[Solved] [LinkStage3] FreeCad freezing problem

Post by balrobs »

When I enable the shadow mode my Freecad freezes.
Steps:
1) Start FreeCad Link Branch
2) Create new document
3) Goto Part worbench
4) Create a cube solid
5) Zoom, rotate and pan view -> everything OK
6) Activate command View\Draw Style\Shadow (V,9)
7) Zoom, rotate and pan view -> Freecad freezes!
Can somebody replicate the problem?

Does this happen with the official master as well? If not, please contact the author of the branch directly, probably in the assembly forum.

No, it only happens with the LinkStage3 branch ... only this branch can render in shadow mode which causes the problem.
Thank you for guiding my post in the right direction. I will contact the author in the assembly forum.
Edit: I see this problem only in Windows, Ubuntu seems ok!

It is most likely related to your graphics card/driver. Let me guess, are you using some old AMD graphics card?
Try Assembly3 with my custom build of FreeCAD at here.
And if you'd like to show your support, you can donate through patreon, liberapay, or paypal

I'm using NVIDIA Quadro M2000.
BTW let me say that I appreciate so much your straordinary work. I'm using your branch mainly because of the toponaming problem and FreeCad realy NEEDS that feature.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again ;)

Hello All.
I'm a bit late but...
I've got exactly the same issue on two windows systems (8.1 and Server 2016)
After updating graphics drivers issue is resolved.
My card is similar - Quadro K2000D.
I hope this helps.

P.S Many thanks realtunther for your effort, bringing us your build.
