Weird crash but I found a resolution

[gardocki]

I spent the morning working around a bug I've never seen before, so I wanted to mention it here.

3ds Max version: 2024.2.3
Phoenix version: 5.22.00, Build ID: 20240619

Simulating a certain scene kept completely crashing 3ds Max to desktop. Hard crash, no error report or anything. Event viewer showed Exception code: 0xc0000005

Anyway, after about an hour of slowly eliminating the cause, I found that geometry with a camera map modifier was to blame. Disabling the modifier solved everything.

Hopefully this will help anyone with the same problem.

Good to hear that you managed to find the culprit. If you still have the crashing file, or a simplified one that has the issue (would be best); you can submit it via our support portal. So we can prepare a bug report.
