Problem when opening file created with older maxwell version

I don't know if it has been discussed here, but when I open a file in Max that was rendered with an older version of Maxwell (don't remember which exact version), I get a very dark render.
I mean black. Only certain materials show vaguely.
I did various test, changing materials, render setting etc, but i got nowhere.

Any help will be appreciated.

Are you using sky dome to light the scene? The units for the sky dome intensity have changed a while ago and you have to multiply the old value by 100 to get the same lighting with the newer versions.

If it's not because of the sky dome, could you send us the scene so we can debug it, please? My email is mihnea.balta@gmail.com.
