slate material editor previews showing flat gray

[s_gru]

most of my materials in the slate material editor (while i'm creating them) are showing flat black squares, or sometimes flat white. there's no sphere or shading. it's in max 2024 and i have updated to update 2. gpu rtx. if i hit the U key to update the preview, i can see it's trying, but it never changes the preview.

anyone else having issues?

EDIT: sometimes when i specifically choose Vray 6 or Vray 6GPU in the Assign Renderer in 3ds max it will populate all the spheres. but then, while i'm using GPU as my production renderer, i'll click the lock-button and they all switch to gray previews again.

Hello,

You'll need the updated release 6.20.00 build 00001 (we uploaded it yesterday 07.12.2023).

Best regards,

thank you!

ps - i used to get notification of nightly releases or something like that - early releases? but since my company changed and changed accounts i don't seem to get notifications. i thought in the past with my original purchase we had to "sign up" for nightly builds?

thanks
