Sometimes the value of a new release isn’t always just the new features. Each release we target a number of what we categorize as legacy defects and most recently we have increased our development efforts to focus more on these types of customer issues. The goal is to not only make you more productive with new or improved workflows but to also reduce the impacts of application failure or things that require lengthy workarounds.

For 3ds Max 2011 we targeted a fix rate of 35% of all CERs coming in on 3ds Max 2010. At the point of shipping we had exceeded our goal and reached 37% compared to the last HF release of 3ds Max 2010, if you compare shipping release to shipping release this number is well over 45%. This doesn’t always imply that your experience will match this, actually some of you might see better results than this. We tend to focus on the larger issues impacting more people, but sometimes instability can easily be caused by things that are out of our control like custom scripts or external plugins so in those cases you might not feel much relief. However, early CER data that we are seeing reported on 3ds Max 2011 is already showing an improvement of 20-30% across all users.

With every release meeting the CER goal gets harder and harder to meet, but since implementing the system in 3ds Max we have met or exceeded the same 35% goal every release. Over time this has equated to few and fewer common CER crash reports (buckets), and thus why it’s important we get as much information as possible. Please see this previous post from Ken about how you can help contribute.

We are not only setting a goal of being more responsive to these issues but also trying to be more transparent about the issues we are resolving. The following list contains Defect ID numbers and corresponding descriptions for fixed legacy issues found previously in older releases of 3ds Max. These issues were reported by customers, beta testers, QA and the CER system but don’t include all of the CER fixes previously mentioned. A legacy defect is defined as something that was working in a previous release and due to unforeseen circumstances shipped as not working in a later release. Most commonly these are the issues that you might feel as if have been around awhile.
