Cursor flickering after save inside 3DSmax

Cathodeus

Hi All,

I'm getting some problems today my mouse cursor start to flicker only inside max after a "save" i can turn arround this problem by loading my UI everytime.

But it's a pain in my A...

I never had this problem ... It's super strange. Do someone get this problem as well ? Do someone have a solution for me ?

Thanks in advance.

It seems that it's relative to viewport degradation and in order to fix that we should activate a "show rebuild cursor" option but i don't know if it still exist in max 2015. I can't find it maybe via script ?

Do a pro scripter can check this. Please that will really help me.

Here is a link a few persons do have this problem but no solution were found.http://forums.cgarchitect.com/64048-mouse-pointer-clock-thingy-help.html

Hi All here is the solution to fix this problem. As i founded no solution on Google i think it can help artists that will meet this f..... problem.

It took me a lot of hours in order to find this solution.

So here it is :

-Deactivate the "Statistics" in you viewport --> Viewport configuration --> Statistics.
-Than try to deactivate one by one the options and hit apply. [In my case the cursor start to flicker when in the Setup the option "Edge Count is checked].
-So you can activate the Statistics but Edges should not be checked.

Hope it will help.

Found this in a google search for flickering cursor 3dsmax. Awesome post mate, it's been driving me nuts!

I had to put in my 2 cents as I had just the same issue today, my cursor was flicking as mad when I had statistics active, and as with Cathodeus, its when I got edges activated. Anyone know there is any fixes for this issue, a patch or something?

Thanks, @Cathodeus
Disabling Edge solved it!
