Hex 2.0 Buggy or POS on a mac?? - Polyloop

YellowLabrador · 4th May 2006, 05:37

Hello All,

I got the Hex 2.0 for mac and everytime I do something it flashes then spinning beachball, can't really do no work.

I have a PowermacG5 Dual 2.0, 2.5 GB ram,ATI X800 256 Video card.

I have two copies of Hex. One from Eovia(Pre-Order) and one from DAZ, tried both copies, same issue.

What's going with the mac version? Is this a bug or Hex 2.0 not gonna work on a mac?

Tried trashing everything Hex 2.0 and played with the preference thingy, same problem.

Sorry for ranting, getting frustrated here. Was looking forward with doing work on Hex 2.0 and this is what I've been getting.

Thanks for any info or solution to fix my issue.
Ray

I have the exact same computer set up as you do but I don't have nearly as many spinning ball troubles. The application is quite buggy and crashes many times a day. The price of this software is in time spent rather than dollars. I would recommend running a maintenance utility and staying away from any heavy displacement painting.

Also, I have had no luck with ambient occlusion. Hexagon does not interface properly with OS X and will not allow the ATI software to create a profile.

web1 seems to be a missing computer, but I found the above with google site: systonic.net Seems to be a french tourist site... Maybe your hexagon needs a vacation in France

I presume it is the site for the eovia news. If you go in preferences you can disable this future.

Yes, it's the check system for the Eovia news, on the launch of the software. No spyware or anything like that, just loading an html page if a new news is available.
