Autodesk 2012 Drivers

Will you have drivers for Max and Maya specifically? I get errors with Max on start-up and Maya does not install at all.

as far as I know you can run older versions of 3dsmax if you have a license for the 2012 version. Then it is very recommended to run v.2011 until the day v.2012 is officially supported by 3dx devices/software. It usually takes some months until every driver/software/plugin is ported to the new version, that's why Autodesk labels their versions accordingly. V.2011 is for the year 2011, v.2012 is for the year 2012, etc.

My question may not have been worded correctly. I have versions 9, 2010, 2011 and now 2012 installed. The present stable 3Dconnexion driver will automatically install as it has in 3ds Max 2012. The problem is the 3D mouse driver will not load due to a Script Error in the file in the Startup folder in 2012. It apparently need to be updated. It does not load in the new Maya 2012 either. I am on subscription for both. I installed them and reinstalled the 3D mouse driver that does not work with the new Autodesk software.

3DxSoftware 3.12.3 is not yet ready for 3ds Max 2012. The next version will. And it will be released really soon.

Stay tuned.

Actually 3DxWare 10 Beta 8 includes support for 3ds Max 2012.

I tried using the last beta and I did have one crash in 3ds Max Design 2011 where I moved he mouse forward to the object and Max crashed. So I uninstalled it. I will try the new beta. Thanks!
