3dsmax 2014 UI really slow

I’m finding 3dsmax very painful to work with at the moment. The UI seems so slow to do simple tasks. I’m guessing it is 3dsmax and not Vray.

Simple things like going to graph editor and trying to add a waveform to a particular attribute can be a nightmare if you click on edit. It takes ages to open the menu which means you sometimes are not sure if you clicked it so you click it again and the menu flashes up and closes down quickly.

Other things like the material editor are so slow at times just to create a new Vray material inside a slot. These are just two examples but it’s unbearable at times !

Anyone else experiencing this ?

I had to double check which version you were referring to.

2014 has been the best performer for us in almost 2-3 years! Super fast and more stable.

Does this happen with a blank scene? Which viewport driver are you using?

Can you post a problematic file and I can test it out on my end?

I experience something similar after a bad crash…Try running the repair from the installation it help my situation.

Check if you have running on background some application that uses Java GUI. We had this problem using Freemind, but probably it happens with others.

I’ve just backdated the Nvidia driver to: 314.07 and so far this seems to have resolved all the issues including viewport freeze and then max forced crash every five minutes. Fingers crossed this is the solution…
