3dsmax10 performace problems...blank windows...two tasks opening

[thomes]

hi

have some problems as i said with 3dsmax10 ...

often i get white windows...i have to move them out of the screen an in...then i can see whats on them...

... sometimes max hangs...it opens a second task in the taskbar with the same name and does things i can´t exactly tell...but mostly doesn´t come back...so i have to kill it...

i think this is graphic card related...has anyone same experiences?

windows vista business sp1
nvidia quadro fx 3450/4000 sdi driverversion 7.15.11.8267
max10 design hotfix 2009.04.01
vray 1-5 sp3a

thanks for any help

There's been a few issues with plugins (colorcorrect for example) causing memory leaks, etc. Move them outside the folder and try running Max again - see if that could be a potential source of the problem.

Yes, Colorcorrect is causing a lot of problems here.
It prevents max from shutting down completely. You have to kill the process by hand with the taskmanager or reboot.
If you install this on your renderfarm you will have to do that all day.

this is good to know. thanks.

I completely ditched CC for now. Just using Vraycolor for LWF for the time-being until it gets fixed.

here CC acts the same as you, I can uninstall it but it's serious problem when you have to work again with old scenes where it's already applied; so I'm hoping that it will be fixed asap

It's only one person developing it and from my understanding, Cuneyt doesn't use Max much. People asked nine months ago if it could be updated and he hasn't responded because he's fairly busy:

I wouldn't hold your breath.

The 3ds max internal color correct is very good if you get used to it so there is no need to use colorcorrect anymore.
Maybe someone clever can write a script that can convert old ColorCorrect scenes to the new internal color correct.

Any update to your problem or was that not the cause?

There is a suggestion here to help with the viewport performance:

One thing you can do is to delete [maxroot]\stdplugs\Autocammax.gup
Another thing is to delete the script [maxroot]\stdplugs\stdscripts\VFB_Methods.ms

[thomes]

sorry bit late...first thanks for the help...

but no cc with max10 since we use the max one...so this can not be the point...

i try the thing -rmejia- has posted this evening...this looks promising... )

will respond

thanks thomes

[thomes]

no...no spacepilot was installed at this machine...

deleted:
[maxroot]\stdplugs\Autocammax.gup
[maxroot]\stdplugs\stdscripts\VFB_Methods.ms

found this at area...same problem...

http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autod...form-glitches/

but no...i have no intellidriver installed here (i have hid-conform mouse with microsoft drivers...dell...)...

so no luck until now...

but i think it´s for sure a driver problem...

I've just investigated better the CC bug and here it totally hangs the 3DS Max process when you exit the program; trying to kill it from taskmanager, it immediately shuts down the pc and restart it from boot
So I decided to throw away some time to remove that plugin; now Max shuts down normally

[tammo]

yes, this plugin is pure evil. i lost so much time removing this from scenes.
