Hi I'm not sure if this is related to your actual problem, but I had constant issues with the new Davinci resolve 18 crashing continually. I searched over and over and tried all the solutions(cache, Compatibility, Optimized Media etc etc) and they didn't work. Meanwhile, trying to run a completley unrelated program there was an issue with the resolution on my screen being too high. Nothing to do with Resolve whatsoever, however it caused me to have to change my resolution from the natural 2560x1080 to 1270x720. This didn't solve the problem either.
Long Story short.
I found the issue with both programs to be a SCALING issue within windows. I think increasing the scaling in display settings (mine was at 175%) causes resolve to have to compensate/recompensate in unpredictable ways, causing it to crash. This happened in any of the pages I tried to work in, scrubbing in MEDIA/CUT/EDIT or working in FUSION/FAIRLIGHT.
SETTING MY SCALING to 100% in DISPLAY SETTINGS completley resolved (
) my problems.
as this is the most recent thread about this resolve crashing issue i posted this here incase it helps anyone else. I don't have a particularly powerful setup (integrated graphics)but resolve is now back to working perfectly for me again, and the solution was sooooooooooooooo simple.
