Does anyone else feel they have to reset the viewport much more often in H20?

I was just going through the Entagma's H20 Feathers tutorials and had to use the lab's viewport reset over ten times in 20 min. Otherwise for example the shading / colors preview is gone.

Do you have Vulkan enabled?

I haven't had any other reports for this, so it'd be interesting to know a bit more about your setup.

  • OpenGL/Vulkan?
  • OS
  • GPU
  • GPU Driver version

No Vulkan. For me Vulkan right now is largely unusable.

No, I absolutely definitely have to reset much less often. In version 19, I pressed the hotkey to reset the screen almost after every node, hundreds of times. Now - only a few times per hour.

But the template flag began to work very unstable. Very often template geometry is not shown. Somehow you move it, switch nodes - and suddenly it starts to appear. Very annoying.

Same here - I've had to reset much less with H20 - Windows 10 / latest Nvidia drivers.

OpenGL, I don't use Vulcan. I have used it a few times and feathers materials didn't show up at all, terrains were blowing out, couldn't use animation controls in the animation context (no color, they would not respond to clicks etc.)

are you sure you need to reset the viewport? The old delete-a-roo doesn't work?

Could you elaborate? When I reset the viewport - things show up properly.

Sometimes just a node becomes stale for some reason or another. Deleting the node and then undoing it forces it to update its viewport representation.

Is this related to being inside SOP subnets? Fresh in from the changelog:
20.0.533
Fixed a viewport update bug with SOP subnets and HDAs with multiple outputs when the viewed output is set to something other than the first output.

There might be other underlying issues with the H20 viewport changes for Vulcan that impact the old viewport as well. If you're able to, please first try the latest daily build and try to see if you can come up with the steps to reproduce for logging.
