hey guys,
here in the office i had this issue on a machine today,
now i share the experiences, to narrow down the possibe error reasons:
i have been modelling a low poly object with a plane in the background having a sketch texture mapped on. I was modelling for hours in object isolate mode, and than a crash happened while having tried to drag the viewport with mouse wheel (=middle button.)
Now comes the fun part:
I couldnt reopen the file having Application error or crash, so i tried to adjust some things in the prefrences panel, and viewport configuration.
Then i restarted max,
and since then
It crashes at all kind of viewport action like drag, rotate, etc. with mouse buttons, wheels, or without (icon).
I open max (max2009 x64), reset, than i create a box, then i try to drag viewport, and CRASH.
Every time.
Note that the same files have no prblems on other machines. so its not a file or polygon prblem.
Even on the same machine with other versions of 3dsMax i can drag rotate viewport without any problem, seems like as if only this version that i was using got ruined.
i reinstalled max (!), reinstalled directx (!), reinstalled nvidia driver (!), but the same problems, crash on an empty max scene for the first viewport action.-....
its really time to become a question mark from now on, after 6 hours of futile tries....
:-?
