Could everyone who has this issue (crashing when trying to open a file with grass), please list here their exact system specs?

OS (please specify also whether you are running Windows on a Mac PC)
Graphics card and currently installed drivers
CPU model (incl. nr)

It will help a lot in determining the cause of the crash, thanks!

surely there are more with this issue ?
a list of two won't have much impetus to fix the issue

If open Studio and set the viewport to bounding box I can successfully import the file that otherwise cause a crash...

Hi,

Could you send me (teschdesk at nextlimit dot com) one of those MXS files with grass that can not be opened?

Our tests here are not capable to reproduce the fail, and the file can be opened without problems.

In fact, I can tweak grass settings with Fire enabled and it goes fine (until the number of fibers I create exceeds my available Ram, so it starts swapping to disk).

So, please send me one of those crashing files to let us see.

Cheers

I can fix a crashing file by importing it into a new file while the viewport is set to bounding box. Then I do a pack and go, the resulting file does not crash.
