Crash to desktop when slicing certain models.

How to reproduce

Simply attempt to slice the model

Actual results

Slicing certain models such as this grim reaper figure cause the program to crash to desktop with no error message. This happens in PrusaSlicer 2.6.1 as well. Likely affects the whole slic3r family.

I ran OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer in Ubuntu in a VirtualBox VM and that version was able to slice the models, if slowly.

Today, I tried turning on Windows 8 compatibility mode for OrcaSlicer in Windows 11. To my surprise, it didn't crash this time. It took a very long time to slice the models, but it worked. So I have a workaround.

Feedback on Reddit indicated others have this problem with certain models in the Windows version of the software. Hopefully this Windows 8 compatibility clue will help diagnose the cause.

Expected results

Successful slicing

Could you try this build https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/actions/runs/6897958644
and upload the new crash log? We've improved the crash log a little bit and would like to see how effective it is. Thanks.

I tried that build. It does still crash, but it does not generate a crash log file at all. Here's the debug log file it generates, though.

Any news on these crashes? 1.9.1 on Windows is still crashing on a lot of models. Sometimes regardless of settings, sometimes only when trying to generate tree supports. Always the same CTD behavior.

Same Problem, but my Slicer simply closing, without Crash-Log.

What i can find out, only for Klipper based Printers, the Slicer Crash,
if i Slice the Same file for my Tronxy X5Sa based on Marlin, all works fine.

if i switch back to my K1-Max Profile, the Slicer instantly crash on large Files.

But the Same happen on PrusaSlicer

[jcford73]

In case it helps debug this issue, I've found if I set process priority to realtime and the processor affinity to only use the first half-dozen or so cores, it will slice. It will just take a really long time. This is probably similar to what is happening when I was turning on Windows 8 compatibility mode.

edit: tried again with just the processor affinity since I was fairly certain the process priority wasn't doing anything. I was correct. It worked with just the affinity setting. So maybe the software is having some sort of problem with these later Intel CPUs? This is a Core I9 13900k.

Is there any crash log available?

Here's the most recent using OrcaSlicer 2.0 beta. And here's the system specs again just for reference.

Orca bot: this issue is stale because it has been open for 90 days with no activity.

[jcford73]

This issue should not close. It's definitely still happening. I have to set processor affinity to limit the number of cores in use by the software or it will crash when slicing any but the simplest of models.

I also have an i9 13900K and am having issues, windows 8 compatibility seems to be helping. Note, I am having this issue on all slic3r-based slicers (slic3r, superslicer, and orcaslicer...I haven't gotten around to trying prusaslicer)

I am also using an i9 13000KF and having issues slicing certain models with orca crashing. I tested orca after bambustudio.
