I have the same problem

Material Maker version: 1.2

OS/device including version: Windows 10 NVIDIA 4090 , driver ver. 528.49

[Sugz]

I found a workaround, I deleted the folder "material_maker" in "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming".

Workaround didn't work for me unfortunately. This affects all versions.

Experiencing same troubles. Material Maker crashes after startup right after the splash screen and loading indicator.

OS: Windows 10 x64 22H2 Software Versions: 1.1, 1.2, 1.2p1 GPU: RX 6700XT, Driver versions 23.2.1 & 23.2.2 CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X

Issue appeared for me after the graphics driver update (version upped to the 23.2.1). Before that version 1.1 had worked just fine.

Strangely enough, other Godot-based apps (tested Arrow and Pixelorama) as well as Godot Engine itself (ver. 3.5.1) are running normally.

Also I've checked the same Material Maker versions on another Windows 10 PC with RTX 3060 and Intel CPU and there were no such launch issues.

The mentioned workaround involving the deletion of the material_maker folder inside the "Roaming" directory didn't solve the problem on my machine.

I didn't manage to extract any Event Viewer logs and the CMD logs are not so useful.

However, running Material Maker with command line options from the Godot Engine documentation somewhat helped to avoid the crash. In my case, I started Material Maker from the CMD with option --video-driver GLES2 and the editor didn't crash.

This affects versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.2p1 (from what I checked).

Worth mentioning that the Godot Engine 3.5.1 works fine for me while using the GLES3 rendering in any project.

I was able to clone the main branch of the project and successfully launch it from the Godot 3.5.1 stable editor using GLES3. But when I tried to export it and supply the resulting .exe and .pck files with all the folders from the official build downloaded from Itch, all the symptoms reappeared culminating in a crash.

Rolling the AMD driver back to the 22.11.2 made the crash go away

OK, this might be related to Godot, since MM uses custom builds and is currently using 3.5.0. MLaybe I should switch to 3.5.1 for next release...

[RodZill4]

There are a few users who have this problem, and it seems the only solution so far is to revert the AMD driver to a previous version. Godot 3.5.2 does not fix the problem, so MM1.3 won't solve it either. The good news is that Godot 4 seems to fix this, so I'd suggest you try MM 1.4 betas as soon as they are available (in June 2023 I hope).

was able to fix. rollback amd driver to before 23.4.3, so 22,11,2 and before then go to the Roaming folder in your drive and delete material-maker folder

Can also be fixed by updating AMD driver to version 23.7.2.
