3dsmax 2017

[Moriah]

Why do people keep using that crappy Autoback "feature", that doesn't even save half the time... When there's a few scripts out there that do the same, better, faster, and don't crash...

Only thing positive about 2017 for me is that the edit poly sub element mode is pretty fast now, 2-3x faster, compared to 2015. Other than that.. meh

After turning off Autoback, I haven't crashed all weekend.

I've spoken too fast. I had an all-day session in Max 2017 yesterday, starting with a fresh scene, and I'm still seeing lots of random crashes. Mostly when modeling and using snapping in orthographic view. I've sent all the reports to Autodesk. Let's see what they say...

I don't have any issues with Windows 10

Thanks for the Info! cool maybe now its starting do behave like a pro software
i just hope the troubles with windows 10 of hell are also less.

Well, all those different frameworks (WPF, .NET, Qt, OGS etc etc)... they all need time to initialize apparently. I would bet on the .NET and WPF being the biggest culprits. Maya is also getting slower and slower to start - it used to be so much faster.

Best regards,

SP3 fixed hairfarm bug and RPManager has a new update which make it usable with 2017!

So 3ds max 2017 is not Beta anymore it seems. I am starting a project with it right now.

Ah so I wasn't the only one noticing that max crash less without autobacks
Defeats a bit the purpose of autobacks

[Jiri.Matys]

Yes, I disable autobackup too. With bigger scenes, it takes a long time to save and its really annoying and sometimes maybe it could crash, when you do something and max wanna save backup in the same time.

After that, max didnt crash for a very long time.

[glorybound]

I wouldn't base your decision on me. Today, no crashes.

With 2014 and now 2016, I can work for days and have no crash, to the point that I disable autobacks, this doesn't make me wanna go on 2017

If MAX freezes for more than a few minutes, I'll kill it. Sometimes I wait and it will come back to life, but sometimes not. Moving too fast will crash it sometimes, too.

1-2 crashes a day is most stable release for you?

Sorry, but its not normal. I have no crash with 2017 till today. Only with IPR, but its not max.

[glorybound]

I am still getting my 1-2 crashes a day, but that seems to be extremely normal. I would say that it is the most stable release for me, so I am happy.
