[@forever4c12]

I wanna give you a big thanks for this video. Crashed a lot before and didn't had high hope on this but your suggestion did work. Things much improved.

[@alexanderprestrelski2563]

Sam, thank you so much for this. I eventually hit a point where I was tired of putting up with such basic performance failure with the viewport (viewport frame doesn't update without cursor moving!!). As soon as I went to tinkering with the NVIDIA Control Panel and restarting C4D, it felt like I put on a new pair of glasses and can work so much better now. NO IDEA why C4D hasn't caught issues with modern GPUs and G-sync in Windows 10.

[@MrKlayVFX]

Thank you so much, thought I was going nuts with how bad C4D was performing. No idea how they havn't caught this yet.

[@5_v]

Thank you so much sir! It's very helpful! Since I changed 1080 on 3080ti I had a lot of crashes in c4d especially with the new versions of drivers. It's pretty strange that with old drivers (summer of 2021) 3080ti worked much more stable. But now I have a stable work with the last studio driver.

@@DIGITALMEAT an update, I was still getting crashes so I contacted Maxon, they sent me a vid to do a complete GPU wipe with DDU. It looks like doing that in addition to doing this has been the key. So far everything has been much smoother. Thanks again!

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@LostSleepTV - Correct. Sometimes overwriting drivers over and over can leave stuff behind. I use DDU myself every so often.

[@rendcycle]

Thanks for this! I will try this out. I also experience hanging and reboot problems using iClone 7 and Blender since I upgraded to RTX 3070 Ti. This is an issue with the Nvidia driver and/or the GPU hardware itself because in Windows Event Viewer, the reported errors is always related to the "nvlddmkm" Nvidia driver. I haven't seen any complaints with AMD GPUs so far.

Great to hear! It looks like I'm going cross platform! 😅

[@powercou]

@@DIGITALMEAT Yes it works in the same way. I tried a more crowded scene with higher samples and unfortunately it crashed again. I am however on an old card (rtx 970) which could have something to do with it. Maya and Arnold (especially GPU rendering) is an unstable mess on it's own though.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@powercou - If your scene is very busy, and you're using an old card with limited VRAM, you might be running out of GPU memory. Does Arnold have an option for "Out of core" rendering for GPU rendering? if so, turn it on.

Thanks for this man, gonna see if this fixes my issues. I've been on a perpetual license of R20 for years and December gone I upgraded to S25 but I've been happily using R23 for all the new features. Thing is, C4D has been crashing relentlessly. Even doing basic modeling tasks. No black screens but just a total lock up and then it's gone. Not sure if this fix will work but fingers crossed!

Will try this out later today thank you for this! Ever since I installed my 3090 I've had constant crashes in C4D/Octane but also just windows explorer system crash where I had to hard shut down holding the power button. Cringe every time lol

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Let me know how you get on, If you are getting crashes in windows explorer are you sure this is a GPU issue?

[@joacim.w]

Thank you! Maxon (even though it might be nvidias "fault") should pay you! I had these gpu-crashes for over a year and had seriously started to looking at other render software because of this. I followed your steps and so far no crashes at all.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Pay me? They won't even give me a small discount on a perpetual C4D upgrade 😅😅 Thanks though, I'm glad I could help you out! What renderer are you using out of interest?

[@joacim.w]

@@DIGITALMEAT That's a shame. :) I'm using Redshift and Octane and changed from 2080 Ti to 3080 a few months ago but this happened on 2080 as well.

[@joacim.w]

@@DIGITALMEAT After working for a full day with your fix, it's so much better than before! BUT I still do get this issue where C4D's viewport becomes unresponsive, if I try to resize it it just stretches a pixelated image of the viewport. When this happened before the whole application became unresponsive and any unsaved work was lost, but now only the viewport is frozen so I can still save my work and restart the app to get back to normal. Before when this happened a pop-up would appear saying something about CUDA error and that redshift has crashed but not anymore. Do you have any clue what could cause this? Update: I went ahead and updated my Intel GPU to the latest drivers and so far so good.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@joacim.w - Wait, you have an Intel GPU? I'm pretty sure they don't have CUDA cores and therefore aren't CUDA devices

[@nenime13]

thx a lot it solved my unusable redshift license ! :)

[@robdiaz]

Thanks for this! Just curious, do you know what’s actually happening in the registry with this change?

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Yes, a TDR value (Timeout detection and recovery), is a windows function to prevent any rendering or GPU computation from locking up the system, the Windows operating system kills the GPU driver whenever a rendering takes more than a few seconds. The problem with this is that there are some applications that may need a longer amount of time, applications are not authorized to modify this setting directly, this procedure has to be done manually.

Thx. fix )

[@mattrittman]

Thanks so much for the info Sam! Do you happen to know if this solves the issue with not being able to use Adobe products while rendering with Redshift? People suggest installing the infamous 497.29 driver, but I don't believe that drivers supports 3x series cards. I've still got a 2080Ti, but wasn't sure if that was a completely different issue altogether...

