Max fails to save/autosave on a network drive if more than 1 instance is open.

Suddenly this dreadful problem appeared out of nowhere again. I can only save on my desktop with more than one instance of Max running. Auto backup isn't working as well. Any idea how do I fix this?

Yeah, same here. It’s been happening since MAX 2019.2 I think.

Interesting. I'm using 2018, though. When did it start happening for you? For me it started a few days to a week ago. Really frustrating since I'm losing auto backups and when something crashes I'm scr*wed. I just found out that if I disable "compress on save" it no longer get this problem, but then my files become HUGE (over 300 mb each!) and that's not an acceptable solution for me.
