ShadowWind, I had a pretty stable install of Pro at the 1st update, I think that was in October. Then I got confident with it and installed a cumulative update about 6 weeks ago. Since then I am having crashes, not nearly as bad as Joker, but it's really making my Vue Pro experience very frustrating. I was hoping the last 2 updates would fix it...the slowness when going through material summary, how it starts to crawl after a while (moving items in windows, working on textures, adding lights), then I get the Vue.eon error and poof. I'm having to save constantly, and even the save process has gotten slower, with scenes a similar size to those from last fall which saved in a jiffy. The scene I worked on last weekend with the large knight and little guy in it must have crashed a dozen times. Only about 2 mil polys, 2 lights. Getting through the material summaries and editors was painful. I have a lot less apps on that machine than I used to, due to a big disk crash and replacement, so wiped the whole thing and started from scratch. W2K, sp4, 1G DDRAM, Athlon 1G. etc etc. But I'm a lot less happy than I was. And before anyone asks or infers....I AM A LEGAL USER OF VUE PRO AND VUE. Always have been. Registered at Eon, etc. I am trying to be patient, and hope that the application gets more steady.
