CC Particle World Keeps Crashing

[Karl-jason Mawdsley]

I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and have had problems with Adobe Products across the board. I would wait until 10.6.1 comes out if I were you…

[Greg Hahn]

There’s a fix? Where did you get it?

Thanx, I will wait to upgrade to Snow Leopard

CycoreFX HD 1.6.5 is the fix I am speaking of. You can get it at https://www.cycorefx.com/

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly Saty,

So yes i have the 2009 Mac Pro which seems to be the reason for all the problems thats occuring.

Thankyou

D.

So, I still don’t know what the fix is? Do you have to purchase the Cycore FX HD?

[Roger Rohatgi]

Hi Peter. Yes, that should do the trick – but you could email Cycore and ask them to just make sure. They are very nice people. I have been using it since it released and have had no problems.

Ugh… I had this same problem. CC Particle World is the only effect that would cause a crash. I downloaded this update and now the Green X of death comes up for every single cc effect I use. I’d rather have one effect not working than all of them now with an X. Tried to solve one problem by causing a ton more. Any solutions?

I got a fix from Nils Schneider from Cycore Systems today. I have an 8-core Nehalem 2.26 machine running AE CS3. He said there was a fix for CS4, but not one for CS3 at this time.

There may be other ways to download the CHUD tool set from Apple, but here’s how I did it: I created a login at the ADC (Apple Developer Connection). You can find it at https://connect.apple.com. Select “Downloads”, then “Developer Tools” from the bar on the right. Use the “Apple-F” key to search for CHUD, and download the CHUD 4.6.2 image.

Once you have the image, go ahead and run the “CHUD.mpkg”. Once the package is installed, navigate to the system drive (Macintosh HD on my machine), /Developer/Extras/PreferencePanes folder. You’ll see a file called Processor.prefPane there. Double click on that. It will load a “Processor” icon under “Hardware” in your System Preferences. When you click on that icon, you’ll see options to enable/disable CPUs and a button to allow you to turn Hyper-Threading off. Remove the check mark and you’re all set. Start up AE and everything should work fine.

Thanks. The CHUD thing worked. I was having the same problem with Particle World crashing. I’m glad I found this thread.-M

[Brent Goodale]

Wow the Chud thing really does work great!

I have these elemets with instructions so down the road if the chud is not available message me and i will hook ya up.

Thanks!
