I've had the updating issue many times at a few studios. The only way we could "fix" it, is to swap out the video cards. In my experience, ATI's were handled much better than Geforces, but had their own problems. You could try, if you haven't already, running the drivers that Autodesk tested the card out with. They tested it with "Nvidia Driver Release 296.10 [8.17.12.9610]", which can be found here: https://download.autodesk.com/ProdSup...glish-whql.exe

While it passed all the tests, Autodesk did not certify the card.

Here's the full test of the card: https://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...os=8192&hw=251

I was talking to one of the Maya guys a while back, and they simply don't have the time to respond to every ticket. Everything is prioritized, and sadly, the larger studios get the highest priority. It's the new "features" that get added that make people upgrade, and spend their money; not fixing old stuff.

You could also look into tweaking a few of the environment variables in the maya.env file. Take a look here: https://www.toxik.sk/mayaenv-configuration-of-variables/ There are a few Geforce-related ones, as well as other graphics tweaks.

Try setting: MAYA_GEFORCE_SKIP_OVERLAY=1

I know this is a pain, but you could also try running Maya in Linux instead of Windows.

Best of luck.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
