Armory crashing with standard scene

Armory Engine General
1

All I did was follow the Setup tutorial in the Armory Docs and my first problem arises.

I unpack it as suggested into a folder directly on C:.
Then I start it up (I actually renamed my 2.79 folder in my user prefernces so it does not use all the addons from my normal blender install)
I save the standard scene (cube, camera and lamp) to the same dev folder on C:, just to make sure there is no problem with restricted access and set the renderer to cycles.
Then I hit “Play in Viewport” and I see the bar in the top left corner fill to 50% and after a view more seconds the window jumps to (Not Responding) and stays that way until I forcefully end blender. Blender does not use any CPU performance when I look into the Windows Task Manager.

Any help is much appreciated because I have no idea where to even begin my search for the problem :(.

My setup is:
Intel i7 3770K
16GB RAM
Vega 64 8GB running on Driver 18.3.4
Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1709

EDIT: Rendering the scene in a separate window (F5) works fine.

2

Sounds like the same issue reported here. Looks like the temporary fix is to turn the renderer to “Forward” rather then “Deferred”.

3

Thank you for the tip but it also crashes when using the “Forward” renderer :(.

4

Dang! Do you get anything out of the ordinary in the console when this happens? (You may want to add your experiences to that github issue as well.)

5

No sadly the console stays silent. Its about 5 seconds after hitting the “Play in Viewport” button that blender becomes unresponsive. Happend to every scene (tried all the templates and tutorials on github) I loaded up so far, even though most of them run fine when started in a separate window (hitting F5).

Not so sure my problem is similar to the one from the link since I never got the “Play in Viewport” function to work.

But thank you for your effort, really apriciate it :).

EDIT: Just thought of something. Does blender have a log-file that could tell why it crashed?

6

There is a log (except if you’re on Windows as is your case & mine) so little help in this situation I guess. :frowning: You may want to see if you get anything out of the ordinary by running blender from the command line with the --debug argument. I’ve done this a bit, and while I’ve found a GL Error that may be causing other issues, nothing stood out too me for my similar issue.

7

Just run blender in debug mode and nothing really stands out. To me at least ;). Thanks for your help and maybe you can see something in this debug log.

Hm, at least the separate window works. There have been issues with new nvidia pascal cards a while ago which I managed to fix, wonder if something is upsetting the Vega…:(. Will try to test.

great thanks for your help and let me know if I can help you in any way with testing :).
