IRR map crash at save

[meanadam]

I have seen some posts about this - most are about animation.

Having a new problem today - when the IRR map finishes and starts to auto-save Max crashes and the IRR map is lost.

If the IRR caluculation is stopped at any time before complete - it auto saves fine.

Using DR.

Ideas?

Haven't tried yet with manual save. Also this wasn't a problem until render image size was increased to 1200x1800 (or larger).

Turning off AutoSave fixed the problem.

I don't think image size had anything to do with it - other than the IRR map had become so large (20+mb) that Max wasn't waiting to save the file and would crash out.

So having this problem again - WITHOUT Autosave turned on.

But "Don't render final image" is checked.... Don't know what I was doing before?

[meanadam]

Right - so if it goes on to render final image = no crash.
