Error initializing OpenCL Kernels

perlk

Hi, I sent in a help ticket for this already but haven't heard back, so I'm hoping someone on the forum might have an idea. I was running Daz Studio 4.15 (64-bit)  without a problem up until yesterday. When I got back from vacation on the 5th, I booted my computer, it installed a bunch of updates, and when I went into Daz Studio to run a simulation, I got an error saying I needed to reinitialize the kernel and then after it runs, I get the message: Error Initializing OpenCL kernels.

I'm on a Windows 10 machine, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT video card. I reverted to the previous video card driver (last updated in April 2021) but no success. 

Any ideas of what to try? I've reinstalled DS, tried running the public beta instead, but nothing works.

Thanks! I don't have the driver they listed but I'll give it a shot!

Finally! A fix for this. I can confirm that charles-holden_d8fd00bdef has a workable solution for Windows 10. I downloaded the OpenCL™ and OpenGL® Compatibility Pack - Microsoft Store Apps from the microsoft store, installed and restarted. At first I didn't think it worked, but I checked my OpenCL device options, and after I installed this pack, I gained 2 more options. My only option for the last 2 years was AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing gfx1031. Now I have OpenCLOn12 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT and OpenCLOn12 Microsoft Basic Render Driver as new options to choose. I choose the RX 6700 option and I was able to run a Dforce simulation. Charles Holden - thanks man!
