Known Issues#

  • Omniverse Drive is currently available for Windows 10/11 only. Linux support is forthcoming.

  • Omniverse Drive for Windows requires the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable. It will need to be installed if not already present: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

  • Checkpoints are currently not supported. (You cannot choose a specific checkpoint and creation of checkpoints is limited.)

  • If you have multiple Nucleus servers mounted with Omniverse Drive, it is recommended that you not create references across the mounts. Doing so will cause the reference paths to be unresolvable when reading directly from the Nucleus server or when sharing the content.

  • Servers with a large amount of content may take some time to index once added to Omniverse Drive.

  • There is a bug on Nucleus versions prior to 2023.1.0 (Nucleus Core 114.8) that may cause renaming of directories, with .thumbs/ directories within them, to fail in Omniverse Drive. The work-around for older Nucleus versions is to delete the .thumbs/ directory and allow the thumbnail service to recreate the thumbnails automatically in the renamed directory.

  • While rare, it is possible for a root Omniverse Drive directory to become unlinked from a Nucleus server. This may appear as a directory with a brown folder icon on it, or a directory that is unable to be deleted. If this occurs, follow these recovery steps:

    • Open run cmd.exe as Administrator

    • Use the CHKDSK c: /f command, and replace c: with the hard drive letter that stores the unlinked folder

    • Restart your computer to allow CHKDSK to run

    • Once the restart is complete, you should be able to delete the unlinked folder
