Startup failure on Windows 10 LTSB 1607 #4
Comments
Hi, If the error persists after updating your drivers feel free to post another comment in this thread. Please let me know if this fix works so I can mark this Issue as closed. Thanks for using NDIScopes :D |
Since I am a single person (student) developing this software I sadly do not have the resources to test a lot of driver/os/hardware configuarations. I will add the minimum required driver version to the README. I've checked again in the code and the minimum driver version is 511.23 to be exact. This is a limitation imposed by the CUDA library that Is only backwards compatible to a certain point. The error you describe never occuree in my testing, so I cold not yet implement a custom error message stating that your driver version is outdated. |
Hi! So, the old NVIDIA-driver was not the problem. Very strange, because as You said the CUDA requires this. What other information do You need to define a more detailed minimum requirements? |
I didn't quite realise that you are using such an old version of Windows. The NDI SDK is not needed to run NDIScopes. I did the CUDA part a long time ago and the minimum driver version I mentioned might have applied before I compiled the CUDA part for older GPUs aswell. So that might be the reason why It works on older drivers and probably why I didn't mention a driver version in the README. I will try to find out what exactly causes the crash. Then I can maybe find incompatibilities and define better minimun requirements. Is the original system 64Bit or 32Bit? |
All my systems are 64bit on Intel CPU. The desktop has a i7-8700K, the laptop a i7-6820HK. |
Thanks for the detailed information. I will investigate that issue further. |
I tried another system with i3-3110M CPU and only internal Intel HD4000 graphics, no NVIDIA. This system runs Win10 pro 2004. |
I already have implemented a check for the GPU... but apparently that doesn't work. Thanks for letting me know. |
Okay. |
To be honest... in this case I would make a seperate software like "NDIExplorer" that does just that and runs on even more hardware. |
release 0.7.2 beta is running on the Windows 10 LTSB 1607 now. Thanks for the fix. |
Thanks for testing 👍 |
Describe the bug
Running 0.7.1-beta on Win10 just crashes.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Program starts fine
Hardware/Software
Additional context
Please no comments about "old Windows", "update drivers" etc. In general any program has to give proper error messages, if system requirements do not match and what is the problem. I think ll the systemrequirements are fullfilled. So what's the problem?