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Unfortunately I don't as I don't use Redshift, I'm an Octane kinda guy 😉

[@mattrittman]

@@DIGITALMEAT oh shoot that’s right! Haha no worries man.

[@philgee5220]

Cheers Sam interesting info here. Does this only apply to the 3090 or any of the other newer cards from Nvidia? Also is there a reason as to why you select 32bit rather than 64?

[@DIGITALMEAT]

It'll apply to any Nvidia card if you're having issues with C4D and OpenGl. Don't worry about 32bit vs 64bit, this has nothing to do with your OS type, it's purely about data type.

[@Life_Is_A...]

So in my case. Applying this solution would freeze my system, instead of the usual crash when the screen goes black, and windows recovers. This time windows doesn't recover, I have to do a hard power off and restart. What actually fixed the problem, was two things: 1. Disable anti aliasing in C4D Open GL preferences. 2. Update graphics drivers. I'm not entirely sure which of the two was the culprit. But C4D seems to function without crashing now.

[@Tennet3D]

Thanks for this! I have a Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card. I randomly get weird issues in C4D R21 myself. My camera viewport in C4D is getting stretched (sideways), but the GUI still looks fully normal with all icons and everything.. No other software have these issues, it only happens in C4D. Restarting Cinema solves this, but it is very annoying. I have done these changes know, just about to restart.. hope this solution helps for me also. Thanks!

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Fingers crossed!

[@Tennet3D]

@@DIGITALMEAT Unfortunately it didn't help with my C4D problems. My viewports in R21 gets stretched sideways, while the GUI stays normal (all menu items, texts etc. look normal, only the viewports that gets this stretch..). And no other softwares fail at the same time, I can go in to Photoshop (or whatever) and everything works like normal there, while C4D has this stretch "active".. so this is only connected to Cinema 4D. This happens randomly, but a few times a week. A restart of C4D solves the problem temporarely, but it would be nice to find out and solve what what is causing this. I believe it is something related to my graphics card (NVIDIA QUadro RTX4000). My GPU drivers are updated, but problem still exists.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@Tennet3D - This sounds like an issue for either Maxon Support, or Nvidia Support I'm afraid.

[@bodobanali]

I have a build in 2070 q-Max and a 2080Ti via an eGPU in my Razer Blade 15 (2019). Since a few days it keeps hanging on a 2070 bucket (i think) after around 20-40 frames of rendering. (Redshift) Seems like Cinema stops beeing executed on the 2070 cause it's also no longer listed in the NVIDIA-Activity-Monitor. When i try to stop the rendering cinama freezed. When i than try to stop cinam (via Task Manager) my whole system freezes. I reinstalled everything (Windows, Cinema), updated BIOS and every driver. And still that issue appears. I am very curious if your tut may help. I'll test it out now and will write asap. Just want to share the info.

[@bodobanali]

Hm … unfortunately it freezes again after 19 frames (evry frame ca 20 seconds of rendering). This time whole system freezes directly without even going through the task manager.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@bodobanali - As your GPU disappears from the NVIDIA Activity Monitor, this sounds like it's not a Cinema 4D issue, there maybe something wrong with your machine. Or, it could be that your not supplying enough power to your GPUs, have you checked the power requirement?

[@bodobanali]

​@@DIGITALMEAT You were right … Seems like the GPU was indead so overheated that it got destroyed. Had to replace it. Rendering overnight on a summer day with a Razer Laptop and it's inbuild 2070 Q-Max was obviously a bad idea. Now i changed to a desktop workstation …

[@BEEFDOCTOR]

@@bodobanali - Thank god! It baffles me why artists insist on doing rendering work on laptops, you're just asking for trouble.

[@3deoskill]

since i bought Cinema R23 , i have crahes , freezing over freezing, espacially when working with scene nodes editor....I give it now a try ....maybe it will work for me thanks. So I tried it but it seems not the right solution for my problem, espacially for R25 the crashes here are enormous when using scene nodes....since R23 only crashes and freezing

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Yeah, that sounds more like a Cinema 4D Issue 😥, I've heard the last few versions aren't very stable.

[@bodobanali]

Hi. I already wrote something here. But it's not really related. (Btw … if you remember it: I could not solve the issue with the GPU … had to replace it … seems like a common issue with the Razer Blade that GPU overheating can happen and damage the GPU. ). Anyway. I now have a 4090 + a 2080ti. The 2080ti i connected via an eGPU. And as soon as the eGPU is connected, Cinema always wants to use the 2080ti as navigation GPU, instead of my in build 4090. I did the selection in the NVIDIA Control Panel (4:02) for Cinema 4D and even in the Global Settings. But Cinema still uses 2080 instead of 4090. Only way to solve it would be to unplug the 2080. Doeas you (or someone) knows what could cause that?

