I don't know why this slicer has to be so graphics intensive as to seemingly require cutting edge, near gaming system graphics capabilities, but I have had nothing but trouble with Chitubox since I got this Mars.
I am trying to open certain high res models in the lastest Chitubox v1.6.5.1 on three different computers, all running Windows 7 (and one running Linux, but that is a whole nother issue that has been ignored here). On two computers, the program will seemingly load the model, but then it will not show a respresentation of the model on the screen. I can slice it and it seems to do that, but I can't move, scale, or support the model at all. On the other computer, Chitubox just crashes when I try to load it. This happens on several models, all high res, while smaller models load fine.
I can't upload the files here, so I uploaded them to my server and you can see them there.

Spock_lowres [loads fine] - www.RobotsAndComputers.com/temp/PlaKit_StarTrek_SPOCK_NO_BASE.stl.zip
www.RobotsAndComputers.com/temp/biker_girl.with_base_fixed.stl.zip
I need to clarify something. The HI_RES Spock, does kind of show (unlike some models - like the biker_girl - that just don't show at all), but only the base shows up. Others in other forums have already verified that the files are fine (and I had no doubt of that) but no one has been able to tell me WHY some files work fine in Chitubox and others do not for me.
I have already tried older and newer versions. I've tried enabling graphics compatibility mode and disabling thumbnails. I am at my wit's end. If I can't get a slicer to work and anything, then this printer is of no use to me. Any help will be greatly appreciate!
