yes thats caused by the low baking resolution of the tiles map. imho it should bake it as large as is possible, or have an adjustable baking resolution (with a very high limit). almost any time i use tiles, i set the number of tiles and uvwmap size to the maximum so i can take advantage of the random variation controls.. a small tiled map ( necessary with anything but a huge bake size) will lead to obvious, err, tiling immediately if you use randomisation. id imagine 10kx10k or larger is needed for most uses of the tile map.

out of interest is the baking thing a stop-gap solution until it is properly supported?

I'd also like the old window back.

So do I !!
I don't get something: why changing something that works ? the "old" window was perfect !

The max one has the capability to select and copy text, which can be quite handy.

Hmmm but with the "old" one, the content was written in the log file, thus allowing to copy text as well, no ?
That's a pity.

The file is still there...

^^ Agreed with above, would love to see the old one again, if it's bothering somebody just add the option to turn it off or something .

You've said it
And correct me if I'm wrong, but the 3dsmax Render Messages can't open itself automatically, right ? so if you forget to open it prior to rendering, you're f****d. Please, at least, the possibility to use the original one ...

Ok, will see what can be done about it.

Is there a nice concise tutorial / overview of the new variance sampler anywhere? or in progress, thanks

You can check our V-Ray 3.3 overview in our YouTube channel here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XB5nAxQnzs
The fist demonstration shows the advantage of the new algorithm.
Just in case if you've missed the Vlado's post about the most important 3.3 features :

We might be doing a tutorial based on the contact sheet that Lele posted.