[@bodobanali]

O.k. for those who are curious: I found the problem. It seems that Win11 overrides some settings wich are made in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Windows has its own graphics settings, wich GPU should be used (seems to connect to some power management eco-settings). If you know it, its simple. Go to System > Display > Graphics > Standard (or choose user defined options for apps to change it individually) PS: I have a non English Win-version … so maybe you'll find a bitt different names for that menu.

[@muhammadzien5817]

[@TieDyeNeveille]

Hello, I have an Asus zenbook pro duo laptop, which has a second monitor on the lower part of the laptop above the keyboard. The GPU is a 2060 + intel core i9. When i first open the program, it wants to open onto my smaller lower screen. When it does this, all of the functions work properly, yet who wants to work on a 3D software on the smaller screen LOL. But, when i drag the program up to my main screen everything seems to function properly until i try to click any of the options on the top toolbar such as "file". This automatically crashes the program. I do not know if this is a GPU/ dual monitor issue and I am unsure of how to fix it :(

[@TieDyeNeveille]

Again, it seems I am able to model and work when i bring it to my main larger screen, but if I wanted to save my file for example I would have to drag the screen back down to my lower screen in order to access the "file" tab.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@TieDyeNeveille - I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help here as this seems to be a very special edge case, the only thing I can suggest is that you have that latest studio drivers installed for that GPU, failing that, contact Maxon.

My rtx 2080 ti fried itself five minutes after making these changes, I was using c4d redshift. Might be conincidental might not but thought it was worth mentioning.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

That wouldn't be to Timeout Detection and Recovery, and is most probably related to hardware, either not thermal throttling properly, or a power supply issue. what exactly do you mean by "Fried"? Did it overheat and die, is it now bricked?

What renderer are you using? This matters because depending on the renderer, you could be using the CPU or the GPU. In any case, here's my opinion. It absolutely baffles me why people continue to do serious 3D work on Laptops and note books, particularly rendering. You have all these components packed into a small space, with not much airflow when compared to a desktop. I very much suspect that the reason renders take ages, is because as the components heat up, they are being "thermal throttled" by the system to prevent over heating. In the case of a shut downs, the thermal throttling wasn't enough maybe?

Can you check your comment and check your spelling please, that doesn't make sense.

[@Alejandro-uw2hn]

Yea I took one out and it doesn’t crash anymore

[@Alejandro-uw2hn]

@@DIGITALMEAT sorry about that, I thought I corrected that part.

@@Alejandro-uw2hn - took one what out? can you stop being cryptic and write in full sentences please?

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Ok, let me just confirm what you are saying, you have three screens, each screen has something open on it. You have separate videos playing on two of those screens, and Cinema 4D on the third. How is this a problem? you haven't told me what your issue is / what is happening.

I don't know who to ask, help. I'm a beginner in the world of 3d, so pure ignorance. I started rendering to see the results, out of curiosity I went to check how much cpu and gpu the laptop was using, and I noticed that the gpu is used less than 10% and the cpu at the maximum if not more. Could you explain to me how to solve it?

[@DIGITALMEAT]

That would indicate to me that you are using a CPU renderer, not a GPU based one. What renderer are you using?

[@FilippoQuartarulli]

@@DIGITALMEAT thanks for the reply but i managed to fix it, rendering with redshift

[@hasantube2602]

Do you have a solve for the no enough memory error?

[@DIGITALMEAT]

Ok, you're going to have to be a lot more specific than that. What GPU do you have? What are you using / doing when you get that error?

You don't have enough VRAM / GPU Memory to render your scene.

[@RajeshKumar-yh5ff]

@@DIGITALMEAT 6gb graphic is not sufficient? surprising. anyway , what to do, should I purchase new gpu.

[@BEEFDOCTOR]

@@RajeshKumar-yh5ff - It's scene dependant, so if you have a lot of unique geometry, and or materials in your scene, it may not be enough. You can test this by creating a simple scene (a floor and a box with materials applied) and try to render. If it renders you know that you are running out of memory in your other scene, if it still doesn't render there is another problem, do the test first then get back to me.

Ok, I'm gonna need more information. Did you try the fixes in this video? Have you got the latest Nvidia studio drivers installed?

[@selahattincin3291]

@@DIGITALMEAT Thanks bro for your feedback,. Yes i did your method. And update as well Nvidia...well Cinema 4D is not crashing with me. Let me try to explain it... My problem and what I don't understand is; In my opinion, the computer I am currently using is a good performing computer for animation of very basic objects. But what I don't understand is why it freezes so much after i´m using "Soft Body" just for a single object? And my object is less then 1200 polygons.

[@DIGITALMEAT]

@@selahattincin3291 - Ok, what you are describing has nothing to do with the GPU, so nothing to do with this video or the fixes described in it. All physics simulations are carried out on the CPU, and as far as I'm aware they are not multithreaded calculations (meaning that only a single core is used). 1200 polygons is a lot for Softbody simulations for various reasons I won't get into, instead do the simulation on a low poly object and put that object in a subdivision surface, or check this video out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWjCnqGiept-qKs
