Iris Pro seems to work fine in 2.2release. not really.

What does it mean if the cornell renders fine and the luxball gives an abort trap ?
Are the kernels compiled only with the stuff needed ? eg If a scene has no textures the texture stuff will not be compiled along ?
meaning there could be something wrong in the texture code then ?

Yes, it is conditional compilation. v2.2 was full conditional compilation, v2.3 was hybrid, v2.4 has no conditional compilation at all.

No, it is the OpenCL drivers to be broken and the hardware to be very limited: on Windows/Linux we don't touch Intel "GPUs", not even with a 2 meters long stick. They are explicitly avoided by BlendLuxCore.

OK I'll put away the stick

I would suggest we finally disable Iris for good.

Some users get set up when their harddrives are filling up and the Umbrella keeps spinning.

@B.Y.O.B
Would that be done in BlendLuxCore ? I remember us talking about that.

BlendLuxCore disables all GPU devices with "intel" in their name by default: https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/BlendL ... ces.py#L36
I think this should work for the Iris Pro GPU, unless there's no "intel" in the reported name?

The user in the issue you linked is using LuxCore standalone however, not the Blender addon, so it doesn't apply there. He will have to disable it with the OpenCL device selection string, and set film.opencl.enable = 0.

Ah OK yes with standalone you always get the compile error since all files state
To get around this one has to use
since there are 3 OCL devices. On normal PCs there are usually only two.

film.opencl strangely enough works with Iris Pro. Well at least it does something then.
