You’ve got to be kidding me. that’s not much of a fix. That’s like saying I can drive the new car I bought if, and only if, I completely wipe out my old life haha.
I just bought simply3d and I cant login to the program. I installed, and then ran as administrator (or regular) then it brought up a login window. After I put in my credentials, the login window disappeared with no error or warning. my task manager shows that the program is running though, and it’s taking up CPU power.
I can’t believe they still haven’t fixed it. It’s not a cheap software for such a bad development team. Sorry man, I guess you will have to wipe out your life. Don’t forget to save your dearest memories on a scrap book
Haha. I’ve heard good things about the software, so the dev team did a good job. It’s the support team that needs some attention. But they’ve been responsive through email so far, albeit nothing useful yet. I think I’m going to get a dedicated laptop and double it up as a home media station.
I finally got it working. I uninstalled the 64bit version and installed the 32 bit version. I ran as admin, logged in, and again nothing happened, but I left the software running. The configuration assistant popped out of no where and its been running without problem since. I’ve restarted the program several times too.
Yeah but having a 32bit software on a 64bit machine is not ideal. Anyway that approach didn’t work for me. And I still think it’s the dev team because as a software developer I disagree that this problem should be fixed by the user with the support team. This is a problem they know about, it is a bug in their software that the dev team should have already found a solution for smooth installation anywhere. And just one of many others as for instance the Flashforge Dreamer latest bios update not being compatible with their software for months already. But yes, they did a great job developing it, it’s just the updates that are not coming.
All, I have also experienced this error and was in fact without my S3D for a couple of weeks because of it. After many (often frustrating) conversions with the S3D support team, they finally pointed me in the right direction by giving me the definition of error code 1018a.
from S3D support: “Error Code 1018a refers to an incompatibility with Windows core services installed on your computer”
I uninstalled a recent windows update by reverting my windows to a backup point automatically generated by the Windows update service (in case the update has adverse effects). Now my S3D works
My advice is to not join the Windows Insider Program and to be careful with your system updates. Please do not reformat your PC, or settle for using the 32-bit version. BTW, This is the BEST slicer and worth every penny. It would be nice if it was properly supported.
