3ds max 2013 UV editor problem

ZigZag

Is anyone else here have same issue? When I close UV editor window or collapsing modifier stack it takes about 5 seconds.Even if I try to deselect an object with UVW modifier it takes longer time. Sometimes it makes 3ds max automatically minimize.:poly127:

No problems for me, except if I weld a line of UV verts, Max crashes.
Do you have old hardware or have you updated max and your drivers?

My hardware:
Win7 64
IvyBridge i5k
16gb ram
GTX 460

A lot of my general sluggish window responses went away when someone else on this forum suggested I switch my OS theme to Windows Classic.

Before that though, make sure you're all up to date:

It doesn't happen for me with 2012 version, so I think it's not a hardware problem. I have last ati driver and 3ds max 2013 Update 5. I noticed there's Autodesk Composite 2013 Service Pack 2 which I didn't install, but I haven't found anything related to 3ds max in fix list. Is it possible they do not list all the fixes in readme file?

I just tried and it's not helped

This happens to everyone at work. I submitted a bug through our subscription program. The Composite Site service pack is for Autodesk Composite not for 3ds Max.

Well, at least it's a known bug. I googled about this and found a topic on Autodesk forums where few users described the same bug.

It was pretty bad under 2012 til sp1 iirc

Never upgrade til the service pack....

This happens to me, very annoying. I haven't found a way to get around it yet.

Yeah, I still get this on 2013. It really sucks. I've tried all of the ideas people have mentioned in other posts, but I still have it. It's not as bad as it was when they first introduced the uv unwrap editor, but it's still slower than it should be.
