Anyone having issues with VFB and 3ds Max 2018?

[coolhand78]

It seems if I use the stop button on the VFB when rendering an image sometimes it will cause all of the open max windows to start to flicker, max will hang until i have to end the task in the task manager...?
it also seems that the render button the VFB doesn't work sometimes as well, it appears that you have to control the starting and stopping of the render from the max render settings dialog and pop up window...?

anyone else had issues?

I remember that happening, but I don't recall the fix. Usually, things like that are driver issues, have you rolled back your video driver?

Thanks for the replies, i'll try the low thread priority and see if that helps...

haven't rolled back the driver, i updated the driver to see if that had any impact... will keep this one in mind...

cheers
