We have 2 identical amd machines with  geforce 2060 super graphics cards.  Both experience a lot of laginess moving the 'render setup' and 'corona material library' windows around the screen.

Opening a fresh empty Max scene, all dialogues are snappy.  Once i change the render engine to Corona, the 'render Setup' dialogue becomes considerably sluggish to move around the screen. On 1 machine we have the very latest geforce studio drivers, and the other is a few versions behind but both experience the same problem.  All other workstations in the office with different gfx cards do not have this problem.

I'm wondering if this is a 2060 super / corona specific problem?

Thanks

Hi Iain,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this - we've been looking into this, as some of us here have this, but some do not. We've been trying to isolate what makes the difference, so far it does not look like CPU, Win version, driver version, or GPU (so far).

Can I ask a question, do you happen to have Corona for C4D installed on those machines, or some other version of Corona (archicad for example), as well as the 3ds Max version?

Hi Tom, thanks for your reply.  Interesting to hear that others are having this problem also.  We dont have any other versions of Corona installed on these machines, only Corona for 3ds max 2020.

To add to the mix of testing:

One machine also appears to have this problem when the render engine is switched to 'Vray GPU next, update 3'.  The other machine is still snappy on Vray.

Thanks for the info Iain! We're continuing to investigate and will let you know. So far, this is the only user report, it was noticed internally only so far. All info is good stuff for us tracking down the cause, then the solution.

Hi. Just wanna say that I'm experiencing extreme lag with the Corona Material Library as well. I'm using max 2020, Corona 6 RC2, a RTX 2060 Super, and windows 10 Pro.

It's not something new. Had this with all Corona versions that include the material library, several versions of 3ds Max (2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020) and on 3 different PC's with different graphic cards.

Hope this will get fixed :)

Hi,

Thank you for the information.

I just updated my machine to the Windows 10 2004 update and I now have this behaviour too :(

I will carry on investigating exactly what is causing this, but at the first look it seems to be a Windows issue..

Thanks,

Rowan

Some updates on this.

Updated again to latest windows updates, also updated corona to release candidate 2.  Problem still exists.

Interestingly though, I thought I'd test this from home logging in remotely using parsec and the problem seems to disappear and menus are snappy again.  Not sure of the reason for this.. local monitors in office are off.
