DaVinci Resolve 18.5 crashes every time I click Fusion tab

Any help much appreciated. DaVinci Resolve 18.5 crashes every time I click Fusion tab.

Any help much appreciated. DaVinci Resolve 18.5 crashes every time I click Fusion tab. This is happening in a new project with one item on the timeline and also all my other saved projects. Attached is the Log if anyone could be kind enough to look at it. I'm relatively new to editing so this is beyond me. If i've attached the wrong file please let me know. Thanks for your time in reading this.

It is really helpful, with questions like this, if you list some details about your hardware. It can often give forum folk a quick solution or pointers.

Me:
W10
Ryzen 9 3950X
128 RAM
RTX 2080 Ti

I have been using DR since the start of the year and I realise that my hardware is not up to this. I have managed so far by editing in 1080p and timeline proxy set to half. But this problem is different, with an empty timeline apart from one short clip or title, if I click the fusion tab DR crashes before the fusion page opens.
I have an imac i5 with 8gb ram
2.8GHz Quad core
Graphics Intel Iris 6200 1536 mb

I've created about 15 videos on this machine some with fusion graphics but now it crashes every time.

I realise this machine is vastly underpowered but its got me through so far. I am slowly moving over to a Mac M1 with 16gb ram. I

It does seem from reports that 18.5 does something different as compared to 18.1.4 and earlier, whether it be gobbling-up more VRAM or other...

I have been wondering if I should go back to the previous version of DR except I dont know how to do that and also will I loose my current video project and previous projects.

Looking at the logs (gpu_graphics_log.txt) I see :

----
[Info] [GInstance.Create] success, backend=Metal
[Warning] Detected unsupported Mac1 GPU
[Error] [GDeviceMTL.Create] failure: no usable Metal devices found
----

Which is error when Fusion tries to create its own graphic context and yeah, will manifest as a crash when clicking the Fusion tab ...

smunaut. Thanks for taking the time to look at the logs. I know nothing about these logs so what does this mean. What do i need to do to eliminate this error?

I'm not sure there is anything _you_ can do ...

AFAICT resolve is testing for some supported GPU and doesn't consider yours to be one, so Blackmagic would need to look at that if your machine is supposed to be supported.

Hmm think I am in the same boat. Used to work fine on my old Mac but 18.5 - same problem, hit fusion within DR and crashes every time.

@Maxwell
I'm afraid your GPU is insufficient. While DR can use an iGPU for decoding, it relies on a dedicated GPU für everything else. It seems your machine doesn't have one. These links might be helpful:

Thanks for the info. I'll move over to my mac mini M1 and see how it goes.

Hmm think I am in the same boat. Used to work fine on my old Mac but 18.5 - same problem, hit fusion within DR and crashes every time.

It looks like DR latest update requires your (and mine) computer to have more umph. More RAM and More GPU power is needed for 18.5. I have a MacMini M1 so I am moving over to that now.

Try 18.5.1 released today - it reports fixes to some Fusion memory issues.... you never know.

I have the same problem running 18.5.1 on Linux. Regardless of having media loaded into the pool or not... one click on the Fusion tab is instant death to Resolve Studio. I have tried resetting the layout and confirming the GPU is set correctly in System Preferences however the issue persists. This never happened before upgrading to 18.5.1. I have created a diagnostics log. I'm happy to upload this if BMD support is interested to help.

For the moment I have reverted back to 18.1.1 and Fusion is working correctly again. Willing to participate in further troubleshooting.

@FreedomX : As part of getting resolve running with Intel card on linux, I fixed a bug that had the same symptoms : clicking Fusion would crash instantly. And I was even wondering how AMD card were working without that fix (because they use mesa OpenGL like Intel cards)

In your ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/resolve_graphics_log.txt check if it says anything about ARB_texture_border_clamp ?

The fix has been merged in mainline mesa but will only be part of the upcoming 23.3 version late 2023.
Personally I made my own packages for my distribution (gentoo) that include the fix on top of 23.2 so you might need to do the same if you want the fix earlier.

Hi Sylvain. Yes, I'm getting the error you mention in ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/resolve_graphics_log.txt.

Do I understand correctly that you fixed this by compiling the latest mainline MesaGL and use this to update your system? This does interest me but I'm unclear on which Mesa component to upgrade. The Radeon 6600 drivers from AMD add a large number of MesaGL packages which might also contain the faulty issue. At this point I'm not sure which Mesa packages are pre-existing and which are added by AMD. Might you recognize from this list which package(s) should be upgraded?

Well I traced the issue and wrote the patch and then submitted it upstream to be included, so that it is now included in the git master and will eventually trickle down to all packages although that could take a while ...

The issue is really dumb, Resolve requests an "OpenGL 3 Core" context and then checks if that extension ARB_texture_border_clamp is available. But the thing is that in a "Core" context, that extension is not optional, it's mandatory and so MESA wasn't including it in the list of "extensions" (since it's mandatory and would always be present in such a context).

You could try to set the env variable MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp but I'm not sure that would work ... it's not supported for all extensions.

As for the packages, I'm not even sure what distribution you use but the package version (20.x) are quite old ... like 2020 ...
The `amdgpu` ones are the ones installed by drivers from AMD AFAIK, but I didn't know you even needed those, I thought the RX6600 would work with the default mesa and ROCm stack.

