I’m writing to you with a heavy heart as I have diligently followed all the “directives” provided to resolve the issue, including installing an unstable beta version of Windows, which unfortunately has brought additional complications. I feel it’s necessary to voice my concerns, not just for my sake but for everyone affected. It seems unfair to continuously rely on trials and errors suggested by others when it has only worked for a few.
The issue has persisted for three months without a substantial resolution or alternative solutions to mitigate the problem. Why not consider implementing a more robust approach or engaging experts with higher levels of expertise? These are merely my thoughts and suggestions, but it’s evident that something must be done.
I am losing precious time, time that could have been spent working efficiently with Corona. Instead, I am forced to use other software, which I haven’t paid for, leading to additional licensing issues and wasted efforts. Most importantly, this prolonged experience has drained my patience and hope. Despite all this time, no REAL solution has been provided, only a constant decline in the situation.
ps.:
Additionally, I have invested resources amounting to thousands and thousands of euros to enhance the computational power of my workstation and optimize CoronaRenderer. However, I find myself at a standstill, unable to accomplish even the simplest tasks, like rendering a cube, without encountering problems.
I hope you understand the gravity of the situation and take appropriate action.
On the 9950X issue, this unfortunately appears to be a Windows issue and a problem with the latest update. Everything gathered from user reports and testing is pointing to that, and so while we understand it is frustrating, there is nothing we can do to fix it as nothing in Corona is broken, but something in that Windows update is broken. If there is evidence of a 9950X experiencing problems with a particular version of Corona WITHOUT having that problematic version of Windows installed (so, a prior version of Windows), do please send that in. But based on the evidence we are seen so far, we are all at the mercy of Microsoft to correct whatever problems they introduced in the latest Windows release (which has also carried problems for other software too, again based on information that has been posted).
I am not sure on the comment about Vantage though and how that relates to the original topic? Sounds like it should go in a different thread on its own, because it is a different issue?
Thank you for your response, but I believe what you wrote is neither reasonable nor accurate. For the first time, I find myself in complete disagreement with you, despite your continuous assistance. This issue occurs not only with the 9950x but also with the 5950x, Xeon processors, and others. I also see that all users of 3ds Max and Cinema 4D with high core count capabilities face the same situation. This never happened before the introduction of versions 12 and 13, and the system is always Windows.
I’m sorry, but blaming others (Windows) does not seem like a good way to promote yourselves; on the contrary, it creates the opposite effect. No CPU software causes issues under Windows 11; instead, I have noticed a significant performance boost (and I have tested them all). Even your core limiter for Cinema 4D does not work, as the cores remain active even if I manually set them.
I have also installed the beta version, which is unrelated to the installed version of Windows. This problem has been ongoing since November (when you started releasing versions 12 and 13). If you look back at my other posts, you will see that in October and November there were no updates, and it was always the old version.
Please note that there are separate issues, that are tracked separately, for general high core count machines, and the 9950X in particular (which has its own unique situation, which is related to the Windows update, which is what I was referring to here). On the general high core count, there have been fixes for those already in the latest Corona releases and hotfixes, so most of those will be resolved (one that may remain is high core count dual CPU systems, which again were a separate case). Of course if anyone is still having a specific issue, let us know, and let us know which CPU set up you have so we can see where the issue lies (general high core / thread count, 9950X in particular, high core / thread multi CPU systems so mostly Epycs). Thanks!
I too found this strange occurrence with latest Corona plugin.
User set core/thread count is respected, but only when using Cinema’s “Interactive render region” (Alt+R), all else uses all cores/threads.
Wouldn’t had noticed, since I got single core reserved. After changing that to half, it got obvious.
Can you explain to me step by step how to remove the beta version that you made me install to return to the official version of Windows 11 with this update?
Hello, I had the same problem with x9 PC (x5950/9950x and even 14900k was tested)
Best solution for now is rollback to 23h2, the general problem seems is in windows
Also, the problem was fixed and tested on few PC with 9950 with update to 24h2 26100.3321
(You can also turn off EXPO in bios in some cases that help as well)
We spend about a few months for making all possible test before find out that problem was mostly in Windows update after 24h2 26100.1742
Looks like they broke something in power plan, there not only corona suffer with that kind problem
Try leaving the Insider program and then check for updates. The new update should just appear as available for download. There is a chance that it won’t appear for you because, as far as I know, they are rolling out updates gradually.
I hope this is a joke, but the only way to exit the Windows Beta Dev Insider program, as you indicated, is to REINSTALL A CLEAN VERSION OF WINDOWS. This means losing all my programs, settings, and everything else. This is what it tells me when I try to leave the Insider program.
Now, I don’t want to go crazy, but for heaven’s sake, can you evaluate the consequences of what you suggest and inform yourselves before offering random solutions just because someone wrote it on a forum? I’m literally getting angry about this. I have software with customizations, etc., and now I have to reinstall everything from scratch, losing even the libraries that are internal to the programs?!
I can’t exit until the next release of a beta version of Insider, nor can I roll back to the previous version as it immediately installs the Insider one since “YOU CAN ONLY EXIT IF THERE’S A NEW VERSION” … thanks for the damage! Your programmers, testers, problem solvers didn’t know this??? If that’s the case, I believe there is little hope that you can fix compatibility issues! Now I’m even furious.. thanks a lot!
And it’s my fault for trusting and solutions blindly.
For all users: NEVER INSTALL THE INSIDER VERSION!!! AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!
IME, such issues can be/are prevented using special OS ‘cloning/backup’ tools…
(ie. “Reflect”; personal preference, since they had free, unlimited time version, 'till not so long ago.)
