So, everything was working great until today I started MatchMover 2010 and it loads the splash screen and the Main window pops up like for half a second and then closes by itself.. its very weird... reinstalling/repairing, didnt work...

I would be so happy if this could be solved.. i really dont want to reinstall windows again..

Hi,

I've had the same problem with my new install of Matchmover 2011. 2010 still runs, but 2011 loads up the splash screen and then 5 seconds later disappears without a trace.

I'm on Windows 7 64bit i7 930. 16 gig of RAM. Geforce GTX285.

Thanks for any help.

[Anonymous]

have you tried 197.03?

[Anonymous]

New drivers 197.45 worked. All running well.

Thanks!

i am having the same issue with matchmover2011... splash screen comes up then nothing

I have a ATI HD2600XT running on a MAC with bootcamp

Same thing here .I am using Matchmover 2011 and I am running HP Pavillion Elite 64 bit m9450f
8 GIG Ram , and my video board is a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700, latest driver.
MM 2010 was working well.
Have 3dsmax subscription.

[Anonymous]

Perhaps its a license issue. I tried installing MatchMover 2011 before having 3ds Max 2011 installed and it didn't work. It only worked after installing 3ds Max.

[lzmihich]

makes sense .I did not install max 2011 yet, as i am still using 2010.
But is there any workaround to license it trough Autodesk independently?

[Anonymous]

I'm not aware of a workaround. Perhaps you could install 3ds Max 2011, but still use 2010. They seem to work fine side by side for me so far.

Let me clarify some of the licensing concerns. To run Matchmover you must have either Maya or 3dsmax installed. As an example. To run Matchmover 2011, Maya 2011 must be installed.

Matchmover 2011 won't go past the splash screen.

HP Pavilion dv6
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
6 gig RAM, i7
NVidia GeForce GT 230M (Current driver '8.17.12.5721' released 6/7/2010)

Matchmover 2010 was working for me. 3ds max 2010 and 2011 and Image Modeller installed and functioning. Matchmover 2011 opens to splash screen and then goes away. I uninstalled 2010 and 2011 and reinstalled 2011... still no dice.

Can someone help? Matchmover 2011 works on my new HP z800 workstation (that never had any 2010 products installed on it).

Thanks for your time,
Adam

This is a fresh install of Maya 2011 with Matchmover 2011 and I had never had any Maya 2010 product installed before.

Fixed the issue: In c:\flexlm\MatchMoverLicense.log file it references “623866 ::: 'c:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2010/adlm/en_US'”
So I simply created that path: c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2010\adlm\en_US
Then copied “AdlmIntRes.xml” from c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\adlm\en_US to : c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2010\adlm\en_US

Match Mover is extremely sensitive to your video driver. You really should ONLY use the qualified driver from AD if you want to have MM working. (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=14959955&linkID=9242259) I don't see the GeForce GT 230M listed but the GT220 lists version 197.45 as the approved version.

I was using the "latest" driver for my FX3800 and was crashing all the time. I switched back to the approved 197.03 version for my graphics card and it is as stable as a rock.

Funny thing, mm does not really crash, it just is extreeeeemly slow. When you leave mm staring up for an hour, you get the interface but still can not work in it because it is incredibly slow.

ADSK Support said that I should try to turn off my network connections, meaning
plugging the cables off and shutting wireless down...bang it works...

BUT

when matchmover is running you cannot just plug your network back in, mm instantly gets into slow motion mode again and does not respond until you plug your network out.

As it seems there is no known solution to this problem, ADSK support has no fix for this.

Bottom line is, forget about network drives or internet connections while working with mm 2011, then it works.

This is one of the strangest problems I ever encountered, I think it has to do with some weird licensing error that tries to scan the network or so. I hope for a fix soon since this is really annoying 😉

Win 7 Ultimate, 64bit, Geforce FX m2700, matchmover 2011 for 3DS Max 2011

Hope this helps some of you guys.

Ciao,

I have the same problem.
I launch match mover 2010 (I've had it with the subscription for max 2010), I see the window, and it disappears and nothing happens.
After I have a window where it is written that my Maya license has expired (I have never had such a license, and if I tried maya, it is no longer installed on my computer)
I disinstalled Matchmover and installed it again, the problem remains...
I have 3dsmax 2011 wich works. I don't have 3dsmax 2010 installed anymore, do I have the install max 2010 back to use Matchmover 2010, or does it works with max 2011.
The computer is based on a i7, 12 Go Ram, Geforce 470GTX with the latest drivers available.
If you see any solution...
Thanks,
Pierre.

I did not think that MM was tied to the Max license, but could be wrong. But FYI there is a MM 2011 available from subscription, try that.
