Papyrus 12 and the tutorial pop ups

Papyrus

The title sounds like a harry potter title :rofl:

I’ve just downloaded the awesomeness that is Papyrus 12. Thank you for thinking about your long-time subscribers.

The pop up tutorials keep crashing the programme and I can’t find where to turn them off. :tired_face: I’ve clicked through them to finish but they keep coming up. Sometimes they crash everything and sometimes they don’t. How do I turn them off?

Argh!

For a quick fix, you can disable the tutorials in the settings:

  1. Go “Options” → “Preferences” (or on macOS, “Papyrus” → “Preferences…”)
  2. In “User Interface”, there’s a "Dialogs tab:

Hope this does the trick.

I didn’t find an immediate reason why the Tutorials would crash. Can you tell me:

  • What operating system you’re on (Windows or macOS, and which version)
  • What kind of computer you’re using (MacBook, iMac, custom PC, etc.)
  • If you’re running any antivirus or something else that could be a factor

That’ll help narrow down what’s going on! :rocket:

I’d read that! We’re working on the sequel; Papyrus 12 and the fixed crash :mage: :magic_wand:

That’s sorted out the automatic tutorials thanks. It’s the only time it crashes.
I was trying to skip through the tutorials to see if it was a first time only and when I clicked finish, the programme would freeze and a error would come up saying it was not responding and needed to close. It hasn’t done it since getting rid of the auto tutorials.

I run on Windows 10. My laptop is pretty old now and a little slow to start in the mornings, like me in the middle of winter! It’s a Lenovo IdeaPad 320s. AVG is the antivirus system.

When I also click into the tutorials, every time it crashes and closes papyrus, so i just close it using the x. I have windows, on a hp, I shall try turning off the tutorials now.

Thanks for letting us know. We’re on it! :mag:

Just to be sure, does Papyrus crash on clicking the “finish” button at the end of the tutorial series, like with @jemma_ash, or clicking on a tutorial in the Learn page?

:bulb: For now as a quick fix, disabling the Tutorials seem to work, in case someone else runs into this.

With me it was clicking on next to get the next tip. or clicking on the little circles at the bottom for the next tip, when it just froze and the whirlygig of doom appeared for a few seconds, then the whole thing shut down. I’ve disabled them as you said for now.
Cheers
