Graph Editor turns black

Anonymous — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 00:48:27 GMT

Hi, I'm having an issue with the modern graph editor in Maya 2017. Whenever my rig is selected and I scrub through the keys, the graph editor turns black.
I have multiple animation layers for this rig and it only seems to happen when I have a layer selected versus the animation as a whole selected.
I am forced to use the classic graph editor for this not to happen, any ideas or solutions would be appreciated.

For some reason the picture captures the graph editor being white, but it is really black.

Hi!

This looks like a problem with your graphic card (/ driver).
- Make sure you use a proper 3D graphic card for Maya.
- Update graphic card driver (maybe just re-install after an OS update), or
- downgrade graphic card driver.
- Try different Viewport modes (in Preferences), like "DirectX".

My graphics on my Mac are Intel Iris Pro, AMD Radeon R9 M370X
Is this the problem?

Hi!

Make sure the right GPU is used by Maya.

Did you try all available Viewport 2.0 modes/Render Engines?

Yes I tried all the viewports and rendering engines and nothing worked.

How do I go about making sure Maya is using the right GPU?
