I may not be able to use SFM anymore.
3 days ago
Title says it all. Basically, with the new AMD graphics drivers update, Source Filmmaker immediately crashes upon trying to add ANY light source. Obviously, this is an issue, since SFM is what I use to make, well, EVERYTHING ON MY FUCKING PAGE. I guess I could technically continue making renders, just without lights, but like, absolutely not? Light sources are what carry my renders, they would look absolutely terrible without them.
I'm going to roll back my graphics drivers as a temporary solution, but I really, REALLY hate having outdated software on my PC, so after I finish the two current commissions I've been working on, I'm just gonna fucking... put full focus into Blender, I guess?? If AMD doesn't fix whatever issue is causing this, if that's even possible, I will basically never be able to use SFM again, or just leave an install for an outdated driver on my PC and painstakingly switch to it every time I want to use SFM (no way in hell am I doing this).
I am beyond pissed. I have been dedicating my life to this software for about 3 years now, and I'd say I've gotten pretty damn good at it, and now I can't even use it anymore. What the fuck have I even dedicated all of this time into it for?? I probably should've just started using Blender from the start, I don't know why I didn't.
If there's ONE good thing I have to say here, it's that it's possible to import both models and maps from Source Filmmaker into Blender. If that wasn't possible, I'd probably be crying right now, because I don't think there's any good Blender models of the Monster Hunter dragons I use in my renders out there. In fact, I'll probably be spending these next few days and weeks importing as many models and maps as I can, before it's too late.

That's bullshit. I'm really sorry that's happening :c

Hopefully it's just a bug with the update and it'll be fixed in the next one, if you haven't yet, I'd try a fresh reinstall of the driver just to make sure. Maybe dig around to see if any other applications have this issue on Google or so. Idk your specs or so to really assist in anything more than those recommendations
