Complete Crash

zog · 20th April 2024, 06:56 PM

AC3D was working on my system, but it now hard crashes whenever I try to select anything by dragging a selection box around it. As soon as I release the mouse button I am returned to the desktop. AC3D version 9.1

I tried updating my graphics drivers.

I tried AC3D on a different machine. This time it does crash, but face selection does not work. Turning on select through allows the face to be selected but you also get other unwanted faces being selected. I am guessing something is screwed up with a ray tracing algorithm in the graphics driver software.

the other card is an NVIDA GeForce GTX1050 Ti

I hope this helps

I suspect that the card is automatically switching on anti-alias. Have a look in the card settings and make sure that anti-alias is switched off.

Yes that worked. I disabled anti aliasing in the NVIDIA control panel. You can change the graphics card settings on a program by program basis. I set up a profile for AC3D with anti-aliasing turned off and everything started working again. Thanks.
