I installed archiCAD 14 on my new computer:
Windows 7 x64
core i7
4Gb ram
ATI FirePRO v3800
and I got trouble in the 3D view.
I can move very fast and everything works fine but if I change something like a texture directly in the 3D window and then try to moving again archicad just freeze. After some few seconds the application closes and I got a bug report.
this appears on different projects. I got the latest official drivers and the last update for archiCAD.
Thanks for your help

I removed the drivers and installed a slightly older version (I can't remember the exact version as I am not in front of that machine but it was dated around April or May of this year).
Now it is all working perfectly.
I just looked it up and I think the driver was version 8.723

Here is a screenshot:

At this time ArchiCAD also using high CPU (25% of each core).
I'm using Core i5 2500 CPU, 4GB RAM, 1GB GT440 GPU and Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Also using x64 version of ArchiCAD.
Please help.

I've opened my file on another computer and problem is also present. Maybe this is ArchiCAD 14 problem?

Seems to me that Graphisoft has a very bad product. The end-user isn't the problem here. I'm literally aging more because of this program. Wouldn't spend real hard earned money on it's licence for the world.Imagine, they are at the 15th release... and they still have bugs. Don't wanna imagine how the 6th instance or the 1st one was..
Note: I was working in Arc.14 because the 15th instance is really tugging on my PC and works very slowly

it's the second time it stalls and I lose 4 hours of meticulous work during the night time... (because the autosave feature fails to work). I am getting sick of this.
There should be nothing wrong with autosave if you have it set properly.
What are your settings - saving every 10 steps or every 30 minutes?
Is it actually turned on in your Work Environment?
The autosave will only kick in if Archicad crashes and has not been shut down properly - either by powering off the machine or forcing the program to quit through your operating system.
Give us some more information and we might be able to help.

I assume you aren't using the free student license because you call yourself a "so called Architect".
If you are using the pirate software then you will be stuck on the first release of that version.
14 has had some 6 hotfixes that have solved many problems - maybe yours has be solved.
If you are using legitimate software tell us what hotfix you are using.

15 would be slow if you have only a 32 bit system or a 64 bit with minimal RAM.
No need to complain so crudely straight up - ask questions first and see what help you can get.
I'm not quite sure why I replied but thought I would ive you the benefit of the doubt.
Many here won't I am sure.
Barry.

Hype23: If you really are looking for help this is a pretty lousy way to introduce yourself. Of course if you're using a pirate copy with no intent to purchase you've probably come to the wrong place anyway.

I am using the educational version. I have experimented with both Archicad 14 and 15 versions.
Since the project is for my diploma, it is quite big, the difference in performance from v15 to v14 is clear (I am working with layers, I am hiding the ones that I don't need at a certain given moment to make it easier on the CPU and despite this fact, it's still a tedious work to pan the mouse with a one second lag)
My system is a Phenom XII Quadcore processor. 8 gb RAM DDR3, video adapter ATI RADEON 4500 (512mb/256kb video memory)
OS : Windows 7 ultimate.
The text I wrote was carefully thought. It was not based on an impulse. The words, rude as they are, do not stress enough the resentment that I feel for the loss of my time since I got the crashes.
Barry Kelly,thank you for your effort.

If your words were carefully selected then it is even worse.
One more word like these and you are banned from the forum.
