Solved c4dpy not working on Windows 10

Hello guys!
I have Cinema 4D R20.059 installed and c4dpy.exe updated to latest R20 release.
A some time ago everything was fine but now c4dpy.exe seems to not working with any command. 🤔

With R21 it works:

c4dpy is version-specific. Since in Release R20 it was not part of the bundle you should download it from https://developers.maxon.net/?page_id=1118 with the matching R20 version you have.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Sure! I know it perfectly. But in case wrong version Cinema4D.exe c4dpy outputs error messages, but i have nothing.

What's your specific version of Windows 10?
Can you try to clean the Cinema 4D preference folder.
Did you already licensed the 20 cinema 4D application? If not could you try to launch Cinema 4D first license it then relaunch c4dpy.

If it does nothing can you launch c4dpy with the g_console=true parameter and copy the output data.

Cheers,
Maxime.

Hm, after removing folder c:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\plugins\Redshift
c4dpy works!🤔

Thanks for the info can you try to launch c4dpy with redshift and with c4dpy g_disableConsoleOutput=false and paste the content.

Does the CommandLine works with the redshift plugin?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Maxime.

@m_adam
Sure! Take it in attachement.
c4dpy_output_log.txt

@m_adam

Does the CommandLine works with the redshift plugin?

Did you mean c:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\Commandline.exe?

Hi, could you run g_disableConsoleOutput=false With Redshift installed so this way c4dpy does not launch correctly.

@mikeudin said in c4dpy not working on Windows 10:

Did you mean c:\Program Files\MAXON\Cinema 4D R20\Commandline.exe?

Yes

@m_adam Ok, done. With Redshift installed:
c4dpy_output_log.txt

CommandLine.exe log:
commandline_output_log.txt

Which version of Redshift are you using?

@m_adam v2.6.41

@m_adam After installing v2.6.48 c4dpy works fine.
