Filter Forge 2.0 Has been released today 30 June with a new offer !!!

We're keeping our promises -- it's still June, eh?

Regarding the new filters: we've uploaded a bunch, check the Recent Filters page while they're still on top: http://www.filterforge.com/filters/recent-page1.html

These filters are also included into Filter Forge 2.0 installer, but you'll see them in your filter list only if your install is fresh (i.e. if you didn't have the beta installed.)

installed the new but now says i'm on a 30 day trial. my old key doesnt work (the beta 2 key). where's my new one? or am i supposed to use the key from version 1?

Is there something wrong with the new trial version? I just downloaded it, installed it and it says that my 30-day trial period has expired

My windows version installed and works fine -

and excellent work FF

Windows XP SP3, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ - I doubt it is related to that, as the betas worked fine (with exception of the first release - here I had to uninstall FF1 and clean up manually, then it worked)

1. Filter Forge.exe and Filter Forge x86.exe show up (in task manager) when I run Filter Forge (this is an old AMD, I don't think it has SSE2). Both quits after a sec or two, without any message or exception.

2. I tried manually executing the SSE2 version, that crashes but I believe thats because I don't have SSE2. I then tried manually executing the non SSE2 version (Filter Forge x86.exe), same problem, runs for a second and quits

3. Well I have avast antivirus and some borland debugger installed (but its not running actively), besides from that nothing special - remember the betas worked just fine on this system, nothing has changed. I even tried stopping *all* non vital processes, same problem.


I tried FFXCmdRenderer-x86.exe, it seems to work and I get a message about 30 days left of trial.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am using the latest installer, just tried dl from another browser I never use.. same file I get, so I'm pretty sure its correct (size 49.298.256 bytes, file version 2.8.17314.11906). Still same problem..

No such file exist on my HD So FF quits before even writing that

No change.. runs for a few secs and gone - what can cause FF to exit before showing the interface?

Well, I went ahead and emailed support, but didn't get an answer yet. They're probably taking a day off celebrating the commercial release!?

@da120: please uninstall Filter Forge and reinstall using this link.

Same problem, GMM. I tried Windows 7 and Windows XP and I get the 30 day trial has expired message on both when trying to run it.

I guess I'll continue using 1.0 until the problems are resolved

This shouldn't happen
Please contact the support team with the description of your problem.

No change..same problem. The folder and a small file, "segments", is recreated when I start FF.

I don't have that file or folder (i.e. System)

How can that be? The System folder contains the Library subfolder with the library filters. Please double-check.

You may also need to delete %APPDATA%\Filter Forge 2\System\Cache and %APPDATA%\Filter Forge 2\System\Thumbnails

Please start Filter Forge 2, select any library filter and press Ctrl+L (or select Filter > Locate file). What folder will open?

No messages at all. I tried uninstalling and delete everything FF related (backed up my filters), cleaned the registry for "Filter Forge" related keys and then reinstalled: same problem..

I was having the same type of problem but have finally got it going. Instead of 'saving' the download file I clicked on 'run'. It put itself in 'Temporary Folder', where it is I have no idea, and then automatically installed FF. When I tried to start from the all programs menu FF started! The trial version opened and asked to update, I said no, and then entered my name and key number into the help file option. It registered fine and now everything is working great, it even shows the favorites I saved in the beta version.

Hope this helps.

Did you all get emails stating the new release was ready for 2.0? I got the fail message about the app being out of date and go download. Saw that 2.0 was released but all I see a download for is the 2.0 trial version 30 day non beta. The old 2.0 beta key does not work to register but oh well, the 30 day trial is working. Sure this all be resolved soon.

These always get timed on the holidays!

opal1 you're da man! it works! I had to use Internet Explorer as Chrome don't give you the direct run option. I think perhaps it was some sort of permissions issue, dunno.. Anyways it works - StevieJ did you get that?
