Fume Expresso 2

[Lothar1952]

Hello,

crash happens only when you are running simulation with xpresso nodes and GPU viewport enabled? Does it still crash if simulation is already done (FumeFX loads from cache files) and you move time slider?

Regards,

no - I could not find a specific reason for these crashes. They only occur during simulation but very frequently on different frames. Once cached to the end, everything is fine.
The viewport thing is a different one. Standard setup runs fine with GPU preview enabled. But if I succeeded to cache a setup with expresso setup, my viewport alomost freezes but does not crash. Looks like Cinema is busy a lot though nothing to do but draw viewport. But if I switch this GPU viewport off, I gain normal speed in editor view again. Feels a little bit related to the problem I read that several AMD (Threadripper) users (me too) have that you have to press left mousebutton to get fluid particle simulation in viewport... AMD specific unfortunately
