Chrashing/Bug ?

[ddiener]

Hi,
my problem is the Afterburn build-in Previewers.

The external Previewwindow and the windows in the Noise-Shape-Params.
When they are activated Max freezes when i do changes in the Afterburnparameters. I´ve tried different Videodrivers, but this didn´t help.
Should i dismiss the Prewievers ?
After the last freeze because of that Max didn´t start anymore. I´ve tried everything but i hat to reinstall.

Best wishes

I have tested it here on a fresh AfterBurn entry on a Win XP Pro and it is working okay. Are there maybe some special AfterBurn parameters in your case that could cause this ?

I have had the same problem of crashing when using the noise shape viewer window.

Running maax 8 sp1
Win XP64
Quadro FX 4500

The solution was to switch to Direct X, instead of software or open Gl.
Have not had ythis issue since.

@sitnisati:
No, all of the parameters were at their defaults. Turning the Prewiev on and THEN changing parameters results in a crash (at the moment of changing something).

@superhypersam:

I run on OpenGL (because the others give not such a nice Vievportquality/-performance)

Thanks your both and best wishes
