blkmkt Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I refreshed my system twice to double check before posting, but Spriter eventually started to crash instantly on Windows 8 every time. It opens and shows the program, then crashes every time... UElabeal, MaribelSher, Asuqytrau and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at BrashMonkey Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 @ blkmkt, Could you send your spriter project to Edgar? lucid@brashmonkey.com This way, he can test if there's something about your actual project file that is causing crashes. cheers, Mike at BrashMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkmkt Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just wanted to give an update in case this information is useful. After further investigation, I just solved the problem, and it turned out to be a specific driver issue on my system. It would not have been possible to send a spriter project, as spriter crashed upon opening. Intel HD Graphics 4000 drivers from 9.17.103062 onwards cause crashes in programs that use OpenGL apparently, and rolling back to the previously installed driver reversed this issue. This issue effects folks that are using Surface Pros that have updated the display drivers beyond the factory installed ones. There seem to be no other issues beyond this one.

Thank you so much for this information! I tested Spriter Pro on my laptop and it worked perfectly but when I tried it on my Surface Pro it would crash upon starting. Reverting the display driver allows the application to run properly now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domenic Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I was having the same problem, and the new drivers fixed it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindropz Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I do have the same issue here. Very recently I have upgraded to windows 8 and I have noticed that Sprited is getting crashed after the upgrade. When I try to open this, it prompts with an error box and closes the application. Any idea. Do I have to call Omni Tech Support scam for help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiori Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I also have the same problem on an old lappy under win8, on the same pc under linux i get no problem what so ever. so clearly its an issue related with the way spriter does things on windows vs. the available driver/environment.Edit: i got it fixed, first time i ever go spriter running under windows.I searched a bit, and in my case the only driver that got it to work was this one:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18223〈=engWindows 8 claimed to have a more up-to-date driver installed, screw that, BS all the way. After installing the above driver its working great... so far anyhow. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiori Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 After disabling OGL spriter works even on the latest win8 'updated' drivers and performance is better than with the other one.So clearly its an issue with intel's OGL implementation vs. what spriter need/calls.Ran some other tests and actually with this driver OGL gets broken across the system, not only with spriter.So the final advice is, use intel's official latest driver, and never trust windows-update it will try to 'update' the 'older' driver and it will ruin everything.
