D5 Files crash after updating recently

Hello. I am in the same boat. The app was fine a week ago. I was prompted by D5 to “Please update the app”, after which all existing and new projects crash. I have since deleted shader cache, updated drivers, reinstalled D5 render and lastly rolled back driver update to my last driver in March. I cannot do anything. I leave this to the D5 team to address and revert back with an update.

Hi @ltvanzyl98

I apologize for the inconvenience. May I know which update you are referring to?

  • Is it a D5 Launcher update?
  • D5 Render update? Which specific version? Please send us a screenshot
  • What’s the behavior of the crash, does it completely load out but crashes upon navigation?

Additionally, please send me the following screenshots.

Hi, after the reinstall and reverting to the old nvidia drivers does it still crash ?

Yes. I reverted back to the previous version I had installed from March, I was working on a project last week. I tested it again this morning, still not working. I cannot do anything else.



I opened the launcher, and was prompted to do an update. I am not sure if this was for the launcher or D5, or both.
Version 3.0.1.0683
I open up the browser, none of my latest projects are in the quick access. I click on the “open” tab, it goes to the file I was last working on. I click open. A window pops up “initializing”, It starts to load, the first 1 to 5% is slow then zips through to 99% where where the window disappears. There is no follow up message, just the launcher. If I hold the window to move it, it seems as if there is a lot of stuttering, more so than normal.

I hope this helps.

Hi @ltvanzyl98

Alright, thanks for the additional info.
