Vrscene Export not including textures

[Anthonyyg]

Has anybody come across an issue with Vrscene files exported from 3dsmax 2021 not including the bitmap files?
The asset tracker and material editor show the bitmaps but when I export with the "Strip Paths" option the file doesn't include the texture files and the file size is small too showing they haven't been included.
When I try to render the Vray Messages windows shows failed to load: error reading file 2: The system cannot find the file specified
I am using Vray version 5 with Hotfix 2.

Bitmaps are not directly included within the .vrscene by default; the maps are linked via file paths that are written in the exported file. Enabling the "Strip Path" option removes the files' paths, leaving only their name, which causes maps to be searched in the .vrscene's location.

Thanks for your reply hermit.crab and for confirming that the strip path option links to the textures and doesn't include them.
