just upgraded from RC5 to RC9 and I am experiencing scene hangs.  When i select my scenes corona camera for instance, there is a 10 second hang before I can edit it.  The IR is not as responsive + all around more slower interface and a few hangs.
I am using Max 2016

Made the new direct light solver optional and off by default (there is switch in performance settings) to prevent problems in scenes with nonphysical fakes and transparent lights that we cannot fix now. We will fix these problems for the 1.8 release, and the solver will be always enabled

So this means the light sampler will be the same as in 1.6?  What if we are using RC5, because RC 7-8 was too buggy, should we update to RC9? or is that problem not that common? I'm not sure I understand the "nonphysical fakes and transparent lights" enough to figure out if I would have that problem? also what is the problem that it causes?

+1 to these questions...

max 16 sp4, win 7 sp1, RC9
with unchecked the new new direct light solver checkbox, I am still experiencing cpu usage increase to about 25 when select a coronaCamera even with a blank scene. with interior scene, heavy lag, low fps, slow IR..
compared to RC5, I guess it is the savest build for me.

1. open taskManager (always on top)
2. open blank scene
3. create coronaCamera
4. select it
5. cpu usage increased
6. deselect it / create non-corona camera
7. cpu usage 0

go to time 00:30 and till 00:40 and look up and right at the ceiling and go to  1:09 till 1:19 it is more apparent in the ceiling there
How did you use the uhd cache here? Was it computer anew for each frame, or one cache file was saved and reused for each frame?

RC9, Max 2017
Corona camera with Clipping on displays a red plane in Perspective and ortographic views, regardless of objest selection. It is not visible in Camera view.

Is it OK to reinstall 1.6 over 1.7 or is it advisable to completely remove 1.7  from my system first.  I have a corona camera in 1 of my scenes too, will that be an issue?

Same problem here with CoronaCam selection: + 10% of CPU usage (RC9 + Win7 + 3ds max 2015)

AFAIK this is a limitation of 3dsmax, visibility and clipping planes are not visible through the same camera. I guess this doesn't work in Standard and the Physical cam, too.

Just installed 1.6 from 1.7 rc8 and the file opens with multiple errors and then crashes max without opening the scene, is there something I need to do in order to use my scene with 1.6?

I think you need to install RC9 (at least RC7) and save your file, before it opens in 1.6

This looks like an issue with opening file from one version in another... I think a minidump could help.
You can also try uninstalling Corona completely, and then re-installing it.

Could it be you have corona cameras in your converted scene?

I think it must have been, I have installed RC9 and will continue using until I can go back to 1.6 as soon as this job is over. Even with RC9 it looks like noise levels still requires a lot more render time to reduce to acceptable levels. Unable to do a proper test at the moment as I have a deadline due. Kicking myself for changing over to RC7 from 1.6 but I presumed it was close to ready and I wouldn’t have any serious issues. Lesson learnt.
