Viewport Fails

[glorybound]

DR off, and it still froze the viewport.

My viewports broke again just now after a distributed rendering finished. Me and Bobby have totally different hardware and software setups. This means it's highly likely to be a bug with V-Ray. Can you kindly look into it? It's extremely annoying and time consuming having to restart 3ds Max 20 times a day.

I have been complaining about it here for a year with no help from Chaos.

Hi Alex_M I was able to finally reproduce this viewport issue while testing your scene for the other thread. My viewports are not showing anything but the default grey blank background.
I will se what we can do about this. Using 3ds Max 2024 here. What version have you been using?

[Alex_M]

Brilliant!! I'm currently using Max 2023.3, but this issue dates back at least 3 years when I used Max 2020.

MAX 2024 (updated), V-Ray (updated), Video driver (updated) Windows 11 (updated)

I can't be expected to have to crash Max whenever I stop rendering and want to do something; it is ridiculous! Is there a fix?

Hello! This is still happening three times today, and the thread seems to be dead.

[Alex_M]

Same here. Yesterday it happened at least 3 times for me as well and its extremely annoying to restart Max over and over again after each distributed rendering. Unfortunately, the latest update doesn't seem to have fixed this.
