Nope, not just you. I had the same issue and Cory's workaround fixed it for me as well. Thanks Cory... ... View more

I sure would like to find a workaround or solution for this. I've mapped my default Documents folder to another drive on my machine because it's gotten so large over the decades. I see @Mylenium's post about the need to maintain default directories, but there must be some Windows hack, well not hack, but technique to resolve it.  ... View more

Logging 'Out' and then back 'In' worked for me as well. And, I didn't reboot. I just logged Out and In and all is well. Thanks for the quick fix.  ... View more

I'm experiencing a severe lag in All versions of 3ds Max that I have installed (2020, 2021, 2022). When I create a 'Substance2' and generate a V-Ray material and assign it to an object, the lag is severe, sometimes 45-seconds between each mouse click. The Substances come from Substance Source within Max.    I have a very powerful system and opened a file that had 32 million polys and no Substance Materials. It performs quite well. But a scene with 250K polys and a Substance is brought to it's knees.    I began searching the AREA Max Forum and the Chaos Group V-Ray forums and found nothing. So, I'm continuing here. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue? I have an otherwise, clean, sound and perfectly performing custom machine. It's fully updated, current video and Max Updates. DISM reports a sound OS.    Here is an AREA Max Forum post where I'm participating and shared a video of the problem.  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/low-polys-but-viewport-is-very-lag/td-p/10394401    Machine Specs: 3ds Max 2022 (3D Studio thru Max 2022), GIGABYTE X570 AORUS x570 Master Motherboard, Ryzen 9 3950x CPU, 128 GB G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4 Ram, Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 M.2 drives NVidia RTX 2080 Ti, Space Pilot Pro, Windows 10, Tri-Monitor, Cintiq 13HD ...

@Idiotekque  Did you ever figure this out? I don't understand why no one could understand your question. Maybe it was confused by your mentioning the effects.    Here's my issue, and I think it's like yours. I'm recording my voice in a new Multitrack. I hear my own voice coming out over my speakers. I want to "NOT" hear that monitoring of my voice. Is there some simple way to just turn that off?   I'm guessing that "no", there isn't, which is kind of baffling. But, if you did find a way that does not involve 8 steps in "Windows Audio Settings" or the like, can you post back? ... View more

Thanks Chris, ha, yea, I did that. The only thing that they had me try that's not in this thread was to change USB ports that the tablet was plugged into. Otherwise, it was not helpful nor was it thinking outside the box. In fact there were a couple of things here that he didn't even suggest. The good news is that I decided to uninstall the tablet again and then uninstalled Photoshop. I used RevoUninstller to clean any residual keys and files, rebooted and reinstalled everything. It worked. I now have pressure back. But here's the problem. This happened three weeks ago and I fixed it by reinstalling just the Cintiq driver. I'm not sure what keeps breaking it but I suspect it will happen again. So, I've created an image of the good install to use to restore things if it fails again and reinstalls fail. ... View more

I have tried everything also. Nothing works. I still have an 'exclamation' mark next to the 'Pen Pressure' dropdown in 'Shape Dynamics.' I've uninstalled my Wacom Cintiq HD drivers, rebooted, reinstalled driver 'WacomTablet_6.3.15-3.exe' and still nothing. Window Ink, Text file, nothing works. I'm continuing to search for a solution and if I find one I'll report back here. -Windows 10 Pro -Photoshop CC 2015 -Wacom Cintiq HD (used as tablet with two regular monitors) ... View more

This has been driving me crazy all morning and I've read a lot of fixes. I uninstalled, reinstalled, etc, etc. Nothing worked. But, I just went to my Wacom Tablet Properties/Calibrate. 'Use Windows Ink' was checked. So, I unchecked it, launched Photoshop and tried pressure. It did not work and the exclamation point was still there. But wait... Ok, so I went back to the Properties and "checked" 'Use Windows Ink to re-enable it. Went back to Photoshop and it worked. I have pressure. As simple of a fix as it seems, unchecking it and rechecking it fixed it for me when nothing else that I did for 3 hours would work. ... View more

Future Fossil, I can't speak to CAD programs and their level of compatibility with Windows 10 as I don't know what you use, but Adobe CC works flawlessly with Windows 10 as far as I can tell. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Bridge heavily and have had no issues. If you do plan one day to upgrade to Windows 10, don't let worries about Adobe dissuade you. It's fine in Windows 10. As much as I dislike the "rental" (they like to call it "subscription") plans that we are all forced into now, there is one benefit that we are being afforded, we get frequent updates to patches that attempt to ensure compatibility. Adobe has release several that address Windows 10 in short succession. Obviously Adobe and Autocad could have done that all along, released frequent updates. They swear that these faster updates are the by-product of the subscription model. We all know that's not true as they can release a patch at anytime to anyone, but, having them has been helping as we all try to figure out if migrating to Windows 10 is prudent. I skipped Windows 8 on purpose because it was so bad, but, I have to say, even as fearful as I was about Windows 10, those fears are evaporating. I'm a 3d guy and I use a lot of various, expensive and intense programs. I also use a lot of free, cheap and quick-n-dirty programs for little tasks. I'm not finding any problems with any of them except the Belkin Bulldog backup battery drivers.  I'm not sure that upgrading to Windows 10 is the solution nor am I telling you to do that. I hope they solve this issue soon for those still having the problem in Illustrator. I solved mine by disabling the "Mirror Driver" as I reported. What I'm saying is since I've gotten off topic and rambled is that don't be overly scared of Windows 10. It's pretty nice, and I harbor a lot of disdain for Microsoft and their ability to truly meet our expectations. This time I think they got it right. ... View more

Disable the 'logmein rescue' virtual driver and reboot. See if Illustrator is now OK. ... View more

Do you have multiple items listed under 'Display Adapters' in Device Manager? If so, disable all but your GTX, reboot and see if that solves your issue. It did mine. It's just a pain to have to re-enable the one I turned off when I want to take advantage of it. I thought for a while it was a global problem with my machine and my NVidia graphics drivers, that maybe there was some lingering display driver that didn't uninstall properly. But all my other programs (and I'm a 3d animator so I have a lot that report the status of the display adapter) pick up my NVidia K5200 and correctly identify it and it's drivers. This is definitely a problem with Illustrator and something Adobe is going to have to fix. ... View more

Same issue here. All the other CC programs are picking up my NVidia K5200 properly on my Windows 7 Pro x64 machine. I have the latest drivers. An earlier post suggested disabling the "on-board" video adapter. That intrigued me as I don't have an on-board adapter, but, I went and looked and I have a 'VNC Mirror Driver' listed under Display Adapters. I need VNC so I can't keep this disabled but I did disable it and rebooted. Illustrator works perfectly now and I have the GPU functionality. So, Adobe, create a switch for us in the Preferences so we can pick the video adapter to use with Illustrator. I think that will solve all of our problems. Or, tell us a Registry tweak that will lock the chosen adapter to Illustrator. Either would be fine but just do it. I need a solution as I can't leave VNC turned off and Illustrator is not performing as well as it should with GPU disabled. ... View more
