View Full Version : "Render active view" causes crash

Hi mates, I've got a problem concerning cinema 4d R10.
As everybody I use the Render active view while working in c4d...but sometimes(actually most times) c4d crashes, when I render pictures that way respectively when I use the rotate/move function in the view port afterwards(when the picture should switch from cpu-rendered into graphic-card-rendered mode).
It freezes and I have to restart the program.

I could fix the problem by changing from openGL rendering to software shading, but I miss the enhanced openGL features...and large scenes are terribly slow.
My graphic card is a Geforce 8600GT (On Forceware 158.22).

Does anyone know if there are general problems with the new nVidia cards and c4d or -at best- how to fix the problem? :)

Revert back to the original drivers from your 8800 disc, I had the same problem here and that was the solution.

Unfortunately it didn't stay stable...

But I could find many more people with the same problem.
They are all using Nvidia 8xxx cards. I was told, that changing to older Forceware drivers (lower than 100) fixed the problem. The guys had 8800 cards and changed to Forceware 97.94 and everything was alright again.

Actually that sounds nice for everybody, who has a 8xxxx card...but it doesn't :(
Much to my regret there is no working driver for EVERY (in my case the 8000GT) 8xxx card. 97.94 only supports the 8800...
Ideas? Anyone? :)
