Unable to load plugin: dimension.plugin

PostWed Jul 21, 2021 2:26 pm

so, i'm having a bit of a problem with Resolve Studio ... i'm getting this error when starting the application:

Image

it just started happening a few days ago, out of the blue ... i haven't updated anything, installed anything new, anything like that ... i was just working on a project, closed Resolve for the night, and the next day when i fired it up - i started getting that error

and i've already tried reinstalling Resolve, installing older versions, deleting all config files, cleaning windows registry, uninstalling all OFX plugins ... no luck

oh, and the file naturally is in the plugins directory, like it always was, so it's definitely not missing

does anyone have an idea what might be going on?

thanks in advance!

Win 10?
Which Resolve version?
Can you completely un installl the plugin?
Power down restart
Start Resolve, check its not there and not showing
Stop Resolve and install the plugin again?

yes, i'm running win10 ... Resolve Studio 17.2.2 (but also tried installing 17.1, 17.0, and 16 - same thing happening in all of them)

and i can't uninstall/reinstall the plugin - it's one that comes with Resolve ... it's responsible for stuff like Camera and Planar tracking in the Fusion tab (probably more stuff than that, but that's the 2 i noticed are missing now)

Ah, ok.

Can you power down the PC, then restart, run resolve.. when you see this message again, go to help menu and generate resolve diagnostic logs and post a link here to them? thanks.

yes, of course - here you go: https://we.tl/t-3B5yDLyB7s

and i see the logs don't even mention the plugin for some reason ... but i'm still getting that error message ... and the plugin is there in the folder:

I assume you tried reinstalling the plugin?

This plugin seems to be part of Resolve's connection to the Windows operating system. You will probably need to send full diagnostic info and logs to Blackmagic.

just wanted to add that whatever is responsible for the same functions (camera tracking, planar tracking etc.) as the dimension.plugin in Resolve, works perfectly fine in standalone Fusion
