Topic: Cura hangs on startup

I have been having trouble with Cura hanging on start up. so I turned in a ticket with Ultimaker ( I have one of the new S3 printers)
tech support gave me step by step instructions to solve the problem which deleted all the added profiles and settings which means I will nor be able to set up 3rd party filament. ( I can not go in and set Color, temp, exc.) I have to use only stock settings. Is Cura that bad or is it Ultimaker. I guess I will set up a profile for the printer In S3D and see if it is better software. I hate to do that with a new printer that is still under warranty but Cura is a PITA.

Thanks
Dale

Just go download Cura 15.04.06 and forget about their new stuff. It is garbage. It's my fallback when i don't use S3D.
