Issue

ArchiCAD 21+ Crashes When Opening A File

Environment

Platform/Operating System: Mac OS X El Capitan+ or Windows 7+

Software Version: ArchiCAD 21+

Solutions

One thing worth doing if you have not yet is to restart your computer. You’d be amazed by how many times a simple restart can resolve unexplainable glitches.

If a restart doesn’t work, then the next thing to do is cleaning out your preferences.

In rare cases these files can become corrupt preventing ARCHICAD from starting or possibly causing crashes. – Graphisoft

Other things to try that are a little more involved…

Try another file or template, Reinstall ARCHICAD, Update drivers, Remove System plugins, Remove the CodeMeter key, Search Help Center and ARCHICAD-Talk.

Conclusion

The above solutions should pretty much resolve the issue, and if it hasn’t, I would contact Graphisoft through the proper channels depending on your region.

Important Note

This may or may not work in different environments and you should always remember to back up your data before making changes or applying any solution regardless of source.
