Answered: DDO Crashes on startup

Visum

nDo works ok I guess but with dDo whenever I try to create new project all crashes.
I input my .obj, color map, normal and that's as far as I can work with it.

Anybody got any idea?
Win 10, latest Photoshop.

Here's the log:

Can you import your *.OBJ to in 3DO by itself to see if it's not an empty file? The error messages are implying that the *.OBJ is faulty somehow.

*The object worked fine in nDo and 3do till all crashed about 25 mins ago and I couldn't open anything.
I removed Suite 2, downloaded it again and now it doesn't even appear at all. and I get a message to 1) close photoshop, 2) Run as Admin close and 3} Run Quixel again... which doesn't fix anything. ugh. so frustrating

Synaesthesia

Try these steps:

Uninstall SUITE
Run the SUITE installer
Install to a new directory (e.g. */Quixel SUITE 2.2/ )
Run SUITE again
Run DDO

Let me know if everything functions normally afterward.

Thank you. I managed to make it work BUT dDo still crashes.
I Removed history, changed FBX to 14/15 tried obj and dDo crashes every time.
Object opens no problem in nDo and 3Do.

Synaesthesia

So FBX works for you then?

Both FBX and obj work in 3Do and nDo do but not in dDo. It always crashes on creating new project with the same message.

Synaesthesia

Could you show a video of this error from beginning to crash?

Visum

You want me to record a video of how I open a file (??) even though you got the error message??

And BTW when I don't attach my mesh on new project creation it STILL crashes without it.

...

Synaesthesia

The error message is only part of the problem. Seeing what's actually happening will help to illustrate what's going on. If you could show the process from opening Photoshop and SUITE to the crash itself, I'll see what I can do to assist.

I found out today that when opening a working nDo file dDo doesn't crash though it doesn't let me reupload files. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be. Dunno.
Here's a short vid showing nDo works just fine but then that's what I get.

Try loading a *.PNG instead of a *.PSD for your color ID and any other input map. Let me know if that helps clear it up.

Visum

Interestingly for ID Color only TGA works. PNG, TIFF & PSD crash.
