We recently updated to 21.3 from 18 and mostly it's been fine. However the last couple of projects we've noticed that when using xref scene and loading a file over 1GB (seems to be the size from a couple of tests) that max will crash when it's done loading. You get the save backup message and if saved and restarted the xref is present.
Did a test yesterday within the same project, both landscape files with the same forestpacks but one just lighter with a couple of objects less. The >1GB files crashed, the <1GB files worked fine.
I've searched the autodesk forum but there wasn't much there to help, only the suggestion to use xref objects instead. That worked, fortunately, to a certain extent.*
Anyone else run into this?
*When removing the xref record for some reason it will not delete files from the xref that are linked to a dwg (as in a reference link in the xref file).
So it's just a quick workaround at the moment but not really a solution as we can't save the masterfiles unless accepting that the xref object is always present. Normally we remove the heavy files just to open it quicker and only load what is needed per render(view).
