Prusa Slicer Crashing  

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

nVidia is generally safe. Usually turns out to be an install issue.  Where did you get the installer?

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

I did a unistall and clean my registry. I did download again the software from the oficial website. I hope that now it runs good. 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

OK the solution only lasted a few days I dont get why this is happening. now its starting to crash again. for no reason just like before. and I have done nothing to the computer. 

my machine is Windows 10 Home Single Language 64-bit , Intel Core i5 @ 2.30GHz, 8,00GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630 (Acer Incorporated [ALI]), 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (Acer Incorporated [ALI])

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Hello,

I have exactly the same behaviour on my laptop. After starting PrusaSlicer it crashes sometimes after a few seconds or after slicing. No change after reinstall. No other application on the Laptop is crashing

My installation: Windows 10 Home 1903, newest updates, Acer A515-52G-58S9, 8GB RAM, System 128GB SSD, Data 500GB SSD

Hello mate nice to hear that its someone out there reading my problem. So sorry that you have the same issue. if you find a solution would you let me know? please try this, right click on the software and choose. processing graphics, and then select change processing graphics. then find the prusaslicer software and change it to use high performance graphic card. I have NVIDIA graphic card and you? let me know how t goes if it helps!

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Make sure your video can support the latest OpenGL.  Some older Intel chips don't support the latest version, and unfortunately, these Intel chips are very common in laptops and notebook computers.  Pretty sure nVidia drivers all work, even on older hardware. 

Here's a thread worth reading:

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

As a side note: isn't there a known Windows 10 issue with some apps being UAC limited after one of the recent updates? 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

I have the same issue. Both with 32 bit and 64 bit on windows 10. It's a beefy laptop with plenty of RAM. Uninstalled and installed several times. It'll work fine for one or two STL's then crash after crash. 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

I just bought my computer 2 months ago. I dont think that my intel chip its too old. 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

Something that I did realized though its that when I just got the computer everything did work perfect. and then because I needed for other programs to update my NVIDIA drivers and also the CUDA. The slicer started to have this problem. So I think that the problem might be related to that. 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Same for me. I have this on my new work laptop which is pretty beefy. Solidworks etc work perfectly. I get bad allocation errors and insufficient RAM errors usually - when trying to open an STL and if I get lucky and it opens - then it's when I try to slice. Seems to be random, not just a particular STL, i get random errors on many STL's. I guess I'll just have to use my home desktop and CURA for awhile. I get the same errors on my laptop, our dedicated printing laptop, coworkers get the error randomly as well, plus my home desktop does the same.

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

There are many many model errors that will cause Prusa Slicer to crash.  So if the model is broken, don't blame the slicer, too much.  If it loads, and you see errors reported, fix the model.

Sure, a model error shouldn't crash the app - but almost every 3D CAD tool I've used will crash if you ask it to do something with a broken model -- and some just crash for the heck of it.  Cura is no exception.  But if that app floats your boat: go with it.

I'm using the latest nVidia drivers on my GTX1080 without issue (the new drivers broke other things though). All on Windows 7 though.

It might be worth going over to github and searching for issues related to crashes.  There might be additional info that helps.

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

Thanks for the answer. but the crash its not related to bad 3d models. sometimes I dont even have time to load the model and the slicer crashes. 

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

Cisco: Which printer profile are you using?

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

And this issue report has a possible solution ...

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

@tim-m30

I am attaching here a screenshot. I have changed the profile though. and I still get the problem. Thanks for trying to help.

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

A side note: a weird thing I've dealt with on Win7 is the dash in the slicer program name. UAC and file associations break when prusa-slicer.exe is called, but work when prusaslicer.exe is called.  So I copied prusa-slicer.exe to prusaslicer.exe and use that as my application name; and all shortcuts point to the new filename.

A crash after the screen you posted above is reported to be an OpenGL issue.  Try the software rendering approach I linked above.  You also might post the System Info reported by P.Slicer.  Here's my info from CopytoClipboard pasted here.

Hello Tim. What "software rendering approach "????

I have just enough time to open the slicer copy this info paste it here and then it crashes.

RE: Prusa Slicer Crashing

so this is what I get with PrusaSlicer systeminformation. Today PrusaSlicer crashes two times immediately after start. No .stl loaded. PrusaSlicer also does not remember last print, filament and printer configuration after a crash.
