Filter Forge - Too many Loop iterations in "Foregin Planet" filter make Win11 crash

Cliff3D Cliff3D Posts: 7	Using the latest FF15 I can't even preview this filter (Library_13630-1.ffxml) it brings my i9 CPU usage up to 100% and - after hours - causes my laptop to reboot. Editing the filter to reduce the iterations to 6 or less rectifies the issue, but the result is poor. I am testing it at 7, but render time has shot up again. This problem has apparently been around for a few years ago, although the filter is said to have worked much quicker initially (and not crashed PCs). Cheers, Cliff3D

They may have some good idea for solving the problem. It may also be a trouble related to a change in the last versions of Filter Forge, so they may solve it with an update. It happened to me before that I found something not working and they immediately solved it.

Cliff3D Cliff3D Posts: 7	Hi Ramlyn, actually I contacted Support first and posted here while awaiting the response. The reply I got was to the effect that it's up to the filter author to fix it. I would contest that FilterForge 15 rebooting my PC by running a FF provided filter is cause for FF to look into it, but TBH I'm just too darned tired (and hot!). But thanks anyway! Cheers, Cliff3D
