can´t set a background image in standalone version

[Blecker]

hi...

in order to set sundirection and such i like to set a background image
when i do so the image is being trashed. i did it before in earlier versions and it didn´t seem to be a big deal

now i tried different formats (eg: jpeg, png or psd)
also i safed the image with diffenent profils.
all of this didn´t have an influence on this
the image is distroyed

pls see the attached sreenshots
i looked up on the net if anyone had a similar problem but couldn´t find anything

does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

every hint is very appreciated
best

Hi,
as you can see, no problems here with the background:

Unfortunately your Octane version and kernel settings are not visible in your screenshot
Maybe an nvidia driver corruption?

beppe! good to hear from you again

attached a screenshot incl. kernel settings

acutually i was thinking of some sort of corruption as well.
i sometimes do have VERY STRANGE pattern on my screen in any application

i called the apple support yesterday. we reset the pram and so far i didn´t have the effect again

i´ll attach a shot of these screenproblems as well

thanks for having a look at this

here is the other problem with screen

Hi,
please, could you check if in the Preferences/Application, the Viewport visualization is set to Software instead of OpenGL?
Here is what I get if I switch from OpenGL to software if the Background is active:

OpenGL

Software

beppe! you are so great! this works.
would have been the last think i would have thought about
really: thank you so much!

should i just leave this setting or will it cause any unwanted sidea affect that i should know?

:O)))

Hi,
normally, the OpenGL setting is used, but, if you need to render big frame buffer resolution greater than 8k (eg. Gear VR Cube map), you need to switch to Software setting in order to visualize the render in viewport
