Areana 5 Stuck Splash Screen

Post by JPG »

Arena 5 gets stuck on the Splash Screen.

Nothing has changed on this PC, other than maybe it was not shutdown properly. Only thing I can think of, but I can not confirm this either.

I did recently update Team Viewer on this PC.

Does Resolume start if you rename the Documents/Resolume Arena 5 folder?

Negative.

Still will not start.

I renamed that folder, and then watched the folder get created when I tried to start up Areana.

Same thing though, then gets stuck on Splash Screen.

We've seen something similar with old Teamviewer versions, and virtual display apps a few years back.
Can you try uninstalling Teamviewer?
Also make sure Resolume is assigned to run on the Nvidia, and your primary windows display is also running from the nvidia GPU.

It is very odd, because I have been using Teamviewer on the PC for a while now, and it has been flawless.

Right now, because of the situation, I am only allowed to work remotely. I need to use Teamviewer, because of network reasons.

I will Assign Resolume to run ont he Nvidia and also the Primary Display.

Update you ASAP.

I was able to get the software to load.

The issue was, my secondary monitor (LED Wall) was not online.

I know this is beyond basic, but in the past, if the secondary display was not online, the software would load but just have this secondary display as a virtual output.

Great to hear you found the culprit!

Resolume switches to virtual indeed when a display is not available. Resolume 5 hasn't been changed for a while, and you said, renaming the Documents folder where the settings are stored didn't help, so this sounds like a driver messing things up. Maybe it's stuck reading display data, and would recover after some time.
