installed patch extrude messed up

**angelize** · 15 July 2008, 06:31 PM

I installed the patch and now the extrusion tool is painfully slow, to the point that visually adjusting the extrusion is impossible (unless you have a lot of time and patience!)

Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix?

Not really noticed - On checking, it may be a little slower - but far from unusable.

No extrude performance problems/changes here Frances.
Have you rebooted your PC since applying the update?

(I assume you are referring to the 4.0.1 update??)

Yes I rebooted my computer since I installed the update, and yes on the 4.0.1 update. I'm running Windows XP sp2, Pentium 4 and 1.5 gb ram. I was trying to do Gary's sunflower tutorial last night and found it very frustrating.

Have you tried uninstalling Xtreme completely, reinstalling from CD and then applying the update again?

**angelize** · 15 July 2008, 07:13 PM

I haven't tried that yet, I'll dig out my Cd and give it a try.

Nothing noticeable here [XPsp2; Nvidia GeForce 8600GT; 3GB ram; XXP 4.0.1]

That did the trick Steve! thank you!

Now maybe I can finish that tutorial.(after I reset all my custom settings)

I just tried the same, and guess what, my extrusion handling is way faster too.

Thanks Steve, next time I upgrade with a new clean install every time.
my machine is fast again.
