Cycles won't run on gpu

[Fluffpumpkin]

If I try to run cycles on the cpu it runs just fine but is slow (like cpu usually is). When I try to run it on the gpu I get an error. It works just fine in regular blender, the problem is only with the goo engine. Is this my fault or is it a bug?

Refer to the Cycles GPU rendering documentation for possible solutions:

Since we don't use Cycles (and goo-engine has no features which affect or support Cycles) the we don't pre-compile the GPU kernels for it.
The simplest option is to just use a regular blender build, since there shouldn't be any benefit to using cycles in goo-engine either way.

Alternatively if you really need to use goo-engine you can let it compile the GPU kernels for you, if you install Visual Studio 2019/2022 and CUDA 11 (and also OptiX SDK7.3+ if you want OptiX support) then switching to GPU compute will compile the kernel the first time you switch to render view. You'll see something like "Loading render kernels (may take a few minutes the first time)" in the top left of the viewport.
