!@#$%^&*&!@#$%$#@!S#$%



one day, i am going to find the little guy who is sending me these messages. and he's going to wish he had sent them to someone else

I gues your problem isn't confidential and anonymous anymore.

Hello rusteberg,

please can you describe the steps you were doing when you got the crash?
Can it be reproduced?

Also, I know I sound repetitive and boring, but please the topic of the thread should be descriptive, could you change it? It helps other users. Thank you very much.

same message when I try to render a 3ds file. version 1.5 is worst

[beatriz]

Hello,

which OS are you in? we need more information regarding the crash.

[rusteberg]

beatriz,

the topic describes everything. i could put it into language, but i dont think the administration would like that.

i switched viewports, from perspective to camera. then the "Maxwell Kiss of Death" appeared. (using image based environment if that helps)

sorry, i can't send any scenes. sometimes "X" causes crash when "Y" works perfectly fine. Other times "Y" causes crash when "X" works smoothly. And sometimes when "X" and "Y" are working fine together, "Z" causes crash. When "X,Y,Z" seem to be working fine, "W" cuases crash....... it is hard to reproduce an error, or at least pin point what the program likes and no like.

Its hit or miss with scene errors. Everytime i open studio i have to cross my fingers. every time i see that infamous program error message, i feel my blood preasure rise. it's becoming a health hazard.

win xp 32

the scene is working fine now. if i encounter anything else, i'll let you know and i'll try to be a little more descriptive of what happen.

[Mihai]

Could you please give more detailed system specs? Ram, videocard?

How was the mxs created, what file formats did you import, happens with heavy scenes (memory issue) or happens with all scenes. If you can simplify a scene that crashes a lot for you, please send it to techsupport.

[zoppo]

i find it very helpfull save very often. no crashes since then.
of course it makes history kind of obsolete ...

I have the scene ready for support to look at. send me an e-mail/message and i'll give you the location.

[codygo]

I can say that studio has crashed several times, consistently when selecting objects/groups in the objects panel, three times in a row yesterday at least...

[tom]

the topic describes everything.

Your feelings are welcome but we had to change the topic to something more descriptive and moved this thread to bug reports. We will try to reproduce and debug. Thanks.

[beatriz]

Seems like the problem is coming when sequentially selecting groups.
Thanks for reporting.
