Davinci Resolve crashes at splash screen (loading Fairlight page)

Support AUR
1

Hello,
I had Resolve working on my MSI GT72 before, but had to reinstall Manjaro recently. The reinstallation of Resolve via pamac/AUR went through, but when trying to start it crashes on the splash screen at the message “loading Fairlight page”. Nvidia drivers 4.60, OpenCL 4.60 and nvidia-prime are installed.
Errors in DebugResolve:

I am tempted to say everything else looks good :wink: Can anyone help?

I had this same issue and found the answer on the Black Magic Design form, so I created an account here so I could reply and help you, and anyone else who stumbles across this thread, fix it. :grin: The issue is with the current version of Curl, 7.74. You will need to downgrade both curl and lib32-curl to 7.73. I also tried upgrading to 7.75, but it was still broken. You’re going to need to install downgrade, but install it using yay -Sa downgrade, not Add/Remove Software, otherwise it won’t work. Then simply run sudo downgrade curl and type the number for version 7.73.0 then repeat for lib32-curl. After doing that, Davinci Resolve launched for me.

Hope this helps.
