Known Problems and Limitations in 3ds Max 9 Extension 1
Display
• The Display all triangle edges setting does not work correctly in DirectX®10 display mode.
• There are display issues with running 3ds Max in DirectX10 display mode in Microsoft® Windows® Vista™.
• There are some performance issues when you zoom in and out of viewports.
Animation
• Instability occurs when trying to reopen a scene that had animation layers inside of the animation mixer.
Operating Systems
Windows Vista
• Windows® Aero desktop users in Vista who are running DirectX 9 display mode may experience white flashes in the viewport. To work around this, right-click the 3ds Max 9 icon and select Properties. Locate the Compatibility tab and activate the “Disable Desktop Composition” checkbox. Vista will temporarily switch the desktop theme to Windows Vista Basic when 3ds Max is launched.
• Users with pressure-sensitive devices such as pen tablets may experience performance problems and loss of UI items, such as the Quad Menus. This is caused by Vista enabling additional functionality whenever pressure-sensitive devices are detected. To prevent this, turn off the Pointer Options for Pen and Input Devices in the Control Panel.
• Users running Windows Vista 64-bit must deactivate UAC to run 3ds Max 9 Extension 1.
