upgraded openscad from the last 2014 64 bit version to 2015 64 and tried 32bit versions

[T3DT]

All 2015 versions of Openscad crash at startup
On my Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack1 Intel i3 M350 laptop 8gb ram

So to re-cap
OpenSCAD-2014.03-x86-64 Works ok
OpenSCAD-2014.03-x86-32 Works ok

OpenSCAD-2015.03-1-x86-64 Crash
OpenSCAD-2015.03-1-x86-32 Crash

OpenSCAD-2015.03-2-x86-64 Crash

I uninstalled OpenSCAD-2014.03-x86-64 Works then installed OpenSCAD-2015.03-2-x86-64

I uninstalled OpenSCAD-2015.03-2-x86-64 then installed OpenSCAD-2015.03-1-x86-64

I uninstalled OpenSCAD-2015.03-2-x86-64 then installed OpenSCAD-20145.03-x86-64

I performed an upgrade process by installing the new versions over the old version.

I repeated the above for the 32bit versions with the same results..

I see enough of the 2015 version to see what looks like a UI redesign or major change in the look

[T3DT]

Any suggestions of a possible workaround or other things to test would be appreciated

As the build at fault is now two years old..

I also tested the latest builds i.e. the 2017 Development Snapshots exactly the same result.

So I asume it is connected with the UI changes made as 32 and 64 bit versions are the same

I would suspect your graphics driver and look to see if there are any updates.

Could you open the Windows Event Viewer and see if there are any messages there related to the crash? That tends to give us a hint about which component caused the crash.

[MichaelAtOz]

While testing different versions you can also download the zip file, then extract to 'program files' 64bit or 'program files(x86)' 32bit.
Run the exe from there.
Easier than doing repeated installs or uninstalls.
Once you get it working, then you could install.

@T3DT It crashes in ig4icd64.dll which is "OpenGL(R) Driver for Intel(R) Graphics Accelerator". A driver shouldn't crash, so I'd definitely start by upgrading the OpenGL drivers. This driver version, 8.15.10.2086, is at least 7 years old so I'm sure Intel has made some progress fixing bugs since then :)

Found this link for ig4icd64.dll I put the new file in the root of Openscad this has stopped the crash

But fails to change the display area of the rendered object all that is seen where the rendering should be is whatever there is behind the openscad window.

https://www.opendll.com/index.php?file-download=ig4icd64.dll&arch=64bit&version=9.17.10.2875&dsc=OpenGL(R)%20Driver%20for%20Intel(R)%20Graphics%20Accelerator#

[kintel]

You probably have to get a proper installation package for this driver, as the DLL alone is unlikely to fix it.

[kintel]

Closing this as a suspected driver issue
