I was hoping that all the memory leak fixes would be the end of all the crashes and freezing for me but after about 5 minutes I created a spline circle and like so many times before max 2016 freeze while I click and drag to make the spline. I’ll try some other stuff next week (I only work part time at the moment and no more this week) to see if some or all of the other crashes are there, like the orbit the camera [CRASH], entering sub object mode [CRASH] or the best one; having max running and I’m working on some papers and [CRASH] max goes down even though I’m not doing anything at the moment. It’s far from all the time but enough so that I run 2015 on the same computer for all production work and I have no problems what so ever with that version.
Well – this is certainly not normal behavior. Max 2016 as been pretty solid too me, even more so with SP2 which finally fixed that threatful memory leaking bug with the nitrous viewport. It looks like there’s something wrong with your 3ds Max 2016 configuration, or with the system..
BTW: you are not the REAL Marcus Persson i presume ?
