@Comrade_Hanz

To diagnose the exact issue here, I may need more information.

  1. What’s your system configuration? (hardware)
  2. What’s the exact windows 10 build version are you using.
  3. What exactly changed (system wide), when it broke down? Did you do any windows update, driver updates, policy edits? Did you save a new startup file, where you changed some preferences to the extreme? If yes, what were those settings?
  4. Did any of your other programs start glitching during this time? Did you check thoroughly?
  5. Could it be a hardware issue? Especially GPU? I’ll suggest some programs to test this in any case.
  6. I have the latest available build of world machine. On my end everything is working as expected.

Download “Rammon”, “cpu-z”, “gpu-z”, “NZXT CAM” if you haven’t yet. Very useful apps. Do not use benchmarks until you verify everything is working as expected.

I’m having the same issue. There is no answers on line. I paid a lot of money for an app that
I can use.

That really sucks :frowning:

Could you give us some more information regarding your system?

  1. What hardware is in your system? Are you using a virtual machine?
  2. What OS are you running?
  3. Did World Machine ever work at all?
  4. Have you tried reinstalling it?
  5. Are there other programs that (suddenly) stopped working?
  6. Does the program load?
  7. Does it show an error message? If so, could you upload (a screencap of) that message?
  8. Did older versions work?

Hopefully we can help you with some more knowledge regarding your situation!

Crashing on startup is often related to corrupted file paths. The easiest way to fix this is to got to %APPDATA%\World Machine Standard|Professional\ and delete the file world.ini. This will trigger a fresh installation of WM.

@kevmo77, if you are unable to use World Machine on your system I"m happy to process a refund for you!
