News [RESOLVED] RTX 5000 series NVIDIA driver issues with Lumion 12 and older versions, also affecting Lumion 2024

Hi Ana,

I understand the frustration, we've been at it with Nvidia for a while. To speed up the process, it always helps to contact them and report the issue to explain how it's affecting you. It seems that they were responsive about the second part of the issue they caused (the 24 and newer crashes) but haven't addressed yet the older versions of Lumion.

From our developers they received a way of reproducing it and have access to Lumion. So they should be able to figure out what was left out of the driver.

Hey guys, it seams like Lumion support is only focused on solving issues for Lumion 2024.. this seams partly a defective product issue for Lumion 12 and this is not acceptable (these issues happened before too on older gpus) so there is a problem Lumion 12 itself, software developers need to own up to and address and not just blame Nvidia ... we need a real solution or a acceptable alternative like a Lumion 2024 perpetual license to all Lumion 12 owners.
the Nvidia driver update that came out April 28th did not fix the issue on my end for Lumion 12 it seams to only have helped Lumion 2024 users.
I believe you misunderstand the issue at hand here.

The first report we sent to Nvidia was about Lumion 12 back in February. The fact they haven't addressed it yet means it's probably higher complexity and requires a lot of work for their new architecture. The issue doesn't occur on older Nvidia GPUs.

As for the issue that happened in the past, it was also because of Nvidia releasing drivers immediately when they launched their 40x0 series and it's documented here:

It is a very similar situation and there is historical precedent. It took 3 months for Nvidia to address it in an official release back in 2022 (Jan 23 was when the driver fix was added) and most likely it will be a similar estimate now.

Hi kimti

Thanks for trying and noting here.

I took a look at the release notes. Sadly nothing in there for us that I could see. Looks like a rollup of the prior release with some recent patches, plus a few fixes for some games.
--------------------------------------------------

For Lumion 2024 and newer with RTX 5000 series:
The hotfix for 576.02 is now included in the release 576.28 ( 30 April 2025) Game Ready Driver

As release 576.40 12 May 2025 is now a newer WHQL release then use 576.40. Not yet tested by us.

Hi lumG9Vk1

Lumion 12.5 supports up to Nvidia 40 (GeForce and Quadro) series cards.

And also the NVidia 50 (GeForce (known) and Quadro (unable to test here)) series cards, except for the moment there is a driver issue that NVidia are working on making a fix for Lumion 12.5 and older.

Does that help to clarify things for you?

What series card do you have or are looking at getting? Because there are other options if its an urgent requirement.

Hi

In case you have not caught up with the earlier May 20 posts above:
As per this Threads initial post:
Edit 26 May 2025: Issues with Lumion 12.5 and older are now fixed with the release of driver version 576.52 or newer.
Edit 26 May 2025: Both issues are now considered as fully RESOLVED.

And Knowledge Base: [RESOLVED] Known Issue: NVIDIA Driver version 572.60 Released 25 Feb 2025 and newer cause issues with Lumion (until further notice)
That’s great! I bet you’re happy to move past this!!! ?
