Posted · Cura failed to initialize graphics backed for OpenGL

Hello,

I just got my first 3d printer (Elegoo Neptune 4 max) and was happy to start slicing with the cura slicer but can't seem to get it to work.

When I download it to C:// and try to open it it gives me a pop up with "failed to initialize graphics backed for OpemGI", see attached pic.

My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6800 and got the newest updates. It supposedly supports OpenGI till version 4.7 something. 

I also told the app to use said graphics card when opening (system-display-graphics-custom app).

I don't understand why it's not working. 

Can someone please help me ?

    If you could post the cura.log file from %APPDATA%\cura\5.6\ and if there's a stderr.log file in either that directory or just in %APPDATA%\cura\ that would really help. What you've said really isn't much to go by.

    Do you mean you installed it in C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.6.0\ (or any other location, I guess) or are you trying to run it some way without having installed it?

     

    BTW: It's OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) not OpenGI, I'm going to change the title of the topic to make that more clear for anyone else who might want to come in and help.

    Thanks, those are the files I was looking for.

     

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can provide any answers based on them. I might have to call in @Dustin on this one.

    I only have two ideas here:

    • Try removing it from the apps specifically set to use a particular graphics card would be my main suggestion. Even if it runs on integrated graphics, on your CPU that's going to be more than good enough.
    • Try doing a clean reinstall but let it install itself in Program Files like it's set to by default. TBH I can't think of a good reason why that might make a difference, but there's a lot of things Cura does which don't seem to make sense.

    If those don't work I suggest you go and submit a bug report about it. Make sure to include the log files.

     

    Technical information follows (you don't necessarily have to read this):

    I can definitely see there's something wrong based on when it attempts to load OpenGL

    With your card, if your drivers are up to date, it should be able to get an OpenGL 4.1 context, and definitely be able to get a 2.0 profile. But it keeps loading after that, including initialising the layer view (which is what uses OpenGL), but then it fails to create the welcome window to set up a new printer and quits:

    Hello. I was having the same issue when launching Cura on my main PC (AMD 6900 XT GPU). What eventually worked was deleting the Cura folders from the APPDATA directory, restarting, then reinstalling Cura. I wasn't concerned about losing any content, so proceed at your own risk. You might want to back any data up just in case.

     

    Also, I had a cura folder in both the Local and Roaming folders in the APPDATA directory. Nothing in LocalLow though.

     

    Hope this helps.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
