Possible crash fix

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

After saving my own custom user interface and ui settings, Zbrush kept crashing on me whenever I would start up.
It would start fine, then if I so much as even touched any of the buttons or open file dialog, it would immediately crash.

As a test I put a tild mark in front of the CustomUserInterface.cfg file in the main Zbrush3 directory like this ~CustomUserInterface.

After doing that it seemed to startup fine and then I resaved all of my settings. So far, so good.

So if anyone else is having problems like this you might give it a shot.
If it dosen’t work you can always just delete the tild character.

I found your post and had been experiencing the same problem. Did as you suggested now I am up and running again.
By the way, where did you learn how to do that little test and what exactly is the effect of that tilde mark?
Worked like a charm for me:)

Simply renaming the file disables it and the custom UI settings are not loaded.

#4

Yes, it’s just a quick way of preventing the default file from loading as a test.

Come to find out, this is also noted in the known bugs issues, but it has to do with dissabling the welcome screen in the preferences menu.

#5

Some people has found that this heremay be a somewhat permanent fix. You may want to look into that.

Also, some people seems to not have any problem with z3 at all. Curious.
