Known Issues & Workarounds
Ptex
• BUG ID 17626 - It can take a long time to import very large or very high
polygon count Ptex models.
The workaround is to assign a small uniform face size (1x1 or 2x2) on
import, and then increase the resolution of the relevant bits of the model
as necessary after loading.
• BUG ID 17618 - Ptex does not bake properly if the resolution of the face
is too small.
The workaround is to increase the resolution of the selected faces you
are having problems with.
Graphics Cards
• BUG ID 37378 - Windows: With driver version 320.49 and before, we’ve
seen performance issues as well as timeout detection and recovery
issues with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan graphics card.
The beta driver 326.80 appears to fix these problems. Please try to
update the graphics card driver version if you are experiencing these
issues.
• BUG ID 36260 - The AMD Catalyst 13.4 driver has been blacklisted due
to a known issue resulting in baking artifacts.
If you experience any problems of this nature, try rolling back to the
13.1 driver, as this should resolve the issue.
• BUG ID 18457 - Using NVIDIA graphics cards from the Fermi series with
drivers older than version 270 results in various rendering issues when
the Virtual Texture Type is set to Half or Float.
To resolve this, please download and install the latest graphics driver for
your card from the NVIDIA website.
• BUG ID 12567 - Enabling Sync to VBlank in NVIDIA settings can
drastically reduce Mari’s performance. If you experience very slow
interaction, even with low-polygon models, on one of the Windows and
Linux Tested Graphics Cards, navigate to:
• Linux: NVIDIA X Server Settings > X Screen 0 > OpenGL Settings and
turn off Sync to VBlank.
• Windows: NVIDIA Control Panel > 3D Settings > Manage 3DSettings >
Vertical Sync > Force off
Then, restart Mari.
Miscellaneous
• BUG ID 33293 - Linux: Launching Mari with the language set to one
without certain character symbols resulted in Mari failing with an error
that the specified transform could not be loaded.
