Which version did you use to create it?

The most recent version on asset store. Beta 0.34

Hi!

I have the same issue, cant open my createt File. I can open all other Files. Here my Shader:
Didn't change anything manually. Give me an email and i can send you the code.

the shader is not complete jet

Looks like a bug alright, I'll fix this for the next version

Ok, thank you very much. shader forge opened shader programming for me. its a really good tool. When will you release the new version? Or till then is there another solution to open it (like change a bit of code)?

There are some more little issues. When i connect view direction to vertex offset, everything gets pink an an error appears "view direction not defined". i run this shader in dx11 on dx10 gpu.

another thing is that shaderforge has problems to delete nodes. wen i have many nodes and i want to delete some of them it might happen, that it needs very long time or crashes. (haven't waitet more than 4 minutes).

thank you very much,

Andre

The new version will most likely release on Monday.
The view direction issue is known, I'm not sure when/if that is going to be fixed.
The delete bug sounds odd though, you might want to make a separate thread about that, and explain the problem in-detail with a clear repro case
