Just installed Flame 2026

[rjino4732]

Very happy to see this update.

Unable to read any drives, internal or externally connected.

Responses to attempted drive access:

1. Confirm Operation: Scanning / has not yet started. Abort?

2. "Directory is read-only - Using browsing pattern '{name)_v{version) {extension}"

See the screen shots.

I'm sure that this an issue with the new SQL server but I am not sure of the steps to solve the issue.

Flame 2025 working fine......Thanks

Flame 2026 on Apple M1 Max

Turns out Abraham (from autodesk tech support) told us to open Backburner Monitor and leave it in the background while importing stuff.

It worked flawlesly.

Happy to hear that's another solution on the table. My solution was to install Postgres on my machine....it runs in the background. No more issues:

I am curious about how you connect Flame to an external (compared to Flame's built-in Postgresql) Postgresql database, and what settings need to be made. I have tried connecting Flame to Postgresql18 on the default 7533 listening port, but it was not successful and prompted to create users through Igniter. I hope Flame's support for Postgresql databases can be more universal, rather than being locked to specific versions bundled internally.

Hello @kexianliang,

It is not possible to connect Flame to an external PostgreSQL database. Many tweaks are made to Flame's database to offer the best experience possible.

Okay, I see. I guess it's the same. The Postgres database within Flame does look highly customized. As long as Flame can upgrade the Postgres database in a timely manner to enhance support, it would be very good.
