dForce issue: "Kernel for your card not compiled"

I'm using a Titan X (Pascal), a 1080TI, a 980, a 780TI, and a Titan Z in DS. No matter which card I select for the dForce Simulation, I get an error saying the dForce kernel for the selected card is not compiled, or needs to be recompiled.

Is this something that happens at runtime, or is this something that needs to be done on the developer's side of things?

I cannot upgrade my Nvidia drivers beyond what they're using now, because the Titan Z will not function with anything above the 382 drivers, and apparently you can't install separate drivers for each card.

 

The Simulation still works, it's just really slow.

Any chance of getting this to use all OpenCL devices?

 

(On a technical note for the website here, putting Comment brackets (less than/greater than) around a word either hides or deletes that word. Might wanna give that a look.)

    It's normal if you have not used dForce on that device before, or if there is an update to the software.

    Ah, ok. I see that now. Once it runs through a sim things do speed up, so it looks like the recompiling does happen on the user-side.

     

    Had me worried.

    It's a message (information) letting you know it needs to do something that can take a bit of time, and allowing you to decide not to spend whatever time that might be (which varies depending on several factors) at this moment. It is not a warning.

    No, it cannot currently use multiple OpenCL devices at the same time.

    I got this message too. I clicked "ok" to allow it to compile, but I get a message saying "Error initializing OpenCL kernels". It doesn't give any other information. Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it?

    I have "error initializing openCL kernels" message too.. I guess if kernel is old (as AMD or core 2 etc) openCL does not supported..Even if driver upgraded as well..

    I cannot change my video or motherboard cards because HP allinone..

    It should happen only the 1st time you add a different GPU, a different CPU, or upgrade DAZ Studio. And if you have an AMD GPU then it will compile for your intel or AMD CPU.

    I receently received this message again. I clicked "continue" to allow the program to compile, at which point Studio froze, forcing me to shut it down. Now, every time I try to run a simulation, the program freezes, forcing me to shut it down. How do I fix this?
