Running Isaac Sim standalone on Windows

Hello.

I am trying to run Isaac Sim standalone using Python on Windows 11 (C:\Users\usr\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\isaac-sim-4.2.0\standalone_examples\api\omni.isaac.core\add_cubes.py). However, when I try to run this program on the command prompt, I get the following error (as shown in the attached image), and the program doesn’t work. I would appreciate it if someone could provide a solution. Thank you in advance.

@k.akamine.0310 i am just another user, but perhaps disclose your system/hardware spec first might help provide more context in order to navigate this issue.

Thank you for your reply.

these are the specs of my PC.

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor
  • Memory: 64 GB
  • SSD: 1 TB
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (VRAM: 24 GB)
  • OS: WIndows11

Below, I am attaching other error codes that seem to be related.



out of curiosity - if you were to go into Window’s device manager and disable the display driver listed as Microsoft Direct3D12, would that change the launch behavior?

I had an issue a while back that was to do with multiple GPUs as far as i know its been resolved. One thing to try is disable your second GPU in device manager and try to run it again. Also I see its a vulcan error. You could download the latest SDK for vulcan, I tried this for a separate problem and it didnt fix it. I know there is some strange bugs in this version related to vulcan… I’m not 100% on your issue but it seems a few people inculding myself have issues related to vulcan on the latest build…

I selected NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 from the Device Manager and checked the driver from its properties, but I couldn’t find anything named Microsoft Direct3D12.

If I am checking the wrong location, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

Thank you for your reply.

I reinstalled the Vulkan SDK, but it still didn’t work.
I’m not very familiar with this, but is it enough to install just the SDK?

For reference, the 2023.1.0-hotfix.1 version of Isaac Sim worked without any issues.

Please follow the Isaac Sim Driver Requirements page and the note below to install a recommended driver:

We recommend installing the Latest Production Branch Version drivers from the Unix Driver Archive using the .run installer on Linux, if you are on a new GPU or experiencing issues with the current drivers.

@k.akamine.0310 Have you resolved this issue? Could you try the latest Windows Drivers and see if the same error persists?

If the issue continues, it might be related to a multi-GPU problem that has been mentioned. You could try disabling the other GPUs or running Isaac Sim with the following flag:

--/renderer/multiGpu/enabled=false
