Spacepilot & 3ds max 9 64bit failure???

Post by Dentro »

I just downloaded the latest driver for windows xp, but my spacepilot doesn't work properly in 64bit windows and max. I have "chunky" moves when I orbit and move around in the view.

Hi Dentro,

Could you tell (write) me what do you mean exactly with saying
doesn't work properly in 64bit windows and max?
Do you have more applications or just 3DStudio Max9?

There is a flickering effect navigating in perspective already posted here.

Is your problem a different one?

Do the demos (delivered with 3DxSoftware) work fine?

Looks like the same problem yes. Very low framrate. Sometimes as low as 1-2 fps in bigger scenes. That's not normal with my high end Firegl v7350 GPU.

My problem showed up as I went from 32bit to 64bit XP and installed the newest driver.

My spacepilot has never been like this before. Everything is normal when I don't use my "pilot".

I have deleted my old driver... Is there any place I can download some of the old one's untill U resolve this issue and come up with a new driver?

Maybe 3dconnexion can put a prev. driver in the archive? I really need my pilot to work. It has been my best friend since I quit smoking :D

Hi Dentro,

The next release mentioned in this post will fix the flickering issue and will solve the performance issue as well.

Hi Dentro

I can't tell you exactly but I suppose it will be released in 3 to 4 weeks.

If only new drivers were tested before their release... At least, 3DConnexion doesn't sell cars...
