Topic Description

Detailed Description

I am attempting to run a standalone Python script for Isaac Sim using SimulationApp. However, I encounter several errors upon execution. The IsaacSim application itself starts, but the rendering window is completely black and inaccessible.

Steps to Reproduce

Run a script similar to the following:

from isaacsim import SimulationApp  
  
simulation_app = SimulationApp({  
  
    "headless": False,  
    "multi_gpu": False,  
    "active_gpu": 0  
  
})  
  
simulation_app.close()

Error Messages

Please try the recommended driver version stated in the documentation.

Also, do any of the examples under standalone_examples run successfully? Could you share nvidia-smi and the compatilibity cheker output?

This Solution doesn’t work for me . I have the same Issue with Driver Version 566.14 on Win 11. I downgrade my Driver to 566.03 as recommended in the documentation, but the Error still there.

I have also downgraded the driver to 566.03 as recommended and the error persists. I do not recall marking the suggestion as the solution, and I am still facing the same problem.

The Win11 output shows that there are two graphics cards, one of which seems to be virtual. I don’t know if this is the cause of the problem. After trying for a long time ，I gave up Win11 and turn to Ubuntu 22.04, and everything is working now.
