Has anyone install this yet - it seems to do bugger all - certainly not fix my hypershade problem. - Cant find any indentation it installed. In 2008 it had ex1 and stuff in the window bar but this just says 2009.

edit - It says it now I uninstalled it and reinstalled - lets hope this works better - god bless 8.5

Nah, not bothered installing it, don't have a problem with 09, so far as I can see, then again at work were on 08 so there no real need as when 10 comes out well have just upgraded work to 09, which will mean i'll have 10 and 09 but only pretty much use 09, if that all makes sense!

Whats the problem with the hypershade in the first place?

I didn't think that this SP really did "that" much anywho.

Sounds more like a GFX issue than a service pack issue.

That`s was my first thought - then why would ever thing else work fine. I can open scenes up with textures just cant change the martial - the uv mapper works fine and paint effects works as well. Its the only problem I got with 2009. My second pc has the same set-up (well apart from twin monitors and the sound card is only 5.1 not 7.1) and it works fine there, and it also works fine in Maya 7,8, 8.5 and 2008.

Well they claim that there is 100 fixs (is it really that broke ???)

I have been having no end of troubles with Maya 2009 to the point where I am considering going back to 2008.

(1) The most annoying problem is I am crashing when rendering. I get a message about running out of memory, but I can render the same model on my old machine running 2008 with half the memory and three generations back on graphics cards and cpu!

(2) I seem to get A LOT more maya crashes and have to save every couple minutes. I rarely every crashed with 2008.

(3) This one is really driving me nuts - when I select a poly object all the lines are dashed like I have display softedge mode turned on. I can select the obj and pick make all edges hard and the edge all become solid again. As soon as I press 3 for display smooth mode and then go back to 1 low res mode all the lines are dashed again!

This is either some funky mode I got into by accidentally hitting a hot key OR a graphics problem because on my laptop running 2009 I do not have this bug. Bit it annoys the hell out of me!

In general I have found 2009 to be pretty unstable and the SP1 patch did not seem to fix anything for me.
