Quote - MAC users seem to have a LOT of troubles with Vue :/
I can certainly vouch for that. While Vue 6 infinite started out a little buggy on the Mac, it ultimately became a very stable application and I had no qualms about upgrading to version 7. Unfortunately that was a bad choice as Vue 7 Infinite on the Mac is one of the most buggy pieces of software I've ever used. Seriously. For every bug I report, I encounter two more and very few of them have been resolved to date. Perhaps the free 7.4 update will fix everything that's outstanding, but I'm really not holding my breath at this point.
While I'm not a major studio by any stretch, I do work commercially and like with anyone dealing with clients and deadlines, I require reliable tools and Vue 7 Infinite is not one of them. To that end I am still using version 6 for pretty much everything and just using 7 as a renderer, the one thing it's actually pretty good at on the Mac. I really think that before e-on tries to sell an update of any kind, they should fix the software that users have already paid for.
As it stands today I feel like I gave e-on a good chunk of money to beta test their software without any sort of payoff. I'm not bagging on Vue as I truly love the application, but can't understand e-on's thinking on this at all. If they continue down the path of releasing buggy, half-baked software and overpriced paid 'point' upgrades before fixing the existing bugs, I'm going to have to start looking for an alternative as I can't keep working like this, nor can I afford to.
