Unable to use Creality Scan 4

I’m trying to use my Ferret for the first time, but I can’t get the software to work. When I start the software, it pops up a message saying the scanner is connected. It then launches a dialog for Performance Testing. It has a circular status indicator that initially starts spinning as expected, but it quickly just freezes. Shortly after that, my whole computer freezes. I have to do a hard reset to get it to come back. I’ve tried letting it sit for a few hours, but it doesn’t get beyond that testing.

I don’t have the most up-to-date computer, but it seems like it should work.

CPU: Intel Core i7 9700K @ 3.60GHz

RAM: 64.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4

Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB

I have the latest video card drivers, and I’m plugging the scanner directly into a motherboard USB 3.0 slot (I’ve tried different ports, as well.). Is there anything I can do to use this scanner with my current hardware? Could an older version of Creality Scan still work?

p.s. In searching for answers, I’ve seen a few posts saying official support is done through Facebook. Is that true? I don’t have a Facebook account, and I really don’t want one. I’m hoping to get some help here.

Same here, 11700k

AMD 7900 xt, current driver 26.x

Otter up to date, newest software

Disconnect everything, reinstall creality scan connect i can do one scan, make one error and the software freezes, you close the software open it again → performance check → freeze, need to hard reset cant use it until i reinstall, i learned to never go back, going back or doing something that would make the software think more than 3 seconds → reinstall

Fresh otter, out of the box, unusable, 22d later and this post does not even have a reply yet this thing will go straight back to the dealer im not sitting around here with that lol …
