]]> On windows, if you experience that Flux:: Center is only displaying an empty black window when you start up Center, there may be an issue with a graphic card driver that needs to be updated.

Try installing the latest available driver for the graphic card (or chipset), normally found directly on the AMD or NVidia website, and sometimes on the computer manufacturer’s website (more commonly for laptop and other computers built together with the screen).

The generic graphic driver installed with windows is not supporting OpenGL 2.0, which is required by Flux:: Center, and by all our software, on both macOS and Windows, as all our software uses advanced 3D-graphics for the graphical user interface, enhancing the usability and the workflow in the software.

WINDOWS USERS IMPORTANT – Prerequisites when using FLUX:: Center on Windows

Starting up Center for the first time

FLUX:: Center Preferences Setup

Flux:: Center is used for installing all our software and all of the different plug-in formats. When using Center for the first time, you should set up the Center Preferences to only download and install the plug-in formats that you need.

To access Center Preferences, simply click on the gear symbol located to the right at the top of the Center window.
