Crash on one machine when opening a blank patch

Hey hey,

We’re having a problem with recent vvvv previews on one of our machines.

Context

  • Opening vvvv throws an “EGL Display” error and then silently crashes after a few seconds
  • Even if opening a blank patch without any arguments, it crashes (from Launcher or from explorer directly)
  • We tried all previews from 6.7-145 to 6.7-163. The crash start happening at 6.7-157 and happens on all following previews
  • Rebooting did not help

We were able to gather the following errors from Windows’ Event Log

Screenshot

Thanks in advance!

Hey sebes,

I am not absolutely sure, but it sounds like an issue we are aware of and about to tackle.
Please try a stupid hotfix until we fix the issue:
copy those two files from an old vvvv gamma installation:
grafik
and put them in your current vvvv installation folder.

Does it help?

Seems to help here.

fixes the issue here, screenshots above are on my machine. Still strange others dont have the issue. Heres my hardware:
CPU : Amd Ryzen 9 7950XD
560.81 Nvidia Studio Driver, rtx4090

Thanks for the reports. Should be fixed in latest preview builds.
