Hello,
Thanks for reporting this.Could you please check your Graphics Card capability of your machines where you encountered problems following the information below?The info is in the readme:
***************
Graphics Card
We recommend that you use a certified graphics card. See the Autodesk Inventor graphics cards and drivers. This site also includes useful information that was not available at the time this document was written.
Inventor Fusion TP2 requires a minimum capability of Pixel Shader 2.0 and Vertex Shader 2.0. As a guideline, the following graphics card supports Pixel Shader 2.0 and Vertex Shader 2.0.
NVIDIA AMD(ATI) Intel
GeForce FX series 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 Radeon after 9500 GMA X3000 or higher
GeForce GT and GTX Radeon X
Quadro FX (all models) FireGL X and V (all models)
Quadro NVS after 280 FirePro (all models)
We recommend that you don't turn on the Effects if you are using low end graphic hardware. Below are the minimum requirements for the three effects.
Effects Effect Level
Shadow Shader Model 2.0
Silhouette Shader Model 2.0, SM 3.0 would be better
Ambient occlusion Shader Model 3.0
Testing your Graphics Card Capabilities
1. In your Inventor Fusion Install directory ("C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor Fusion Technology Preview 2" or the equivalent on your machine), you will find a Graphics Capabilities Application "AdskDiagOutput.exe".
2. Open a command prompt (Start Menu-> Run> cmd) and navigate to this folder. Type "AdskDiagOutput > out.txt" and press enter. The program will run and produce an output file (out.txt or any other name you choose).
3. Open the output file. The entry will look something like this:

The last line "Feature Level" will tell you what level of Graphics support your card offers Inventor Fusion.
If the value is less than 2_0, then Inventor Fusion may not work well or at all on your machine. If you find any graphical defects, they may not be addressed by the Inventor Fusion Development Team.
If the value is 2_0, Inventor Fusion will work on your machine but the "Ambient Occlusion" effect will not work. If you turn the effect on, you will see no change to your image.
If the value is 3_0 or higher, all effects used by inventor Fusion are supported on your machine.
In case you have any issues with your graphics card, and you believe the graphics card meets the requirements, please email the above text file along with a description of your problem to labs.iv.fusion@autodesk.com. You may be contacted by a member of our team and asked to provide further information like screenshots, sample files etc. in order to help fix the issue.
**********************
Please let us know what you find.Inventor Fusion has certain graphics card requirements that are not met by a generic driver. If possible, you should either install a graphics card driver from the manufacturer of your graphics card, or you should try to install Inventor Fusion on a different machine.
Thanks,
