Hi ! The further discussion via mail was the following: 1] Update to the very latest graphics card driver. 2] Deactivate Shadows and Ambient Occlusion in the viewport settings menu since they slow down the rendering 3] The graphics card driver crashes if the viewportport takes longer than 1-2 seconds to render ( ~ 0.5 fps refresh rate ). CE (and all other OpenGL-enabled applications at the same time) is crashed due to a timeout of the graphics card driver itself, so there's not really something we can do other than to try and prevent that the fps drops below 1fps. Let me know if this makes sense .. Matt Hi Matt, I'm just new user and I'm testing CE's capabilities and workflow with a test 2012 version. I'm on lesson 4th of the tuts and I'm really surpised and motivated with the app. About graphic cards issues I was asking myself if there is some kind of incompatibilities with other high demand graphic card apps as maya, 3dsmax, photoshop, after effects, UDK, autocad or drafsight, or their own plugins. Often users have running at the same time several apps as those, everyone using its own card driver gestion and memory on parallel mode, one with OpenGL, other with Nitrous, other with DirectX and so on. Would be possible some issues related here be caused of running simultaneously apps as those?. Thanks.
