Help anyone.
My V8 is so sluggish it's barely usable. It's just like back in V4 and V5 when I couldn't use OpenGL yet I can't seem to find the old 'optimized, wire frame' mode.
It seems like every move I make has to buffer first. Anyone else experiencing this?
Windows XP SP2
3 gb ram
Nvidia 8600 GT 512 mb

Hi Mark,
what exactly are you facing? Could it be that by any reason you see the anti-pirate mode that makes Vue crash like crazy? I heard there were some serial number issues that people had. This could cause what you see. Check your account maybe at e-on and see what is registered there.

Heya Walther,
I checked my account and everything seems in order. I didn't have any trouble installing or anything.
When I'm working for instance, and I go to turn a model, nothing happens then, of a sudden, it'll pop over, then the same again. In the editors I click ok and it takes a while to disappear and then my cursor will disappear and it all bogs down and I can't manipulate anything.
Boggle....

Could you maybe post your display preference settings? Smells a bit as if there is a problem there. "Background draw" is one of the candidates. Try to change that to see whether it makes a difference.

I will when I get home this evening. I agree. It feels just like those old Open GL problems one of which was background draw. Thanks for the reply!

The faulse pirated serial issue will make Vue crash. If you don't crash, then it is something else.

I had sluggish response with smooth shaded previews with my GF8800GT.
Settings views to flat shaded helped a lot with large detailed scenes.
You can try dropping the setting for opengl from settings down from shader 4 too.
[edit]
just tested some more.
I get rid of the sluggishness by dropping the opengl settings in options.
From opengl 2.1 (shader 4) -> opengl (fixed hardware pipeline)

Mark,
Try updating your Open GL drivers for your card. I had exactly the same problem you did and after updating my Nvidia driver, the problem went away.

Thanks guys....I'm gonna do all of the above! I'm very anxious to play!

Or you may try not to use the new shader 4 mode but use instead the old standard hardware opengl.

The drivers were key...now we're slick as can be!
