Hello! Wanted to take this project for a spin on my Geforce 3090, it looks really impressive! But alas.. after what seems to be messages of success, I am presented with a frozen application with one CPU core pegged at 100%.

This is coming from the downloadable distribution [here])https://github.com/diharaw/Helios#usage).

Any ideas what one could do?

[diharaw]

Hi! that's quite strange, are you running the latest NVIDIA drivers? Because at the moment the application doesn't perform a graceful exit if the required KHR raytracing extensions aren't available. It could be that.

[alanjfs]

I'm using drivers from the 9th of December, but I see there's one from the 15th. Could that be it? I'll give it another try next time around. Thanks for the quick reply.

[diharaw]

Yes, you need the drivers from the 15th of December (460.89). It was the first release with the final set of KHR extensions required.

[alanjfs]

Yes, that works. This is really impressive. :) Thanks
