I'm just trying to test out 1.5 and the new max plug-in with a very simple scene (a teapot on a plane) using materials from the database. When I use the Arroway metal-lattice-01.mxm and update the map paths - max crashes hard after updating the 3rd or 4th map. I have tried using both Open GL and Direct 3D. I have tried Max's material editor and Maxwell's. I have tried it with nothing in the scene. Max crashed every time and the save option when it crashed never worked.
I gave up on materials and tried out the new "shift lens" feature - it doesn't work correctly.
On to the Z-Clip feature... which, surprise, also doesn't work correctly.
I haven't been too hard on Next Limit/Maxwell Render in the past, but it is getting hard to be optimistic after this. I really hope that I am just having a bad day and Maxwell will work better tomorrow, but I don't have any more time to kill testing out M~R today. I have work to do.
BTW, I'm using Max 8...
