Chaos Corona 10 for 3ds Max - Daily Builds Discussion

[Abdullah_Alallah]

Have you checked with something like PruneScene to make sure there are no retrackers running amok as well as no viruses? The retracker bug and the viruses usually reside in older scene files and once they get into your system (or current Max session), that scene will end up, eventually, screwed up (i.e. slowing down, bugging out, etc.)

hey there, yes I tried that and nothing popped up. and what made me certain is that I reverted back to the 3rd of march daily build and it fixed the super slow viewport issue. i think it had something to do in the latest build with the "Unified Nitrous implementation of drawing CoronaLight in the viewport across 3dsMax versions, which now results in more consistent viewport performance across all 3ds max versions." maybe? or something else that I simply don't understand. but all I know is that reverting fixed it which leads me to believe that the latest daily messed it up.

Hi,

Which versions of 3ds max and Windows are you using? Also, if possible can you send over your scene? I will be happy to look into this.

Cheers!

using 3dsmax 2023.2.2 and windows 11 and the latest Nvidia studio GPU driver. and I get the same result with a fresh scene with nothing in it and Sini software cleaner shows nothing and so would PruneScene.

Any chance you can try to update to 3ds max 2023.3 and see if it still happens there?

Cheers,

As Rowan said - upgrade to 2023.3.

It could be some mix between 2023.2.2 and the new daily. 2023.2.2 WAS actually buggy (but in a pretty stealthy way. In my case, for example, it was screwing up Max files saved in previous Max versions, of all things) and 2023.3 works like a charm (and actually slightly even faster) so updating Max could fix it.
It's always a good idea to keep Max updated to the latest possible version (but can wait and see for a week or two after its release if any reports of buggyness appear) and to check out the changelog for each new Max update or version as they list what was fixed and you may find something you didn't even know was a bug but was bothering you has been fixed.
