I’m having trouble with opening my old scenes, made on m~r 1.1 with an pre 1.079 maxplug. First I merge everything to a new scene except the Camera, to avoid that bug – now there are no working materials (the exporter shows the could not translate the object “xx”s material “xx”). I then save the scene with the new camera, and reopens it. Then I get the dialogue that asks me whether I want to use instanced or referenced materials. I choose one (doesn’t seem to matter if I choose one or the other), and start working with the scene. Everything works fine, until I try saving, and then max crashes. I’ve tried merging everything from the scene into a new one – same problem. I’ve tried “save as” & “save a copy” with the same result. Any idea on this?

Could I have the scene for some tests? bogdan.coroi@gmail.com
Of course, everything will be confidential.

Confirmed only on max9. On max8 seems to work OK.
We'll try to figure it out, and if so, the fix will be available in the next update.
