"can you please tell us your problems rahter than a blanket statement?"
I know you didn't ask me, but here is my opinion and problems:
I think there was less of a hoop-de-rah over P6 simply because people were tired from the P5 battles. That, and people were desensitized and expecting problems after the P5 "debacle."
Some of my problems with P6:
Slows to a crawl--even with sparce scenes--after using it for an hour or two. (worse than P5)
Hogs memory and won't let it go. (worse than P5) Restarting Poser doesn't help.
Corrupted files (never happened in P4 or P5). Fixed when disabling pmd files.
Corrupted document window -- scene turns to wire frame view and stays that way, no matter what.
Characters suddenly lose all morphs and pose, reverting to zero for no apparent reason. No way to get it back.
Materials apply wonky at times for no apparent reason.
All of this happens whether I use OpenGL or not. Also, I never have any other programs running when using Poser (learned that a looooong time ago), except for my tiny memory monitor.
My machine:
Dual Pentium 4 1.7 zeons
1gig o' ram
300 gig o' free hard drive space
Windows XP Pro, sp2 applied.
