Hello! Below are my computer specs. Recently I used 2024 on my ROG X-13 and had no issues running the software on Windows 11. Today I tried opening the software from the downloaded folder, from the application, and from the file I'm trying to open. And every attempt crashes while it is loading Cinaware. I have never had this issue and my laptop is powerful enough to run the software. I'm trying to update my driver in hopes of this helping, I would love to not need to reinstall 2024 if I can avoid it.

Hi all, I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue, so I've had to resort to posting it myself in search of a fix. For some reason my textures show up white on 3D objects and symbols as if they are generic white solids, even when a texture has been applied previously. The files often open with the textures there but once I begin editing they soon disappear, or the file opens with all objects displaying as white objects with no textures. What is weird with this and different to a lot of other issues I've seen others having is that the objects seem to lose all surface UV's altogether, not displaying in the render window as having any texture at all, and I am unable to apply any texture back onto the object. This also means that when importing to twinmotion or publishing other viewports that the textures appear white as if no texture has been applied. I am using Vectorworks 2022 and I have ensured that the software is up to date, that my graphics card settings are correct, and I have even tried reinstalling vectorworks altogether and still getting this issue. I work in a small team who also use Vectorworks that have not experienced this problem, in fact if I send the files that I have been using to their machines they all work fine, even though I have a brand new PC! I've also opened up past projects which didn't have this bug originally and now the same issue occurs, so by now i definitely think this is a software issue or bug rather than an issue with my machine. Any advice on this subject would be highly appreciated. I did have a quick fix by turning the 'Use textures' on and off from within shaded options.. but now this option often appears greyed out and I am unable to get around this without restarting vectorworks multiple times until it decides to work. Please help!! EDIT: This issue seemingly occurs after loading a file back up, I spent all day in a project yesterday without any issues until I opened the file back up again today to find my textures missing.

Hi All, Having a bit of trouble with Vectorworks 2018 in our office. We're intermittently getting a problem whereby vwx 2018 gets stuck on first opening at 'Checking Activation'. It seems to take a very long time generally, but sometimes will get stuck and the program will fail to open entirely. This has occurred on several systems, most notably one of the office brand new IMac's, so I'm convinced hardware isn't the problem. It could of course be related to some sort of network configuration issue our end, but this is not a problem anybody has had in the office running 2017. Any ideas?
