We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing crashes with Blender 2.79! Unfortunately, this is a known issue with the software and there is not currently a fix available. We recommend that you downgrade to Blender 2.78c until a new version of Blender is released that addresses this issue. Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Q: How do I stop Blender from crashing on startup?

A: There are a few things that could be causing Blender to crash on startup. One possibility is that your graphics drivers are outdated. To update your graphics drivers, you can go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Another possibility is that your Blender installation is corrupt. To fix this, you can try re-installing Blender.

If neither of these solutions work, then it is likely that there is a problem with your computer's hardware. In this case, you may need to take your computer to a qualified technician to have it repaired.

Q: Why does Blender 2.9 keep crashing?

A: There could be many different reasons why Blender 2.9 keeps crashing. One possibility is that your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements to run Blender 2.9. Another possibility is that there is a bug in Blender 2.9 that is causing it to crash. If you are experiencing crashes, it is recommended that you report the issue to the Blender developers so that they can investigate and fix the problem.

Q: Why Blender is not opening?

A: There could be a few reasons why Blender is not opening. One possibility is that your computer's graphics card is not compatible with Blender. Another possibility is that you do not have the correct version of Blender installed. Finally, it is also possible that Blender is not installed correctly.

Q: How do I view logs in Blender?

A: There are a few ways to view logs in Blender:

  1. Go to the "Info" panel in the Blender Interface. This will display any messages that have been logged.

  2. If you want to view more detailed information, you can enable the "Debug" option in the Info panel. This will display additional information that can be helpful for debugging purposes.

  3. You can also view logs from the command line. To do this, you will need to use the -d option when starting Blender. For example:

blender -d log.txt

This will cause Blender to output all logged messages to the log.txt file.
