Hi ! Any-one else having Poser problems since last week's big Win'10 x64 update ?

Response slowed to crawl, menus freeze, totally chokes after eg FBX imports, won't shut down from [X] or toolbar, needs hard-kill via task manager. Just taken ~30 secs to respond to UI button after starting. And now, similar delay switching between editing tools...

It's not for lack of system resource, there's 32 GB RAM and an Amd FX-8350 with 8 cores. No obvious memory leaks. But any Poser command sends CPU from 6% to 20% for those ~30 secs.

Funny thing, P is 11.2.286, but claims an update available. This before the 11.3 roll-out...

Have also had problems with Moz' usually benign T-Bird unable to delete unwanted mail. A restart usually fixes that, but PC was off overnight,

The latest build I have is 11.2.319. There may be others but since I am not experiencing any problems, so far, with Windows update, I am holding out to 11.3.

Might be worth checking if poser is waiting on network or disk resources. In the performance tab of task manager there is an "open resource manager" link, open that and right click on the poser process and select "Analyze Wait Chain" and see if anything pops up.

I've just installed the 'basic' Pro 11.3, happily retaining my modest library from 11.2. Hey ! And my un-saved trial renders !!

Took a lonnng time to load, but could have been scanning library etc. Took a couple of minutes to respond to the UI dot to switch to my preferred screen size, used a complete CPU core and ~96+% of GPU. Similarly, took ~30 secs to respond to simplest command.

After a while, I noticed the view was changing without my input. The camera was very, very slowly tilting upwards so that, instead of LaFemme in mid-screen, the ground grid-lines were vanishing off the bottom edge, one by one, followed by her feet, her ankles, her knees. And, perhaps, the camera was progressively tilting, too...

Happens I've seen such before, following an FBX import that went horribly wrong. So, I hit the animation toolbar's 'stop' button, turned 'loop' off. And then RESTORE ALL to pull the scene back. Yeah, prompt control functions restored....

How can I prevent this anomalous excursion ??

You might want to check if you have Poser set to retain some crazy number of renders in the render cache. That will slow Poser to a crawl. I set my render cache to about 10-15 renders.

"...crazy number ... in the render cache."

How would that make the camera / scene animate ??

Not sure, just giving a suggestion as to a possible solution to your mystery. NikKelly posted at 5:51PM Tue, 31 March 2020 - #4385050

Yeah, I suppose it could cause a list-handling fault... Thank you. I'll check it out tomorrow !!
