I've been using Nvidia Driver 526.86 GR for the last few weeks with no issues, these Errors/crashes for me were usually in Old plans from X11/12 brought forward.

 

I actually just installed 527.37 today, but I have not used Chief yet. There are supposed to be performance increases in some programs in versions above 522.xx, ( the 525.xx series was not good though for me), so I will keep an eye on this thread and report back if I go back to 526.86.

I ran 527.37 GR Driver all today without any Issues but that was in "pure X14" Templates on a new project. So I'm not sure if Older Plans may be related to the issues for some, which was my own past experience.

 

Have not tried 527.56 yet myself , but 526.86 was also good for me.

522.25 was a bad driver for many ( all 522.xx actually) , did you try 526.86 ? or 526.96    ( both okay here on new plans anyway)

 

I think before the 526.xx series I was using 516.94 from August.

You should contact tech support, there may be a setting that fixes it or if we can reproduce the issue then we have a better chance of fixing it.

Can you try and rollback to the 526.98 Nvidia Studio Driver and see if that fixes the error?

 

Funny, I got down-voted for suggesting that above.....

This is new... The software then crashes. 

 

You still haven't said if this is an old plan brought forward from X11 or X12 for instance?  that is when I used to have random Crashes.

Just hit me again on 527.37........  chief was lagging in the Library , I noticed PBR View was being used in the Preview and turned it off, and several minutes later it CTD ( crashed to desktop )  and disappeared with no save possible, and so I've lost about 10mins work since the last Auto- Backup. 

 

And as previously it is in a Plan started in an earlier Version  ( Canvas uses X12 ) , not sure if it related , but seems a common theme for me.

It started about 2 weeks ago the same message attached and same as Kbird1.  This morning I took the time to uninstall the NVIDIA driver 527.56 as well as the GeForce experience stuff they force you to install as pare of the express graphics driver installation.  I did the uninstall through control panel and literally removed everything NVIDIA.  I then found the correct driver at https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us  for my laptop using the choices dated 11/16/2022 which is the 526.98 Nvidia Studio Driver, which again Kbird1 suggested earlier. Upvote for that!  I installed it with a clean install which is the check box when you choose manual install instead of express.  Again, it will not let you uncheck the GeForce experience program, so I installed with that...  All NVIDIA programs were reinstalled, except now with the driver from 11/16/2022 for studio (not gaming).  See attached screen of my preferences.

 

THIS WORKED!  Yes, ghosts in the machine would like you to believe they are still not there until you have to get something out the door and they they come back, but 2.5 hours of work this morning and not a single problem with it crashing.  Also, two weeks ago, I set my auto save to every 3 minutes..  What I am working on does not require nearly the memory that most of you require, so this precaution works for me...

 

I do hope this helps anyone having this issue (or maybe others if they started about 2 weeks ago), but I would roll back to this driver if you have not already done so and see if it does not stabilize the graphics driver.  Again, this is in relation to the specific message attached, which is the same as Kbird1s'.

Hi Kevin , thanks for the write-up I am sure it will help others , I also have a thread here I update with known good Drivers for Chief if you or others need to check on what maybe a better Driver is you are having Issues here:

 

https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-drivers-updated/

 

Are you aware of DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)?  it is free and made by Wagnardsoft ( I advise only downloading from their Site) and it not only uninstalls both Nvidia and AMD GPU Drivers completely, but also Intel's now, along with Audio Drivers as well. It's been around for many years, and is the defacto Uninstaller for weird display Driver issues, so you can get a "Fresh Start".

 

DDU Ver. 18.0.5.9 was just released earlier this week ..............

I have the same Issue and I just disable GPU Ray Tracing as the recommendation on known-incompatibilities from Chief Architect on Intel Arc Graphics (no problem so far).

 

This Issue seems to be happened before:

 

Known Incompatibilities with Chief Architect Software - Windows 11 with NVIDIA 30 Series Graphics.

 

I do use other software for rendering and no related issue with nvidia driver or Ray Tracing.

