Hi,

I never used GLSL hacker so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded latest 64 bit windows version, extracted it and started GLSLHacker.exe. Nothing happens. No warning, error whatsoever. It just doesn't start. Then I tried to start it trough command prompt and still nothing.

What else can I do? How can I investigate further?

I found the answer in this thread http://www.geeks3d.com/forums/index.php/topic,3699.0.html. gumlym found the solution. plugin_gxl_python_27_x64.dll plugin causes this.

So which functionality will be limited without this plugin?

The only limitation is that you won't be able to use Python in your demos. That's all. All features are available in Lua and Python so the Python plugin is not mandatory.

Now if you want to play with Python, you have to install the latest Python 2.7 64-bit :

- https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10.msi


I have to look at this issue in a near future...
