FFX Convert tool

[b0ssk]

Does anyone else have any issues with the FFX conversion tool with Windows 10, any edition. I just get crashes, attached an image. Works fine with our Windows 7 machines, but any of our Win 10, crash. At home on my Windows 10, latest updates and version, same crashes. I have a really old version of the tool from 2016 sometime that does work, but it has a lot less options. I've tired running in compatibility modes, UAC is off on the machine, I've tried running the shell as Administrator, as normal. No dice.

Do I need a specific .Net redist installed for this to work? Any idea?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the bug report.
We have uploaded ffxconvert 0.3.5 for Windows to the members area.
It also adds support for FumeFX 5.0 caches.

Please let me know if it works for you.

Best regards,

Fantastic I’ll check it out when I get into the studio. Thanks!

This one still crashes as well in Windows 10, same vague report. If there is some way for me to get your further info let me know.

Thanks

Could you please try to install VisualStudio 2012 redistributables:

It was already installed, so I did a repair. Still crashes. I'll try on my home machine as well and see if it is also still crashing to rule out something environmental. They are very different systems, apart from both being Win10

The older version I have is 0.2.3 and works fine on Win 10 without crashing but I take it that won't help me much once the FumeFX 5.0 plugin is out for Maya, I still haven't had an opportunity to test the latest at home, I will try and get that done this weekend.

Hello,

Could you please post few caches that you're trying to convert and command line parameters so that we can try to repro the crash here ?

Thank you.

Hmm never saw that there was a response to this, but good news is the latest version finally works great with Win 10, so all is good finally.

Thanks
