5.6 version won't run, graphics error

Post by tarmiricmi »

Hello,
latest version of SH3D, 5.6 is not working on Thinkpad X201

Previous versions, 5.0 - 5.5 worked fine.

Can't update GPU driver as it is an old laptop. Are there any workarounds?

Are you sure it worked with version 5.5 included?
Under what system did you try?
Maybe you could try the new installation parameters described here.

I'm using Windows 10 64bit v. 1607. As I can recall, v. 5.0 and 5.5 worked fine. I manually updated today program to 5.6 and it displays that error.
I have another machine (i7 3rd gen. with dedicated Nvidia gpu) and 5.6 works fine there (same OS).

I've tried adding /j3d.version=1.5.2 but with same results.

This sound as a problem with the latest Java version. Could you try to save the SweetHome3D.jar file found in the lib subfolder of Sweet Home 3D installation folder, install Sweet Home 3D 5.5.2 again and replace its SweetHome3D.jar file by the one coming from version 5.6? I wonder how it would work...

I've tried that, 5.5.2 not functioning again. Should I try an older version? But I loose new improvements then...
