I have a problem in that gl objects are not drawing to the default jitter context (usercontext) unless the world is given the name "usercontext." This means that none of the Jitter help files work on opening and require said modification to work.

I am working on a patch with multiple lights at the moment and sometimes they draw to the world and sometimes they do not unless I name the world "usercontext." Once using this name everything is fine but obviously don't want to be constrained to only using the name "usercontext" for all of my worlds.

I have tried reinstalling Max which but the issues still remains. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi Tim Horne, it sounds like you've modified the Default GL Context entry in your Max preferences. If you've set this to "usercontext" (or anything other than the default of nothing), then contexts that are not given an explicit context argument will look for a context named "usercontext".

your easiest path forward may be simply to delete your Max 8 preferences (or simply delete that value from the entry in the Preferences window).

Navigate to '~/Library/Application Support/Cycling 74' and delete the entire 'Cycling 74' folder. (To get to this folder, click on your Desktop. Option-click on the 'Go' menu and pull down to 'Library'.)

Delete your Preferences files in the folder: 'c:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Cycling 74'. Note that 'Application Data' is an invisible folder and may need to be made viewable.

Hey Rob thanks for response. I don't remember changing this however, I just had the idea to delete the "usercontext" entry so that it is just left blank and that fixed it. Surprisingly basic, I just don't how it got there. Does your copy of Max have anything in the Default GL Context?

Good to know the above anyway for future reference.
