Receiving this error when running d5 benchmark :
Hi @Pianoman, Have you tried running the benchmark tool with administrative privileges? I also recommend saving the file on the same local drive where D5 is installed.
What version of D5 do you currently have?
I run as admin, same error : “please instal D5 render”
Copied the file in drice C
I run 2.10 version
Hi @Pianoman Kindly download a new benchmark file and try again. Please select the unblock option in the security settings.
To access the benchmark tool, visit the website; System Requirements | D5 Render
Just built a new PC along with a fresh Windows install and the benchmark gives me this error as well. Run as admin didn’t work. Also ran it from within the D5 installation location of my SSD - didn’t work.
Edit: I unzipped the download and was able to run the scene separately through the D5 Launcher like any other project. But no “benchmark” functionality.
Hi @tim1
Which version of D5 did you reinstall? You may try to download the full package in this link: Download Package
The one listed on the downloads page. It’s the latest version.
Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. I suspect initially installing D5 as Admin was the issue, as this time I did not and let it install to AppData.
Alright, thanks for updating us.
