FreeCAD closes on startup

[tenfrozentoes]

Having the same issue. I have 0.18 Installed and it WAS working but it seems to hang after the splash screen and then just hangs (+10 min...). 0.20.2 what I was trying to update to. I have tried on 2 computers- the other one is running Win7. On both machines 0.20.2 displays the splash screen and then terminates- I have watched it the process manager and it does terminate on both machines. Install files were downloaded separately (I just mean that I am not using the actual same file)

Attached is the log file (I think?)

In your case the OpenGL version is the problem:

Code: Select all

Log: Init: App::FreeCADInit.py done
Log: Init: Creating Gui::Application and QApplication
Log: Local server 'FreeCAD' started
Log: This system does not support framebuffer objects
Log: This system does not support NPOT textures
Log: OpenGL version is: 1.1 (1.1.0)

At the very least OpenGL 2 is required. You should update your graphic driver.

Ok thank you for the reply. I will fix that.

Got it running.

I had to:

1) delete all previous versions of FreeCad before installing 0.20.2
2) check the "delete preferences and settings" option when uninstalling previous versions.

So far, so good.

I'm getting a bunch of errors like this:

For some reason the QtWebEngine module doesn't work correctly. It's hard to say why this happens.

A workaround is to remove the folder StartPage from the Mod directory. If this still doesn't work then also remove the AddonManager directory.

I removed the file and the software finally booted, but unfortunately, I was only able to access the app, but cannot do anything. Here's a screenshot of it.
