Vesta crashing when trying to view polyhedra information

[Stefan Seidlmayer]

Hello anyone,

I was just trying to obtain polyhedra volume information of a structure with VESTA 3.3.2 (32 bit and 64bit version, tested both).

Vesta crashes everytime as soon as I click the central atom of the polyhedron to display the information.

Steps to reproduce:

1. open structure
2. edit bonds
3. add bonds between central atom A1 and ligands A2
4. select style polyhedral view
5. change to "select mode"
6. click on central polyhedron atom (A1)
7. crash

I hope this is only a minor problem, or a problem on my end...

Please help me find a solution.

Help anyone ?

I can provide the vesta file of the structure - but I tested it also with different cif-files as input. It always crashes with no error message.

OK - I found the solution to the problem meanwhile.

It was caused by the Intel HD Graphics (i5-2400 - Intel HD2000 GPU) driver of my computer.
After updating to the most recent on the crashing is gone.

Just in case anyone has a similar problem.
