Max Update 2019.2

Any issues with it?

Can’t seem to get DR to work after updating. The log says the nodes have started, but no buckets appear. Still investigating.

And DR works now. Local log files on the nodes showed that they couldn’t find licenses. Installed a new version of the license server, and everything started working (restarting the previous install didn’t work).

Can anyone confirm this version requires reinstalling vray license server please?

We didnt need to re-install anything after the 2019.2 update, however, after the update, max seems to be very laggy. The UI seems to take longer to update, than before we installed the 2019.2 update

ech bummer.
Thanks Morne!
We had to install the AD security update because we got infected our MAX scenes with some sort of scripted virus. I have suspition it comes from the Megascans Bridge.
The 2019.2 update already has thin incorporated.
Looks like we gonna wait until MAX is withtou lags again.

Typing in Exclude/Include lists crash Max. Needless to say I switched back to 2018.4.

8 on the keyboard crashes my MAX, which is the latest update.

Build 21.00 When I select a polygon the display goes black and the mesh disappears

the paranoid side of me keeps thinking that autodesk make bugs in maya to make me use max…now im wondering if its the otherway around :wink:

They probabely just have a hard time finding Cobol and Fortran developers :wink:

Cobol and Fortran…sounds like an episode of Buck Rodgers :slight_smile:

Yeah, that’s nothing new for me. It is one of those things that we put up with, but shouldn’t have to.

Well thanks a lot guys. (tongue in cheek sarcasm) I was just about to pull the trigger and upgrade from 2018.(I Think Sp4) to 2019.2 but now hesitant reading all these problems…

I have max 2019.2 faster then 2018 in UI. For example when I switch from point to polygons or something, UI redraw much faster.

I was running a test last night and I was getting a fair bit better VP performance compared to 2018. Im probably going to deploy 2019 in the next day or so when I can hopefully get a break between jobs.

2019 seems solid to me, just slow UI and the double clicking things in the UI is annoying

2019 is better than 2018 and 2017 for sure. 2019.2 working fine here (besides the usual small stuff). Vray Next DR, lic server, etc.

Cool beans, thanks for the info Sir.

2019 is the most stable version of max… ever, possibly. And it was YOU ALL that made that possible by posting your bugs and issues in the forums and getting them logged. Please don’t stop. Sometimes all it takes is enough clues on how to repro an issue to get it addressed, and so posting all the problems you find really helps. Kudos to Hagen in the forums for helping communicate the problems internally as well.
