3dsMax crashes with DR

[kosso_olli]

Hey,
3dsMax constantly crashes when DR is enabled. It happens everytime I hit render. Here are the Log messages:

[vlado]

Is this for any scene? Does it crash if you just leave the local machine to render without any DR slaves?

Best regards,
Vlado

Hey Vlado,
no, this happens with a single file only. When DR is disabled, the scene renders fine. I am investigating now, it seems that a specific DR node is the culprit. We have 10 nodes, so far it renders fine with the first 5 of them.

[kosso_olli]

The problem was solved. It was a corrupt plugin file on one of the nodes. Sorry for the inconvenience.
