Max 2015 crash when trying to export particles

[jstrob]

If I right click on any simulator and choose PhoenixFD Export Particles, max 2015 will crash. In max 2014 it works.

Both tested with PhoenixFD 2.2.0 revision: 24491

Hi,

I can't reproduce it using the latest official Phoenix FD 2.2 for V-Ray 3.0 revision 24510, which is on our web site.
Do you use the builds for V-Ray 3.0 or the 2.x ones ?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Are you sure this is the correct revision? 24491 is from 29 April - that's not even 2.2 - it's before the official release. Please check the latest Phoenix nightly

[jstrob]

I just downloaded it again. So it seems I didn't have the latest revision. I tried with PhoenixFD 2.2 rev 24510 for vray 3 in max 2015 SP1 and I still got the same crash.

I tried also with the latest nightlies and I get the same crash.

I will try to uninstall other plugins until it works. i once had a trouble with the 3D connexion driver (spacepilot) that caused bugs in other plugins...

Do you have max 2015 SP1?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yes, but can't reproduce with several of my scenes. Does it happen with any scene for you, even a fresh one, or with a specific scene? In the latter case, is it possible for you to send it, so we can investigate?

[jstrob]

I just uninstall almost all my other plugins and I still get the crash.

It crashes in any scenes even a fresh one. I create a PhoenixFD simulator, select it , right click and choose "Phoenix FD Export Particles" I then get the message: "An error has occurred and the application will now close. ..."

I will uninstall max and erase any trace of plugins and then reinstall only max, vray and phoenixFD and see.

[jstrob]

I uninstalled max 2015 and all plugins, erased all max folders, reinstalled max 2015, vray 3.00.07 official build and phoenixFD 2.2.0 rev 24810 latest nightly and I still get the crash. I also tried on different workstation and I get the same crash. I have windows 7 and dual xeons workstations... and you?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Just managed to reproduce it! I'm sorry you had to go through all this, I'll ping you again when it's fixed...

[jstrob]

Ok pfiou... I was about to reinstall my whole computer! Thanks Svetlin!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

It's in - tomorrow's build should be ok Thanks very much for this report!

[jstrob]

All right thanks

[jstrob]

You should make a contest and give additional PhoenixFD simulation licenses to people who finds such bugs!

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hehe, indeed

+1 for that Joce
