I luckily just finished rendering a scene out to jpg before TS 6.6 now does not start up at all. I get an error on startup, and it might be because I have some global shaders going or something - but I am hoping it will fix if I reset everything while it is starting up - I guess maybe holding down a key while it is starting will load in the default scene or something?

Probably need to reboot as some memory hasn't been released for some reason.

Hold control key while starting tS.
Choose ''Use default configuration."

Startup Menu

The startup menu (accessible by holding the <CTRL> key while starting trueSpace) allows you to start trueSpace in any real time mode, as well as start a “clean” trueSpace session without automati-cally loading any stored configurations and projects.

Yeah, I renamed the GLOBAL shaders folder and it worked. It REALLY REALLY doesn't like the CP Bloom shader at all, even though it does a fantastic job. Ok, so I am at a point where I am going to have to use Shader Lab instead, but I haven't the faintest clue where to begin with it. I have it loaded and the correct tss in the material folder. but when I run through the materials, I see quite a few cool shaders, but nothing with a glow or called GLOW. Any help on this? Thanks

Hi david. One other shader that was guaranteed to freeze my system was the green glass shader, with bumps and such. I forget the actual name but it always killed my system. What's worse though is, I seemed to forget, often, about this problem. Only after I applied the shader and started a render did I remember. Doh! I caught on eventually though...

Did you find a solution?

Odd.
Are you using multiple processors? (http://freecp.sourceforge.net/originfo/coolpowers4/info.html)

I am running AMD X2 3800+ dual core, so I guess the answer is yes.

If it's a 'multiple processor screwing up shaders' issue, turn off 'enable multithreading' from the render toolbar, this usually fixes it. The render will be slower but at least it'll work.

Thanks for that. I am just trying to find another post glow shader in the meantime. I like the look of shader lab, but I think you have to pay for the glow shader.
