renX stability - Page 2

Heh, hostile, you are the very first person I have met who renx does not crash on.

I think the corruption and save files is to do with the blaster worm fix from microsoft, which when installed ruined your gmax save files.

When gmax crashes it "attempts" to save the scene, Ive never had it successfully save a crashed scene, so I dont bother with it.Just save often.Doesnt take long!

Maybe it's good I'm obsolete. Mine works fine. :angel: Actually I have all the lastest updates.

Do you use WWSKin bindings and animate much?

kurairyu · 07-02-2004, 02:04 AM

it crashes considerably worse when i'm doing the bindings on infantry, however i havent had one time i havent had at least one random crash. (drivers are all up to date, and i dont have that microshaft "fix")

Download from microshaft the SP1 if not installed and dont go beyond it until SP2 comes out. RenX never crashes on mine and I even tweaked the options of gmax.
Also run it on a good computer with no programs open in the background. Update DirectX as well as graphic card drivers. Can allways set it to use the software instead of hardware graphics settings for more stability.
Then again I got it working on a 1.7mhz celeron notebook I got from my college.

Mine RenX and gMax never crashes, the RenX and gMax at my freinds never crashes. I don't know why all are saying that it all time crashes. And I can run RenX, Generals and 3dsMax at one time (+WinAmp in background). (I have a AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 512 DDR-400 Ram and a GeForce 5700.)

What kind of tasks are you doing?

Do you make static models, like vehicles? Or do you make animated deformable meshes, like infantry?

If you want to know why people say it crashes all the time, its becasue it crashes all the time duh.What you think we make it up? please.....

Ingoneur · 07-02-2004, 09:25 AM

Yes... but I don't understand. I make vehicles but I tried to make infantry too, for nearly 4 hours the model was shit but RenX never crashed.

Did you apply a WWSkin modifier?

Ingoneur · 07-02-2004, 09:36 AM

Yes on some models. There was no problem.
