Same here on S3...

We missed the dual extrusion issue. It's something that we should have caught but didn't. Since a lot of people have also reported this on github (thanks for that!), we already have fix for this and have changed the tests that we run per release so that this shouldn't happen anymore. We do print a dual extrusion model every release, but the model that we used didn't exhibit the problem (Which was unfortunately one of the few models that didn't have the issue...). As people might have noticed, we also didn't get any reports about this during the beta (which is unfortunate, but the primary responsibility for it not being found is with us and not with the beta users!)

We've also found a fix for the X:/ drive issue, which should also prevent the slowdown that some people experienced.

As you might have noticed, it's a bit hard to keep track of things on the forum, so please provide bug reports on our issue tracker on github (and again thanks to those that did and helped us find out what was going on).

An update for 4.9 is almost done and should be out soonish.

Great to hear that!

I have multiple Ultimaker printers and was really excited to try out the digital library function when 4.9 was announced. Sadly, with those bugs it was better to switch back to 4.8 which didn't have the "save to library" function.

Looking forward for it!

Hello,

using 4.8.0.

Installing 4.9.0 / 4.9.1 will be done, but when I start after "Loading UI" very short the headline of the software will shown.

So, actually I´m not able to use the latest release on Windows 7 which is on the support list.  Found the file stderr.log, it means that there are a lot of problems with Python.

Try installing https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB3126587 windows 7

[mrpresident 0]

This update is already installed the file told me.

Any other suggestions?

 

As I discribed above.... 4.9.x was loaded until "Loading UI". Then a frame with the headline appears for a second, you can read Cura and so on. Then all of them close and nothing happens anymore. For more details watch out the logfile in the mail before. Python will be pointed as the troublemaker 🙂

 

Here you can see whats happened.... the second pic shows for a short time these part of the windows/frame

You could try https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=26764

 

Another thing to check is gpu drivers. The logs show that the error happens when loading shader programs into the gpu.

Download is no longer accessible 😞

If you meant my graphic card, there is no newer driver as already is installed.

If so, something in 4.9.x has been changed!!

Don´t worry, I´ ´m happy with 4.8.0 🙂

no way to run cura 4.9

hi all .

I hope I'm in the right place.

I've now installed 4.9.1.

now when I send print from fusion 360 to open cura it fails saying priverliges not available .

works fine on 4.8.0.

I've read lots about using custom and picking cura in applications. still no good.

does any one now how to fix this.? or any  advise that might help.

thanks d

Will be following this thread with interest.

 

As much as I love my Ultimaker S5 (and that's a lot), I will not be upgrading from Cura 4.8.0 to any other version, unless I see a unanimous positive reaction to the new version from the community. I've wasted two days trying to "fix" my printer, and it was all due to a buggy Cura 4.9.0. Most importantly, I unsealed a brand-new spool of Ultimaker PVA (I thought the old one was to blame) which is now slowly degrading and absorbing moisture.

 

I know we should all be trying new things, helping out, etc., but I'm afraid I cannot afford any more printer downtime right now, so I will stick to the excellent and stable Cura 4.8.0 for the time being.

I´  m agree with you, guys.

 

@mechanic75

To give priviliges to folder and files add the user who should in the admin group to drive 😄 and submid all files and folders to add fullly rights.

 

@DrCeeVee

I´´ m going back to 4.8.0. Even I could really find some benefits the new release. At least I´´ m sorry to tell mostly using Prusa slicer with works through all releases perfectly.

Hi the graphic for my current printer is really skewed.  The zoom point or vanishing point is high off to the right behind the printer so the printer and hence the build surface/plate is almost always on an angle which means the object you're printing is always viewed at an skewed angle which makes it impossible to position and view properly.  No amount of rotating or shifting levels it up.

[mrpresident 0]

What does your problems refers to not running Cura 4.9.x on Windows 7???

Update your grahpic card driver could help. If not able while to old, bad luck 🙂

[gsar333 0]

Am running on mac. The problem is the zoom point is high and behind the printer instead of where the zoom point should be which is the middle of the print bed.

Well Spoken ......I am doing the same  

[GregValiant 1,248]

@gsar333 What printer is that?  I haven't seen that sort of problem before.

[mrpresident 0]

This is not related to the main topic which was the not loading 4.9.x on Windows 7....

I´m not interested about failures on a MAC!!!

[GregValiant 1,248]

Actually the main topic is stated by @fvrmr in the opening post and is "We are happy to announce that the Ultimaker Cura 4.9 is here.".  (I'm not sure how long the happiness lasted.)  Many of the following posts are in regard to various issues that user's have had with the release.

[mrpresident 0]

@GregValiant: you might be right, but the most intention is to find out why 4.9.x does not run under Windows 7. W7 does not related to MAC, so MAC should have surely a own section....

Not quite. This is the general release thread for Cura 4.9, not specifically for issues with Cura on Windows 7. You are welcome to keep discussing with others the issues you are seeing, but please be mindful that this thread is open to all Cura users, regardless of if they are using Windows, Mac, or Linux.

 

The Cura developers recommend reporting issues on the GitHub for Cura, which allows them to get additional information from you and better help resolve issues:  https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/issues

But: Cura 4.9.x DOES run under Windows 7 -with no issues. Believe me, I use Win7. So your problem might be hardware-related

[GregValiant 1,248]

Win 7 64 bit.

For Win 7 32 bit you have to use the SmartAvionics 32 bit branch/version.

[gr5 2,167]

Greg makes a good point - do you have win7 32 or 64 bit?  You can check by hitting window key, right clicking on computer and show properties (this is from memory so could be off a bit but google is your friend).
