Bug tracker

  • Empty template:
Hey there,
This report is pretty much useless, we need more information from you. On the [[ https://developer.blender.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ | Report a Bug ]] page we have the following template:

>**System Information**
>Operating system and graphics card
>
>**Blender Version**
>Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
>Worked: (optional)
>
>**Short description of error**
>
>**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
>Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps
Please fill in the requested information, otherwise we can't help you. Closing this report as invalid until requested information has been provided.


  • Sound of silence:
No answer for one week -> closed! Sorry, but we have to be very strict in order to keep our bug tracker organized. We can consider reopening after we've got the requested information.


  • Crash on startup:
Crashes on startup can happen because of many reasons so let's check a few things:
* Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date
* For Windows 7, at least service pack 1 is mandatory, please ensure it is installed on your machine
* Ensure your GPU driver supports at least OpenGL 1.4
* Ensure you have installed MSVC2013 redistributable package (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
* Try to disable any running antivirus
* Ensure you have no python executable available in your %path% environment var
* Try to re-download and re-install Blender
* Try the latest build from [our buildbot](https://builder.blender.org/download).
* Try to start Blender in factory settings (`--factory-startup` commandline option) (this will show whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
* Try to place [this dll](http://download.blender.org/ftp/sergey/softwaregl/win64/opengl32.dll) next to your blender.exe (software OGL, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).
