Hello All,

New here and just geting started in ParaView and OpenFoam. I am currently going through the OF userguide and got stuck at the cavityFine tutorial.

I am using Win 8.1pro, ParaView 5.4.1 64bit, blueCFD Core 2017.  
Hardware: Amd Ryzen 7 1700x, 16GB RAM, AMD R9 380 GPU.

Everytime I load the .psvm state file, ParaView crashes instantly or hangs and then crashes.

It never hangs enough for me to access and read the error. I can only load the most basic ones with no filters applied.

What I have tried:

- Make copy of the cavity files to desktop and try those
- Change directory setting of all blueCFD core to remove read only
- Deleted settings files in AppData
- Installed ParaView 5.7.0
- Python state files
- Run as admin
- loading the state files with various settings

I figured I should get this fixed now before getting into more complex tasks as it would be too time consuming to redo the ParaView session everytime.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks,

---

you will have to share your datasets and statfiles.

I uploaded a zip with all the files, test1.pvsm is a basic one and test2.pvsm had more filters.

Can you try using a more recent version of ParaView ? Did you already tried with ParaView 5.7.0 ?  
[https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/)

In order to read the error message, maybe you can run ParaView from the command ?

I had tried 5.7.0 but had the same problem originally.

I did some reading on BEX64 and looks like a graphics driver problem. I updated my Radeon drivers and now both 5.4.1 and 5.7.0 load the states fine.

I did a clean graphics driver install straight from Radeon settings.

**Working driver details** :  
Radeon Software Version - 17.7.1  
OpenGL® Version 6.14.10.13476
