There seems to be quite a few problems with LR 6, then LR 6.2 and LR 6.3

Two days ago I upgraded from 5.7.3 to LR 6 .......... that's what you pay for on the Adobe site - when you can find the stand alone version, which they try to hide and keep linking you to the CC version. I bought this upgrade to get support of the D7200.

upgraded to LR 6.0 ...... and it crashed every minute or so ........ read all the stuff on the internet but could not solve the problem ..... so I went through the "Chat line" - and various bit and pieces where done and then it was fine for an hour. I then read about 6.2 and 6.3 ........ so thinking logically I thought that if I hit "updates" in my "new" upgraded LR 6.0 my 6.0 would be updated ...... no not a chance ...... the "Cloud" or whatever Adobe use now kept thinking that I wanted the CC update ..... it then tried to update LR 6 and said that there was a conflict, (which I course is logical as it is a stand alone version).

I then read about where to find the update from Adobe that would update 6 to 6.3 ........ which I did ... reading further Adobe seemed to have buggered up 6.3 so they have produce a "patch" to roll 6.3 back to 6.2 + a bit of 6.3

so that's were I am now ........ my version on my desktop says Adobe Lightroom 6 and in the Sys Info - Lightroom version: 6.3 [ 1052427 ]

I just wonder how long it will last before it crashes

another 8 hours wasted

Anyone else having problems

No, no problems. The roll back was a while ago now and just rolled back the import system to how it was before

The initial problem that I had was when I imported new images and clicked on one of them to edit it - the app just shut down and a crash report was issued
 
No problem with 6.0 or 6.1, didn't get any further than that (fortunately) 6.3 was supposed to fix the mess that was 6.2, thought it had from what I've read.
 
Try turning of GPU acceleration in the settings. That has caused a number of issues where the GPU Isn't fully compatible.

Forget what Lightroom says. It says both of my GPUs are compatible, but in both instances, my editing is smoother with acceleration turned off.
