JacKiril: Eternal Flame Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Okay, so recently, I've been having some problems with LEGO Digital Designer 4.2.5. It was working fine when I updated it on Wednesday (Jan. 25 2012). But since yesterday (Jan. 28 2012) I've been seeing this when I load it up:As you can see, all my recent models are broken. When I load up a creation, I see this:Whenever I try to place one of these broken bricks into the creation, they import successfully, but are invisible.Stuff I've tried:-Reinstalling (Three times now)-Restarting my computer-Running in Compatibility ModeNone of the above have worked. Please help!(If relevant, my OS is Windows Vista) Edited January 29, 2012 by JacKiril: Eternal Flame Brony, HERO Factory fan, BIONICLE fan, artist, writer... I'm an extraordinary guy.

Meiko Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Looks like some of the components got removed or are corrupt.

P~M Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Try completely uninstalling the program, then reinstalling it.Does it happen with everything, or just your recent models? And does it happen just when you click on it from that welcome screen, or does it happen from the File>Open box as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything.And what do you mean by 'completely uninstalling it'? I've tried reinstalling it countless times and no dice.(Don't mean to sound rude by the way, thanks for the feedback) Edited January 29, 2012 by JacKiril: Eternal Flame Brony, HERO Factory fan, BIONICLE fan, artist, writer...

Meiko Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Have you tried Safe Mode, because if that doesn't work, go ahead and reinstall LDD and file a report with LEGO Customer Service.This is what I'm getting:OS: Windows 8 Developer Preview 32 bit Evaluation Copy. Build 8102.

Meiko Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That's strange. And you've uninstalled it and reinstalled it? Hmm. I'd say file a report with LEGO Customer service then. : -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

Failed.*sigh*Nothing I've done's worked. What could I have done? I don't recall doing anything that could've broken it.The last thing I did before it broke was import it into my Steam games library, but I don't see why that'd break it.It crashed on Startup, but it's done that plenty of times before then and it was fine then.

Emzee Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Glad you got it working.For future reference JacKiril, simply edit your first post when you have an update, and just use the report button to request a topic closure. You always want to avoid double-posting in this forum.Thread closed. "hey girl: here’s an idea, but… it’s up to you: You’re the boss of this operation."