If you don't need the GPU raytracing that is an Option, but should not be necessary looking at your system specs,

This issue has been happening with certain Nvidia Drivers since X13 though.

 

so far , since back on Nvidia Driver 526.86 it has been fine

      X15 Catalog Update "error" -- Catalog Could Not Be Found on the Server
      By donnabagdy
      Has anyone experienced these report errors after trying to update the catalog set  in the library?  I've deleted the CAD Block Bonus Catalog, reran the update and it's clean.  I downloaded the catalog anew / FRESH from the website and installed it successfully.  BAM.... same error returns when I press the "Update Library Catalogs" button.  See screenshot below.  Thanks for any help you can provide,   Mark
       
      PS -- I'll add commentary that we are a bit frustrated with the new library format -- it changes (probably due to user farble) and it's not very intuitive how to return to the format we were used to when searching libraries, getting confused when there is a filter set (that makes catalogs disappear).   Yes, we can work with it, but seriously lacks some intuition it used to contain. 
       
      PSS -- Also a bit confusing with Catalog Updates:  If the Time Tracker timeout pops up during a catalog install or library catalog update -- the program appears to FREEZE during operation with no way to take action.  This happened when installing the HUGE Kohler catalog and Task Manager said CA was NOT RESPONDING.  I was about to force it to end, when it suddenly finished.  It should never freeze preventing any action, like accepting the Time Tracker.   And either way -- a Catalog Update always leaves the last catalog showing as 100% completed when the attached error message shows up, leading one to believe THE ERROR MESSAGE APPLIES TO THE LAST CATALOG until you carefully read the message (in my case:  message for CAD BLOCKS and Last Catalog: ZLINE.   Not related.)
       
      Thanks for listening to the PS/S  ...

      X13 Internal Rendering Error & Crash
      By Kadoyle8
      I've been getting the following error message with increasing frequency:
      "An internal rendering error has occurred and the program will terminate. Device removed."
       
      It's generally happening in any kind of Camera mode, but occasionally occurs at random when opening an item, looking at an elevation, etc. Chief Architect support hasn't yet figured out a way to help - we've made sure to check for and disable any programs or processes that are known to conflict. I've also made sure that the graphics card is going to the right one for Chief. Onedrive is removed from the computer as well, and I've toggled through camera settings to see if there is any improvement made with shadows, bloom, etc. 
       
      I have two laptops (thinking perhaps it was a hardware issue on my first new one), and both, especially the newer one, meet or exceed all of the system requirements suggested. The newer one with a stronger graphics card has been behaving much better, but the error is still occurring at random. 
       
      Has anyone else experienced this and hopefully found a solution?

      Has anyone gotten a SCH error and does it mean a new video card is in my immediate future?

      Chief Architect Premier X9.exe - Bad Image
      By wesdutka
      Everytime I start Chief Architect X9 and now X10 recently download I get this message.
       
      Chief Architect Premier X9.exe - Bad Image
       
      C:\Program Files\Chief Architect\Chief Architect Premier X9 (64 bit)\icuin51.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.  Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.  Error status 0xc0000020.
       
      I have tried reinstalling using the fix program icon and this seems to work but only temporarily.  As soon as I reboot my computer this same error comes up again forcing me to once again start the reinstall.  
       
      Has this happened to anyone or does someone have some insight into why this is happening.  I'm not a computer programmer to be able to do some advanced adjusting to my system...if it is indeed my system but hope to get some feedback. 
       
      Thanks in advance.

      Unable to write to the directory - HELP
      By NARDesignGrp
      I just reinstalled my Chief x9 to my larger D drive because my C drive was in danger of filling up.  I can open a drawing and do anything but when I try to close it, I get this error message:  "Attempting to write the Master List File.  Unable to write to the directory "C:\Users\alia\Documents\Chief Architect Premier X9 Data\".  The file cannot be saved."    I am confused because I installed everything on my D drive so why is it wanting to go to the C drive?  And how do I fix it?  Thanks!
