JeanTurcotte Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi, I installed the last upgrade 16.2.0.47x64 on my desktop and also on my Laptop and discover a bug when I switch Chief windows. Every time I enter on any 3D windows, the screen is blinking when I'm clicking on display (see attached video file). The upgrade is not yet installed on my computer's technician and the bug is not present on his computer. I opened a ticket with support and did alot of verifications and tests without any results but they finally transfered the issue to development staff (sound no good for me). I ask you guy if somebody experiment this kind of problem to help me cause the release 16.1.1.9x64 is also full of strange bugs and maybe fixed in the last release. I joined alot of files to help you to anderstand what my problem is. You have files concerning the upgrade 16.1.1.9x64 and the other with 16.2.0.47x64 It was a real deception for me to do the X6 upgrade cause I never had any problem with earlier releases in the past. I think the development guy forgot some steps with this X6 and was not ready for wide distribution. Thank's 3D display bug with X6.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Same "features" on my machine using 16.2.0.47x64. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I must be missing something, I don't see any blinking in your videos, it looks ok to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 "The upgrade is not yet installed on my computer's technician and the bug is not present on his computer." Does he have the exact same hardware, video card, drivers, and preference settings on his machine? If not, then this does not really prove that it has anything to do with the update. The only thing that really matters is that if it worked for you with 16.1 and it doesn't work in 16.2 (on the same machine with the same drivers and settings). I'm not seeing this kind of problem. I bet it's related to your video card. You might try updating your video card drivers to see if that helps. If it doesn't, you should continue to work with tech support to see if they can help you solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanTurcotte Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hi Perry, You have to open any of the 16.2.0.47x64 videos and you should a white flashing just after. Try with "Release 16.2.0.47x64 3D flashing problem on my Laptop-2" video, the background is black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanTurcotte Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Kilgore, I already tried to upgrade video driver without any results. The facts are that the problems is appearing on both Laptop and Desktop after update. I don't want to install the upgrade on my technician computer cause he have the same computer of mind.

DRAWZILLA Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 ok, now I see it, a very quick blink, truthfully it doesn't bother me but could be something, I'll see if it does it for me or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_Park Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm seeing it on my laptop on the first selection click in a 3D view. After that it no longer blinks. It is pretty annoying. It is much more noticeable if you have a larger area of darker textured stuff like a terrain. On my machine this only occurs once after the view is activated and then seems to behave correctly from then on. This seems to be a Chief problem, although updating your drivers is probably a good thing to do in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It gets noticeably worse the larger, more complex your model gets. I use a primary>offshoot workflow, and my primary models can get pretty beasty--upwards of 180MB (I know, it defeats the purpose of using offshoots). So, it gets noticeable on that first click into 3D or after repositioning in 3D. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either I didn't notice it before, or it's much worse. Anybody found a way to stop it? I find it incredibly annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcaffee Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 It's still there for me in 3.0.59, but much less noticeable than 2.0.47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeanTurcotte Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I already opened a ticket on that issue and no results obtained at this moment. Maybe you guys could also do it cause the technical department don't really know how many users have the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBeck Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 For those of you that are seeing this problem, could you post a screen shot of what you entire Chief window looks like? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Brian, How would we do this? The white screen in the 3D window isn't around long enough to do a screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBeck Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sorry for not being specific. We just need a screen shot of what your entire Chief screen looks like before or after the problem occurs. What we are looking at is how have you screen laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanTurcotte Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Brian, In fact, the problem is coming from changing of 2D display and 3D display. You can change the background to dark grey oy black to see it when you are coming back to 2D display. Don't forget to use select tool tool and click on screen object to see the magic firework.

Ryan-M Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 We have thus far been unable to reproduce the problem. One hypothesis is that something about the way your UI is configured (toolbars, dockable windows, etc) is causing the flicker. A screenshot of your Chief window would help us replicate that configuration and potentially reproduce the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 See if this helps, though. I wasn't able to capture the configuration (pretty much a straight extended toolbar config.), but it does show what the "blink" looks like when the cabinet is selected in 3D. http://youtu.be/NBx5U-CV0s0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
