Can't open ReCap Photo after 18.1 update

[aleispani]

Hi!
I can open and use ReCap Pro, and could open and use ReCap Photo 18.0 with no problems.

But after upgrading to 18.1 (I need that version to take advantage of student cloud credits) the program won't open.

I get no error messages, no windows, nothing. I double click the icon, get a brief sand clock icon, and then nothing happens. I check the task manager and the program isn't running.

I tried uninstalling and installing everything again.

Any ideas?

thanks!

I now have installed recap Photo 18.1 on another PC (burning my other student license 😞 ) and the same thing happens.

18.0.0.56 opens and works fine, but as soon as I update to 18.1 I can't open the program any longer, with no error messages or alerts, it just doesn't work.

Both machines are on Windows 7 64bits

Hello @aleispani

We are aware of the issue and working towards the fix. I will update you once that is done. 

Meanwhile can you try updating your Autodesk Desktop App and then restart ReCap Photo.

Or you can delete the web services folder from following location (C:\Users\chandar\AppData\Local\Autodesk) and then try restarting ReCap. (make sure, non of other Autodesk products running on your system)

Thanks,

Hi @critesh, I've tried both your suggestions, but still can't open ReCap Photo.

Also, are your machines behind a proxy or a firewall ?

Hello @critesh,

Have you got some news about this issue ?

I had a remote session some days ago and it's impossible to resolve the problem.

Autodesk is still working on it ?

Hello,

We are looking into the reasons for Photo application not launching on your machine.

We have just released an update for Autodesk Photo application version 18.1.0.18:

http://up.autodesk.com/2018/RCPHOTO/ReCapPhoto_Update_v18.1.0.18_to_v18.2.0.8_x64.msp

Can you please install it and launch the application. Does it give any message regarding graphics or drivers? 

If so, could you please send us the graphics card and driver details of the machine ? Also, check if there are updates available for the same.

Thanks,

Devang

Hi,

I had the same issue. The reason was that my graphic card does not support directx 11. After installing a newer graphics card, the problem was eliminated.

My newer graphics Card is NVIDIA Quadro 600. This is not a current one but I still had it on the shelf

[critesh]

Hello @admin-lokal-sd

NVIDIA Quadro 600 this graphic card supports DirectX 11, so this should work for ReCap Photo.

Have you updated your ReCap Photo 18.2.0.18? (in this release we have added one message for Graphic Card check)

Let me know the details, so that I can help you better.

Thanks,

[admin-lokal-sd]

Yes, I have the update ReCap Photo 18.2.0.18 installed and since the new graphics card is installed, everything works fine. Many Thanks.
