X3 Graphics issues?

[mcpgmr]

Anyone else experiencing graphic problems after installing X3? Seems like my system is lagging when I select geometry. Entities don't auto highligh or turn red until I refresh the screen or zoom in and out a little with the scroll button.

Paul, these are known issues. The auto highlight one is, anyway.

Thanks Thad. Going back to X2 for the time being. Hopefully a patch will come out soon to fix it.

Paul, I haven't installed X3 yet myself. I've seen too many issues with things that I use daily (hourly?). X2MR2 does what I need it to and I can't afford to mess around with that stuff when I'm the only programmer.

 

 

How's Justin doing?

Justin's doing good Thad. Thanks for asking. So far the X3 issues aren't serious just annoying. I'm going to work on straitening them out little by little. Just glad I chose to do a side by side install so I can still use X2. I think X3 will be fine in time.

yep,

 

I got the same issues with X3 thought a new vid driver would help but it did not

i upgraded my nvidia drivers , now mcam X3 runs very well , much faster than the old driver for selection and xform operations

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having problems with auto highlighting geometry, I didn't know it was an X3 bug but suspected as much

If you go to screen select regenerate display list the problem goes away until X3 feels like it. Then it comes back. I assigned it a key map so it is quicker to fix and less annoying. Another process X3 seems to have fouled up.

Yeah I have been using that fix after being shown by a co-worker. I was previously using X2MR2 which seemed to be fairly stable, didn't have alot of sucess with X2MR2SP1 so I stopped using itdue to constant crashes. The person in charge of our Mastercam upgrades was bound and determined to upgrade all seats to X3 even though I had concerns about it being buggy, luckily the auto highlight issue has been the biggest problem.

 

Thanks for your help
