Not sure how to describe this but ill do my best.

Opened up Max today and it showed on the viewports images of a scene I was working with the last time I closed Max.
I just clicked on the viewsports and that static image was gone.

eg, Last night I was modelling a street scene with lots of houses. When i finished i closed Max.
Came and Opened Max today and the Images of the street scene I was working on was all over the View ports, It was a proper image, Everything was all distorted and all over the place. I just clicked or moved each viewport for it too go away.

And now, when im working with a scene and I move or rotate it, the image gets stuck on the viewport for a few seconds.

Ive been happening fairly regularly all day today. This has never Happened before. Not sure if its Max or my Graphics card. I havent installed anything in the last few day.

*confused*:shrug:

its some data that is still in your RAM memory it happens al the time when I start up max. It flashes one time and then its gone.

try turning off your computer for 30 seconds or so. then your memory should by wiped!

Well its happened again, whatever it is.

The distorted crazy image thing happened again while rotating a house scene. The froze for a few seconds. After it cam back to life I had the walls of the houses all missing.
I thought they would comeback after a few seconds but they didnt.

So i saved the file and turned off t he computer hoping everything will come back corrected.

Well i reopened the file and the walls were still missing.


not sure whats happening here, I might have to reinstall Max.:blush:

I have got exactly the same problem, just upgraded to a GeForce 4 and it has started to happen. Surely someone knows how to sort it?????

Ive got a Geforce4 Ti 4200.

The problem is still happening. The images get stuck while im working on a project and I have to wait atleast 2 minutes for the image to clear before I can see and continue what I was doing.


Ive a brand new computer too. Athlon2800 I gig ram.

Shutting down the computer doesnt work. The images are still stuck when you first load max.

Try switching your graphics driver to Direct 3d instead of OpenGL. I think you will get rid of the viewport update bug that way at least.
