Editor crash at start up (2018.2.14f1 (64-bit))

Hello,

I downloaded the latest version of Unity. Sadly the editor crashes upon start up, what appears to be due to a problem reading the display driver version. Below is the editor's stack trace.

Device drivers (GTX 1070) are updated, I've cleaned up the user data directories and registry as per the suggestions in similar threads. Also tried reinstalling, however the editor still crashes.

Hoping someone has any suggestions...

Cheers,

Submit a bug report and attach your editor log.

 

I had the same issue and lodged a bug report. The unity team came back with an existing ticket which is going to be fixed in a later release.

This thread is the same issue with a workaround,:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-shuts-down-when-open-projects.567352/

Also, if you have Citrix desktop experience installed, remove it. That was the root cause on my PC.

 

Awesome thanks !

That may very well be the case as I have Citrix installed. However, I cannot remove it as it's not my laptop :-\ I guess I'll await the later release.

Edit: The "-force-glcore" workaround works for me.
