I have bought this computer nearly one year ago

Even with Vue8Infinite:it still crashes!

Thank you for your good advices

You might want to update your video drivers and add more RAM if you can. Make sure Vue has the latest updates from E-on.

Indeed, its a 32 bit operating system, its only going to use just over 3Gb of the 4 you have installed, additionally Vue won't use over 2GB anyway.

What exactly are the crashes you are getting?

It can happend when I close the softare, load an ecosystem or rendering...

So I have to save my scene every few minutes

That's why I just bought a new PC and got Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and 12 gigs of RAM. I had nothing but problems with my old dual core running Xp 32 bit and 4 gigs of RAM. Vue is taking more and more RAM just to work. Poser needs it, too.

But my computer is new and I have choosed WinXP Pro 32bits so ?

Win Xp 32 bit can't handle more than 3 gigs of RAM. Win 7 Pro can handle up to 16.

New computer, same user. That is the problem. It is so much the problem that you don't even know about 32 bits and 64 bits. If you dont know how to use it, learn first. That is my advise.

Use Dynamic Population for your eco-system.  Keep the camera tilted downward to avoid showing the horizon and filling your RAM/resources with eco-ness

I'm still on a 32 Bit system there are some other things you can do to help it cope:

• Turn off the mini preview
• Downgrade display quality of unused views on the main display
• Turn on "Don't automatically update materials" in preferences
• Reduce the number of undo steps
• When importing collapse identical materials and use the new texture reduction feature

Don't waste money on extra RAM for a 32 Bit system - it won't do anything.

Vue 8 uses a lot more than 2 gigs of RAM depending on your scene. I never have crashes since I upgraded. YOu can always upgrade to a 64 bit OS, than add more RAM.

A friend said me

Quote - I've been using Vue since version 4 and it's ALWAYS crashed. But I like the programme so I just get used to saving every few minutes ;-)

Hexagon 2.x is the same way.

Unfortunately Vue was never good at handling memory limits. Other programs deny an operation, Vue simply crashes. Now that Vue went 64bit, I highly recommend using a 64bit operating system. That should help to keep the number of crashes low. Nevertheless save often.

My computer is nearly 10 years ago.  Vue 9 Infinite loads Poser figures just fine now and doesn't crash like Vue 8 Infinite did.  My video driver/adapter is over 5 years old and there is no update for it.  I just have 2GB RAM.

The point it, Vue is the problem and not your system.

10 years old?! ye gods, try a new PC, you may enjoy the improvement ;)

Vue runs fine on it.  Now.  Vue 5 Infinite was a joke (Poser 6 importing was almost braindead).  6 was a little better (Poser hair started looking better).  7 had major OpenGL bugs and displacement/bump was messed up (and slow rendering).  At least Poser 6 importing worked and materials were correct.  8 fixed mostly everything (even rendered faster) except for Poser 6 was now broken.  Version 9 works best so far (even more faster rendering now) and Poser 6 imports look great with no crashes except for one of my VOB items causes problems.

All on the same hardware.  All my other 3D software runs great on it.  Don't need a new computer.  New game software though is another story.  Fallout 3 runs great on it.  But New Vegas won't run at all.  But I don't play games much anymore.

All vues are a joke and buggy outdated software from yesteryear.  The few relics on this forum who think otherwise are so 2008.  Vue's history has been a sordid past and at the end they fumbled the ball.  The software is dead but was never really alive.  In the beginning it was consumer friendly, easy  & fun .  Then it turn into a buggy fake professional program (sudden high cost) that gets used as a plugin by the real animation software.  Then eon thinks that they are solely responsible for the movie that used it as a plugin in another 3d app that did make the movie.  The real goal of vue is for YOU to buy their lame models that are even more buggy then vue.  Then those models that are bought are updated so they don't work with older versions of vue.  It is a crime.  They force you to buy the same program over over again if you want your models to work.  It's a real pig circus.  Maintenance Scam...  don't even get me started...

My advice either take vue for what its worth but don't expect more. It's always been a BIG BUG.

Shawn

well, when I switched form a Pentium4, 32bit
to
quad core, 64bit, it was a huge improvement! :)

all you are doing is showing your gross ignorance. It's bigotry, not "truth". Jeesh
