file was for some reason way more difficult than I ever remember it being - running Notepad++ / Notepad as administrator was not enough to let me edit or save it.

I had to make a copy on my desktop, edit that then drag it back into the directory replacing the original. Odd!

Thank you for your assistance

I have a quick question and I'm unsure if it might be related to the above - but are AI lenses such as 'Cubism Art by Snapchat' supposed to work? When I select it nothing happens, and I don't think I saw any mention regarding these :)

Others - such as Beauty Cartoon by Snapchat just show the missing texture;

[ptrumpis]

Beauty Cartoon should work. Cubism Art might work after additional patching with a tool.

You need to select the non working lens and attach your log file again, then I could tell you the exact problem.

Here it is. Appreciate your help and work on this project brother, thank you

Edit: I think it has to do with the blending mode as you answered in another thread. I'll attach logs for another which doesn't work

You should be able to resolve this by following the instructions here: https://github.com/ptrumpis/snap-camera-server/wiki/Updating-Snap-Camera-(Unofficial)

Or by simply downloading the CoreResources.bundle Folder from the Asset Repository.

This is a little bit more complicated and will hopfully be resolved with the next v4.0 server version. You would have to patch the lens as it contains an unknown blend mode.

Another user made a video tutorial about it: https://github.com/ptrumpis/snap-camera-server/discussions/125

That user also provided some patched lenses: https://github.com/ptrumpis/snap-camera-server/discussions/119

I actually have done! I will attempt the update guide now, thanks. [Edit: I was putting them in the wrong folder :) the guide made this clear]

I will probably wait for the 4.0 version to fix the blend modes - I downloaded the #119 lenses you linked but I haven't looked into how to import them yet. Thanks for providing the link there! [Edit2: The Python tool won't work for me as it can't find a suitable version of pyqt5-plugins to install, and the cache import website throws up a 'Network Error' - Changing the server address to 127.0.0.1 gives a "Request error: " instead. This one is probably actually related to the above issue!]

Once again, appreciate your help.
