Broken matchbox nodes in Flame 2025.2 (Linux)

Flame Matchbox
1

Hello everybody,

When I was testing the latest version I have realized some of the matchbox nodes are not working. They were working fine in version 2025.1.2.

I didn’t test all of them but these are the ones that give an error code on result:

  • y_shape
  • y_sample
  • y_grid
  • y_edgeblur
  • y_dirblur
  • y_blurs

The error message in console is “PIPELINE : CProcessShader::RenderFrame::CreateRenderGraph”.

Does anyone have the same issue or is there a fix for this?

Hi,

I had the same error message with these JB matchboxes:

JB_erodeMatte
JB_lidar
JB_PixelDisplace
JB_autoMatte
JB_timeDisplace
JB_colorRemap
JB_skyLapse

I checked a few of those y_matchboxes and they are broken for me as well.
Broken on 2025.2 and 2025.2.1, on linux and mac.

I guess I’ll go back to 2025.1.1

This is a massive deal breaker.

I think this list has gotten worse in 2025.2.1

I’ll take a look on my 2025 Mac test machine today. We were just getting ourselves ready for an upgrade.

@kyener @persona Are you seeing thses errors on Mac or Linux? Probably effects both :thinking:

This has been going on since the transition away from OpenGL to Vulkan.

In the old days the matchbox code was more or less sent to the GPU as is. Now a lot more processing is applied. And that can break old code. I’m not sure if ADSK is including some or all of the Logik MX in their automated test suite?

Seems like they fix some issues, but then sometimes that creates new ones.

Re:2025.2 and 2025.2.1
All adsk matchboxes appear to be running without issue, from the middle of last night to very early this morning, right before some ars(hole)onist set fire to the countryside, taking out power, comms and telecoms.
I haven’t tried the logik matchbook tools.
I’m too busy choosing my new 3 bedroom townhouse next to the country club on the land that just became available.

@PlaceYourBetts I haven’t checked all of them on Mac but Y_Sample and Y_Blurs are not working in 2025.2 & 2025.2.1 - same as @stu

Took a look at the code of Y-Sample. Not readily apparent what broke, might have time tomorrow to dive in deeper.