In any case, those might appear as different "packages" but they all from the same source mesa tree and must all be updated (see their "version" is all the same since they all come from the same source tree and must stay in sync).

Also the mesa version with the fix isn't going to be packaged for a while, but maybe you can just build it from source and start resolve pointing at it without the need for a global system update.
Not sure how that would play with amdgpu though. What opencl stack is used in your system for the RX6600 ?

OK, that makes sense. And thank you for contributing back to mainline with improvements. I'll give the mesa extension override a try and post results back here. IIRC the radeon drivers included with Xorg and kernel sources were not able to recognize this particular AMD video card though I did try that first. It's the reason I installed the vendor drivers.

I'll give the mesa extension override a try and post results back here.

It was worth a try...

[Error] failed to load required extension "GL_ARB_texture_border_clamp"

A shame Resolve 18.5.1 on Linux now insists on checking for an implicit extension. If I had to guess, Nvidia graphics stacks somehow behave differently otherwise I don't see how this update would have made it out of QA?

Ok, I just wrote https://github.com/smunaut/resolve-mesa-fix which with LD_PRELOAD can forcibly inject that extension in the list, so you can give that a shot.

Yes, the NVIDIA stack has its own GL implementation completely independent from Mesa and it does advertise that extension even in Core profile

Brilliant! Thank you so much for this solution Sylvain. As pictured it's working nicely now. Anyone running Resolve on Linux without an Nvidia branded GPU stands to benefit from your help here. A big thumbs up!

Good to hear that it works !

I though the mesa fix was only needed for my work to get resolve working on Intel cards, but since AMD cards are affected too, I've submitted the fix to be backported to stable branches so that hopfully it makes it into distributions quicker and that workaround isn't needed.

I wonder if the same easy fix is available for macs with old GPU.
I have 2013 Macbook Pro I sometimes do some simple tasks on. It was working fine till 18.1.3, and the Nvidia 750M GPU was working great even with Resolve projects, not to mention Fusion Standalone. Now Fusion Studio does not even start with the same error:

[Warning] Detected unsupported Mac1 GPU
[Error] [GDeviceMTL.Create] failure: no usable Metal devices found

The 18.5.1 system requirements state that the GPU should support Metal or OpenCL 1.2. And GeForce GT 750M supports both. So there's clearly something wrong with the current Fusion build. Hopefully this issue will be addressed by devs shortly.

Well the error "Detected unsupported Mac1 GPU" is clearly different so it's definitely triggered by some other checks. It might be possibly to bypass it using a similar technique but you'd need some macOS dev to look into that ...

But yeah, from the clinfo it sure looks like it meets the requirements listed by BMD.

The issue is fixed with version 18.6 [now Fusion is launching on MacOS].
Thanks, BMD!

[UPD]

Despite Fusion 18.6 is now starting, nothing could be loaded to the viewport. Any image or even a background is shown as transparent.
Set GPU to Disable does not help, so probably this is not related to the videocard.



Specs:
Macbookpro 15 Late 2013
GPU Nvidia 750M 2Gb + Intel Iris Pro 1536 Mb
OSX 13 Ventura

[UPD 18.6.6]
Still the same issue.
Interestingly, all 3D tools do work. They even load the textures from any 2D elements. But none of 2D textures load to the viewer or output to file.


Yeah, unfortunately it seems you cannot use the old mac with the patched kernel in order to use the latest Fusion version. That's a shame, because all other apps work as intended.

Specs:
[list=]
[*]Macbookpro 15 Late 2013 (OSX 13 Sonoma 14.2.1 OpenCore installation)
[*]GPU Nvidia 750M 2Gb + Intel Iris Pro 1536 Mb[/list]

Why did you decide to install Sonoma on such old hardware?

First, I updated because I can and because it works great otherwise. I use that laptop for development purposes mostly, and I was curious if I can still use Fusion on it. Fusion now requires Monterey as a minimum os, so I hoped when all requirements are fullfilled it will work as any other software does. It does not, unfortunately. So clearly there's something else needeed, that is not mentioned in the macos requirements.

Maybe Sonoma is using more RAM, and yours is short anyway. I'd have tried Monterey.

Thanks, I tried all of them sequentially, Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma. Even all 3D tools work fine, and both GPUs show up in the settings. Only 2D viewer is not working. And it clearly uses minimum of vRAM.

Nevermind, lets see which happens sooner, BMD fixes this compatibility issue or me buying a new mac!

Fusion needs a lot of RAM, not just VRAM. With M* it'll be just RAM anyway, but don't expect miracles.
While DR works very well on Apple's M*, for Fusion a desktop PC with tons of RAM (and a good GPU) is still better.

Thanks, you are right, I should have checked the RAM usage too. But it seems there's still plenty of it. And it does not show even a black Background in 2D, despite it does not have any issues showing a shaded high poly 3D mesh. Clearly something is missing here. I will file a report, lets see if they'll answer.

Fusion 19b1 also does not work on old Mac models (pre 2015) with upgraded OS (Sonoma 14.4.1 or earlier)

Also version 19 now requires minimum 4Gb of VRAM.

I guess it is now official that the latest possible Fusion version for those macs is 18.1.3.

So yeah, it is time to upgrade the mac.
