3DS Max 2016 Viewport not updating until I move around

Justo

Our team had to downgrade to 2016 for a gig, and the viewport is taking its sweet time when I make simple stuff like connect vertices. It has a fade in/out when making modeling operations, and it'll only fully update once I move around in the viewport. 



I would like it to go back the way it was if possible, where the change was instant. I know 2017 doesn't have this issue, and I'm wondering if this is not really a technical bug, but rather a "cool new" feature Autodesk put in this release and activated on default like the yellow outlines.

Still haven't installed SP3; asking if anyone knows if this is something that can be fixed without doing so.

I believe that may be improve quality progressively under view-port configuration > display performance tab.

It has to do with "Improve quality progressively" feature. turn that off and it'll be instant.
Configure Viewports > Display Performance > Improve Quality Progressively.

Why downgrade? Just use Save As 2016 feature. I use that all the time for contact work.

Annoying studio politics Would do so if I could.

We use contractors who do this. We get errors with their files all the time. They use the Color Map node (not supported in 2016). When you use 2017 to "Save As 2016" it doesn't remove or convert it into something 2016 understands. So, the material breaks. We also get a Mass FX version warning, thankfully that's harmless.
