For the last couple of 2.8 versions, I have been unable to start Blender 2.8

amd radeon pro wx7100 latest drivers
running today's version: 9a1796797e and with all erased settings in the appdata/remote/blender foundation/blender/ folder. I get the following information when running blender from cmd

@fclem: does that ring a bell?

Just to report that same issue occurs with today's version.

Hi, I am getting the same error with version 1844ccd521 downloaded from today

can you run using the --debug-gpu option?

sure, this is what i get:

Thanks. Can you try with only --debug this time? you may paste the output as attachement instead of pasting a wall of text.

Sorry about the wall of text, attached is the --debug output

blender 2.8 debug.txt

Sorry about the wall of text, attached is the --debug output [blender 2.8 debug.txt](https://archive.blender.org/developer/F5681292/blender_2.8_debug.txt)

When you say couple of version, do you have any idea what the last working build hash or download date was?

Dimitar P. commented

2018-11-22 15:10:34 +01:00

Unfortunately I don't. Is there a way to download old nightly builds?

Clément Foucault commented

Is there a way to download old nightly builds?

No. The only way would be to compile yourself or ask someone to compile it for you.

It is really strange as it fails at linking basic shaders. I would suspect a driver bug but I cannot find it by just looking at the shader code. Maybe the pre-processor directives are ignored for linking.

Thanks for your comments. I reinstalled the latest AMD GPU driver, and now Blender opens fine, so it must have indeed been a driver bug.

Changed status from 'Open' to: 'Resolved'
