Works fine for me with the same version, but please update to the latest service release candidate ( Preferences > General )

And maybe try disabling the maxwell plug-in, or at least ensure it isn’t the current renderer.

Maxwell 5.2 seems to have solved the issues :sweat_smile: Anyway thanks a lot!
