Member sazberryftw Posted May 17, 2016 Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hey, I just tried to update my 3DCoat to 4.5.37 but when it installs I'm running 4.0.04B. I'm guessing this isn't right? I can't open my .3b files either. Thanks Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Gary Dave Posted May 17, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Are you running it through steam? My memory is a little fuzzy but I seem to remember that if I opted in to the beta functionality via steam, it would install a much older version of 3dc. So you need to make sure you're opted out of beta programs if running on steam, this way you should only be getting the latest stable release (which is still 4.5.19 I think, at-least mine still is). I think all beta upgrades are done via manual download via this thread: http://3dcoat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17076 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I tried just installing the new version. The second time, I made sure to uninstall 3DCoat, then install the new version. Neither process installed 4.5.37 (http://3dcoat.com/download/). I'm guessing 4.5.37 is the most recent stable version seeing as it's the one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hi ! Are you using old icons links ? The installation folder had changed with this new version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Gary Dave Posted May 17, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I think Carlosan is saying that 3dc will install somewhere differently for this version, so you might be running an old version accidentally, even though the new one exists somewhere. But since you've said that you uninstalled 3d coat before installing this new version, I'm not sure what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest version I've had was 4.5.19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sazberryftw Posted May 17, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Update: The download installs 3DCoat DX, DX(CUDA), GL and GL(CUDA), but only the CUDA versions are actually 4.5.37. I checked and my Nvidia driver appears to support CUDA so I guess I'll be okay using it? Edited May 17, 2016 by sazberryftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Gary Dave Posted May 17, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ah okay, I've read something similar elsewhere on the forums about the previous "which version do you want to run?" not being an option any more and it would just default to CUDA. Seems like an odd choice, and even stranger if non-CUDA versions are actually old versions. I personally steer clear of CUDA as I've noticed a lot more crashes compared to a regular 64bit DX, but I think this might just be an issue with my hardware, as CUDA is the wisest choice on paper, so you should be fine.

Well I can't seem to use anything other than CUDA anymore! D: I guess I'll give it a go and see if I run into issues. Thank you for the help.
