Substance Painter

I really like Substance Painter but it doesn't like my computer. It won't work on my Windows 8.1...well, it works fine but it only spits out black pngs. Not useful at all. It works at a snail's pace on my Windows 7 but I can get good pngs from it. Just have to live with all the crashing and testiness. I need a new computer with a powerful NVidia card.

I came across a similar issue at the beginning when I first installed and ran Substance Painter and found a solution on their websites forum or trouble shooting can't recall which but checking how larger your Virtual memory is set to will make a difference in how well Substance Painter runs making sure that your Virtual memory is set to Windows Mange should help or setting it up that it 4096 should do the trick Virtual memory is your page file. Honestly I thought this really shouldn't have been a issue since my persona system has 64 gigs of regular memory but seems Substance painter code relies more on Virtual memory while doing its computation. Hope this helps
