Blank White Screen in Ultimaker Cura 3.1

[Nicada 0]

I just installed Cura 3.1 and when I try to open a file a different window pops up and stays blank. When I close it the whole program closes. Can anybody help me?

The blank window is the dialog that is trying to tell you that Cura has crashed, but it has a bug in itself so it stays blank.

 

What OS do you use?

Could you try Cura 3.0, or the Cura 3.2 beta that was released yesterday?

Are you using mulitple monitors? This is know issue for multimonitor setups (including monitors attached to a laptop). see https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues/2326

A usable workaround:
Use Mesa-drivers for opengl instead of system drivers:

• Download the latest version (x86 or x64 matching your cura build) from http://download.qt.io/development_releases/prebuilt/llvmpipe/windows/?C=M;O=D
• Extract the *.7z (for example with 7zip)
• Rename the opengl32sw.dll to opengl32.dll
• Copy the opengl32.dll to your cura-folder
• Run cura: No more blank windows ;D

DisplayLink drivers in combination with intel drivers seem to often cause issues with white/blank windows ;D

Thanks Geeky! I had the white screen on updating to 4.4, and your workaround worked like a charm :)

I just wanted to put it out there that I had the same problem with 4.6.1 (oddly only on one computer). This fix worked like a charm.
